ARM External Data: Recent Developments and Future Plans
Wagener, R., Gregory, L., Ma, L.L., and Cialella, A., Brookhaven National Laboratory
Twelfth Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Science Team Meeting
This poster lists new datastreams collected and processed by the ARM External Data Center since the last update in 1999 (MOLTS, TOMS, 30 min OK Mesonet, CSPHOT, TWP AVHRR, ECMWF, RUC, TAO Buoy, IAP). We describe briefly the software tools employed in converting these data to netCDF files, because data-users might find them helpful in dealing with the raw files themselves (GrADS, IDL, Perl). The priorities for future data acquisitions and ingests are set by consensus of the Science Working Groups. The current high priority new collections include: Suominet GPS data, Darwin Radar and Satellite Data. Other ingests and collections in revision or development are: CSPHOT (additional sites Nauru & Darwin), TWP AVHRR Kwajalein ingest, SSM/I.
