Description

ARM value-added products (VAPs) provide an important translation between the measurements from ARM instrumentation and the geophysical quantities needed for scientific analysis, particularly model parameterization and development. VAPs are developed by the ARM infrastructure team (translators and developers) with guidance from each ASR science working group and individual science sponsors for each VAP. This poster will highlight the current status of ARM VAPs relevant to the ASR Cloud Life Cycle working group (CLWG) with an emphasis on new developments including precipitation and cloud radar-based VAPs, vertical velocity VAPs, and forcing data sets.
