Abstract

The Merged RWP-WACR-ARSCL Cloud Mask and Cloud Type PI Data Product combines the RWP calibrated radar reflectivity data with the WACR-ARSCL dataset to improve cloud mask in precipitating clouds and to provide cloud-type profile classification. WACR-ARSCL cloud profiles during substantial precipitation period where severe attenuation affects accuracy of WACR cloud-top detections were replaced with RWP profiles. The merged RWP-WACR-ARSCL cloud mask is then used to produce cloud-type profile classification. The cloud-type classification includes a total of seven cloud types: shallow cumulus, congestus, deep convective clouds, altocumulus, altostratus, cirrostratus and cirrus. See the data description for more details about the dataset.

Southern Great Plains Merged and Extended Cloud Condensation Nuclei Data

Dataset Perkins, Russell

This data set contains best-estimate cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) spectra for five years of data (2009-2013) at the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Southern Great Plains (SGP) observatory at 45-minute time resolution. All CCN spectra span a wide SSw range, 0.0001% to ~30%, which is not measurable by CCN instrumentation alone. This product has been constructed by combining merged aerosol size distribution data (Marinescu, Peter, and Levin, Ezra. SGP Merged Aerosol Size Distribution (CPC+SMPS+APS). United States: N. p., 2019. Web. doi:10.5439/1511037 discussed in: Marinescu, PJ, EJT Levin, D Collins, SM Kreidenweis, and SC van den Heever. 2019.

TSI composite images merged cloud fraction product for shallow cumulus cases (tsiQLtable)

Dataset Kleiss, Jessica ; Riley, Erin

This data product provides a visual "quicklook" at passive (total sky imager--TSI) and active (ceilometer--CEIL, micropulse lidar--MPL, millimeter wave cloud radar--MMCR, Ka ARM Zenith Radar--KAZR) observations of cloud amount obtained from TSI images at at the ARM SGP Central Facility site during times with shallow cumulus clouds. A full description of the data and methods can be found in Riley et al. (2019).
