Back Trajectories during SAIL

Dataset Zhou, Ruichen ; Perkins, Russell ; Kreidenweis, Sonia ; ...

This data set contains air mass back trajectories generated during the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign using the Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory model (HYSPLIT, Stein et al. 2015, Rolph et al. 2017). For each hour from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023, a 96-hour back trajectory was initiated at the SAIL sampling site, starting 100 m above ground level. The calculations used the GDAS meteorological data set with model vertical velocity. The files within this dataset show location and meteorological parameters of the back trajectory analysis. There are 21 columns within each data file. The first 2 columnsmore »« less
MOSAiC instantaneous snowfall rate estimates

Dataset Matrosov, Sergey

The data files provide high temporal (~ 30 sec) resolution time series of MOSAiC liquid equivalent snowfall rate estimates at heights of ~ 170 and 230 m above the ground. The estimates are retrieved from vertically pointing Ka-band radar measurements.
Water Vapor Isotopic Composition During SAIL

Dataset Galewsky, Joseph

Measurements of the stable isotopic composition of water vapor were collected between 21 November 2022 and 1 June 2023 at the SAIL campaign main site in Gothic Colorado. The data were obtained using a Los Gatos Research Triple Water Vapor Isotopic Analyzer from a heated and insulated inlet mounted on the roof of the guest instrument van. Standards were run periodically during the campaign and the data were corrected for humidity-dependent biases and were normalized to the VSMOW/SLAP scale. Uncertainties in dD and d18O are estimated to be 2.28 permil and 0.38 permil, respectively.
kazr (00)

Dataset Feng, Ya-Chien ; Lindenmaier, Iosif ; Deng, Min ; ...

The Ka-band ARM Zenith Radar (KAZR) remotely probes the extent and composition of clouds at millimeter wavelengths. The KAZR is a zenith-pointing Doppler radar that operates at a frequency of approximately 35 GHz. The main purpose of this radar is to determine the first three Doppler moments (reflectivity, vertical velocity, and spectral width) at a range resolution of approximately 30 meters from near-ground to nearly 20 kilometers in altitude. The KAZR replaces the millimeter-wavelength cloud radar (MMCR) and uses a new digital receiver that provides higher spatial and temporal resolution than the MMCR. In addition, spectral artifacts in the datamore »« less
KAZR Hydrometeor and Insect Masks

Dataset Williams, Christopher

The Ka-band ARM zenith pointing radar (aka, KAZR) is so sensitive that it detects cloud particles and individual insects. While detecting insects with Ka-band radar is beneficial and desirable to advance radar entomology, this sensitivity can be detrimental to radar meteorology because insects could be interpreted as clouds or precipitation. For example, misclassifying insects as clouds has been a problem for the ARM Active Remote Sensing of Clouds (ARSCL) Value Added Product since its inception (Clothiaux et al. 2000). Based on cloud particle and insect radar scattering properties, an algorithm was developed that identifies clouds, raindrops, ice particles, and insectsmore »« less
