The ARM Data-oriented Metrics and Diagnostics Package for Climate Models (ARM-DIAGS) Verison 3:
with ARM_Viags_V3 aerosol-cloud interaction metrics implement.
Main features:
• Aerosol physical/chemical properties and CCN datasets measured at the ARM SGP and ENA sites have been quality controlled and processed. These datasets are implemented in the input of ARM-DIAGS-V3.
• The statistics metrics on the aerosol physicochemical properties and CCN number concentrations annual cycles.
• The process-oriented diagnostics metrics on the aerosol-to-CCN activation assessments at different supersaturation levels.
Other features:
• The CMIP6 model simulations are now the new default model reference in ARM-DIAGS-V3.
• ARM observation references extended to ENA and MAO sites with corresponding observations and model inputs.
• All ARM observation reprocessed & updated based on lastest value-added product data.
• The precipitation diurnal cycles are now added to the default output.
• New metrics of soil moisture at SGP and AOD at all sites.
• Season vertical CF and precipitation are extended to all four seasons.
• Input and output subfolders are now all site-dependent.
• Output HTML now fits the V3.
• Visualization modifications on the output figures.
• Minor fix on the python code terminal running indicators.
• Streamline the processes and modify all the source codes: detailed in src/XZ_src_development_log.txt
