TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the performance of the National Mosaic and Multi-Sensor Next Generation Quantitative Precipitation Estimation System (NMQ Q2) and a simplified version of the Self-Calibrating Multivariate PrecIP Retrieval (SCaMPR) algorithm, over the state of Oklahoma using Oklahoma Mesonet observations.

TL;DR: In this article, the spectral single scattering albedo (wo(λ) was calculated for two strong Asian dust events from the winter (December 2007) and spring (March 2010) seasons using AERONET retrieved parameters from three sites along the dust event path.

TL;DR: In this article, a decade of collocated Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) 35-GHz millimeter cloud radar (MMCR) and Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) data over the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) site have been collected during the period of 1997-2006.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used NASA CERES satellite products and NCAR CESM model simulations to suggest that summertime low clouds have played an important role in driving sea ice melt by amplifying the adiabatic warming induced by a stronger anticyclonic circulation aloft.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the performance of the NASA Goddard Institute of Space Studies (GISS) Model E2 atmospheric general circulation model (GCM; post-CMIP5, hereafter P5) with the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) ground-based observations made during the period 2002-08.
