Abstract

Time-height fields of retrieved in-cloud vertical wind velocity and turbulent dissipation rate, both retrieved primarily from vertically-pointing, Ka-band cloud radar measurements. Files are available for manually-selected, stratiform, mixed-phase cloud cases observed at the North Slope of Alaska (NSA) site during periods covering the Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud Experiment (MPACE, late September through early November 2004) and the Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC, April-early May 2008). These time periods will be expanded in a future submission.

Calibrated Radar Wind Profiler Precipitation Observations and Vertical Velocity Retrievals

Dataset Giangrande, Scott

A radar wind profiler (RWP) data set collected during the 2-year Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/5) campaign is used to estimate vertical velocity, designate bulk meteorological echo classification (e.g., convective, stratiform), and provide calibrated radar reflectivity factor Z measurements (calibrated against collocated ground disdrometer and raingauge observations from T3). Additional fields include surface precipitation from rain gauge and ARM InterpolatedSonde streams utilized in the echo classification methods. This dataset follows methods established in Giangrande et al. [2013] and Giangrande et al. [2016] for informing on convective vertical velocities, massmore »« less
SGP and TWP (Manus) Ice Cloud Vertical Velocities

Dataset Kalesse, Heike

Daily netcdf-files of ice-cloud dynamics observed at the ARM sites at SGP (Jan1997-Dec2010) and Manus (Jul1999-Dec2010). The files include variables at different time resolution (10s, 20min, 1hr). Profiles of radar reflectivity factor (dbz), Doppler velocity (vel) as well as retrieved vertical air motion (V_air) and reflectivity-weighted particle terminal fall velocity (V_ter) are given at 10s, 20min and 1hr resolution. Retrieved V_air and V_ter follow radar notation, so positive values indicate downward motion. Lower level clouds are removed, however a multi-layer flag is included.
Combined Retrieval, Microphysical Retrievals and Heating Rates

Dataset Feng, Zhe

Microphysical retrievals and heating rates from the AMIE/Gan deployment using the PNNL Combined Retrieval.
Cloud Property Retrieval Products for Graciosa Island, Azores

Dataset Dong, Xiquan

The motivation for developing this product was to use the Dong et al. 1998 method to retrieve cloud microphysical properties, such as cloud droplet effective radius, cloud droplets number concentration, and optical thickness. These retrieved properties have been used to validate the satellite retrieval, and evaluate the climate simulations and reanalyses. We had been using this method to retrieve cloud microphysical properties over ARM SGP and NSA sites. We also modified the method for the AMF at Shouxian, China and some IOPs, e.g. ARM IOP at SGP in March, 2000. The ARSCL data from ARM data archive over the SGPmore »« less
MWR3C physical retrievals of precipitable water vapor and cloud liquid water path

Dataset Cadeddu, Maria

The data set contains physical retrievals of PWV and cloud LWP retrieved from MWR3C measurements during the MAGIC campaign. Additional data used in the retrieval process include radiosondes and ceilometer. The retrieval is based on an optimal estimation technique that starts from a first guess and iteratively repeats the forward model calculations until a predefined convergence criterion is satisfied. The first guess is a vector of [PWV,LWP] from the neural network retrieval fields in the netcdf file. When convergence is achieved the 'a posteriori' covariance is computed and its square root is expressed in the file as the retrieval 1-sigmamore »« less
