Abstract

The KAZRARSCL-CLOUDSAT Value-Added Product (VAP) is based on the KAZR-ARSCL VAP, which provides cloud boundaries and best-estimate time-height fields of radar moments. The KAZRARSCL-CLOUDSAT VAP applies a statistically-derived calibration offset to reflectivity fields in order to align them with observations from the spaceborne CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar. For details on the offset values applied, please refer to "Kollias, P., Puigdomènech Treserras, B., and Protat, A.: Calibration of the 2007–2017 record of ARM Cloud Radar Observations using CloudSat, Atmos. Meas. Tech. Discuss., https://doi.org/10.5194/amt-2019-34, 2019."

Ka-Band ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR) Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (ARSCL) CloudSat Calibration (KAZRARSCL-CLOUDSAT) (Value-Added Product Report)

Technical Report Johnson, Karen L ; Giangrande, Scott E ; Zhou, Aifang

The Ka-band ARM Zenith Radar Active Remote Sensing of CLouds CloudSat-aligned (KAZRARSCL-CLOUDSAT) Value-Added Product (VAP) applies satellite-based reflectivity calibrations to KAZRARSCL data sets. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility has primarily used radar subsystem calibration monitoring to track cloud radar reflectivity drift over time, since reliable external calibration sources or other absolute references (such as corner reflectors) have historically been unavailable or impracticable. A study by Kollias et al. (2019) examined cloud reflectivity profiles observed with a well-characterized spaceborne downward-pointing millimeter cloud radar, operating as part of NASA’s CloudSat satellite mission (Tanelli et al. 2008). The Kollias team derivedmore »« less
KAZRARSCL-c0-All-inclusive data stream

Dataset Johnson, Karen ; Giangrande, Scott ; Toto, Tami

The KAZR-ARSCL VAP provides cloud boundaries and best-estimate time-height fields of radar moments. The VAP merges corrected, but uncalibrated, KAZR moments from all active radar modes with cloud base and cloud mask observations from the micropulse lidar (MPL), cloud base from the ceilometer, as well information from soundings, rain gauge, and microwave radiometer instruments to produce two data streams, one with best-estimate cloud base and cloud layer boundaries, and another which also includes best-estimate time-height fields of radar moments. This DOI is for the data stream that contains all variables produced by the VAP. Please note that reflectivity in thismore » level c0 product is uncalibrated.« less
