ARM next generation – Megasite and LES activities

Description

The Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) workflow provides ARM with a routine, high-resolution modeling capability starting with shallow convection at the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) Research Facility (https://www.arm.gov/capabilities/modeling/lasso). LASSO has transitioned from its initial two-year pilot to implementing the production products that will be generated routinely in the future. This poster provides an overview of the available products released during the pilot, information on the transition to routine operations, and opportunities to influence the future direction of LASSO. Currently available products include LES-plus-observation data bundles for the 2015 and 2016 shallow convection seasons at ARM’s Southern Great Plains observatory. The 2017 shallow convection cases are being produced as the infrastructure is being formalized for simplifying future data bundle generation, which will enable ongoing, routine LASSO operation. ARM intends to expand LASSO beyond shallow convection at SGP, and the decision process for the next steps will progress over the next year.
