ARM Tropical Western Pacific, Nauru Site, Atmospheric Profiling

Entry ID: TWPC2atmospheric_profiling

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program is the largest global
change research program supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). ARM
scientists focus on obtaining field measurements and developing models to
better understand the processes that control solar and thermal infrared
radiative transfer in the atmosphere (especially in clouds) and at the earth's
surface.

measurement (ARM) data.

Description: This catalog lists the data streams that are currently available from the ARM
Archive. The data streams are listed by file format type (i.e, CDF, HDF, RAW,
JPG, ASC, and Other) and then by the site where the data are collected. Each
list contains the name of the data streams in alphanumeric order, the number of
files within the data stream, the minimum data date, and the maximum data date.
The sites that have the word development in parenthesis are data processes
which are operated during the final phases of implementation of a data source,
resulting in data which are labeled as Development. Development data are
frequently available to users, but additional information about the operating
conditions and potential for errors must be considered. The files in CDF format
are also listed in preformatted lists for those browsers that have difficulty
handling large html tables. The information in this catalog is updated about
once a month.
