Abstract

The dataset consists of calibrated zenith shortwave spectral radiances (440-1700 nm) and cloud optical depth (COD) retrievals approximately every second. Retrievals of cloud droplet effective radius and thermodynamic phase are currently done offline, but some of these retrievals are included in the dataset. Effective radius and phase are included for days with periods of sufficiently high COD. Effective radius and phase retrievals in the data set were computed at approximately 5-10 second intervals to reduce computation time. The retrievals can be performed at the full sample rate. The field of view is 0.5 degree.

SAIL Storm Boards 2022-2023

Dataset Beutler, Curtis ; Newman, Alex

“Storm Boards” are simple installations comprised of a horizontal white plastic board that is placed in situ on the surface of the snowpack with a 1 m vertical marker pole for identifying the board center and approximate new snow height. Storm boards allow newly fallen snow to accumulate on them while staying separated from moisture and energy exchange with the snowpack, thus creating a discrete sample of newly fallen snow depth & SWE (snow water equivalent) that can be measured to calculate the net moisture input of individual or multiple storm events to the seasonal snowpack.Samples are measured with amore »« less
AE33 Aethalometer Records at RMBL [AMF2] from April 2022 to October 2023

Dataset Sharpe, Steven ; Olayemi, Temitope ; Moffet, Ryan ; ...

The dataset presents atmospheric mass loadings of black carbon (BC) and brown carbon (BrC), during the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign that took place from 2021 – 2023 in Gothic, CO. A Magee Scientific aethalometer (model AE33) was deployed at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory, 200 m north of AMF2 to monitor mass loadings of optically absorbing aerosols. The instrument inlet was equipped with a BGI SCC 1.829 ambient cyclone with a particle cutoff of 2.5 μm and placed 5 m above ground level. The dataset reports hour-resolved BC mass loadings at 370, 470, 520, 590, 660, 880,more »« less
VISSS Raw data from SAIL at Gothic from November 2022 to June 2023

Dataset Maahn, Maximilian ; Ettrichraetz, Veronika ; Steinke, Isabelle

A Video in situ Snowfall Sensor (VISSS) records shadow images of precipitating hydrometeors from two perspective at a 90 degree angle with a frequency of 140 Hz. From this, hydrometeor properties such as particle size, shape, complexity, degree of riming, and fall velocity can be derived. The VISSS was set up next to the ARM mobile facility during the SAIL project located in the East River Watershed near Crested Butte, Colorado from November 2022 to June 2023. The deployment was funded by the CORSIPP project (Characterization of orography-influenced riming and secondary ice production and their effects on precipitation rates using radar polarimetrymore »« less
Thermodynamic Cloud Phase Classifications Using Machine Learning at NSA and ANX

Dataset Goldberger, Lexie ; Levin, Maxwell ; Zhang, Damao ; ...

Vertically resolved thermodynamic cloud phase classifications are essential for studies of atmospheric cloud and precipitation processes. The Department of Energy (DOE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) THERMOCLDPHASE Value-Added Product (VAP) uses a multi-sensor approach to classify thermodynamic cloud phase by combining lidar backscatter and depolarization, radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity, spectral width, microwave radiometer-derived liquid water path, and radiosonde temperature measurements. The measured voxels are classified as ice, snow, mixed-phase, liquid (cloud water), drizzle, rain, and liq_driz (liquid+drizzle). We use this product as the ground truth to train three machine learning (ML) models to predict the thermodynamic cloud phase from multi-sensor remotemore »« less
Cloud optical depth and liquid effective radius retrievals from SPHOT zenith radiances

Dataset Fairless, Tami ; Giangrande, Scott ; Ma, Lynn

A new three-channel (440, 870, and 1640 nm) retrieval algorithm for cloud optical depth has recently been developed by Christine Chiu and her co-workers [Chiu et al., 2012]. This VAP is to implement the three-channel cloud optical depth retrieval algorithm as an ARM operational VAP. First, simultaneously retrieved cloud optical depth and effective radius datasets will be generated by using the pre-calibrated zenith radiance measurements taken from the ARM Sun-Photometer (SPHOT) and the NASA AERONET and Satellite-based surface albedo derived from MODSI. Finally, the algorithm produces uncertainties along with the retrieval products. This VAP outputs a daily NetCDF file.
