Abstract. Airborne measurements are pivotal for providing detailed, spatiotemporally resolved information about atmospheric parameters, and aerosol and cloud properties, thereby enhancing our understanding of dynamic atmospheric processes. For 30 years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science supported an instrumented Gulfstream-1 (G-1) aircraft for atmospheric field campaigns. Data from the final decade of G-1 operations were archived by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility Data Center and made publicly available at no cost to all registered users. To ensure a consistent data format and to improve the accessibility of the ARM airborne data, an integrated dataset was recently developed covering the final six years of G-1 operations (2013 to 2018). The integrated dataset includes data collected from 236 flights (766.4 hours), which covered the Arctic, the U.S. Southern Great Plains (SGP), the U.S. West Coast, the Eastern North Atlantic (ENA), the Amazon Basin in Brazil, and the Sierras de Córdoba range in Argentina. These comprehensive data streams provide much-needed insight into spatiotemporal variability of thermodynamic quantities, aerosol and cloud states and properties for addressing essential science questions in Earth system process studies. This manuscript describes the DOE ARM merged G-1 datasets, including information on the acquisition, collection, and quality control processes. It further illustrates the usage of this merged dataset to evaluate the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) with the Earth System Model Aerosol-Cloud Diagnostics (ESMAC Diags) package.

2013年至2018年大气辐射测量（ARM）机载现场活动数据产品


摘要。机载测量对于提供有关大气参数、气溶胶和云特性的详细时空解析信息至关重要，从而增强我们对动态大气过程的理解。 30 年来，美国能源部 (DOE) 科学办公室支持一架配备仪表的湾流-1 (G-1) 飞机进行大气场活动。 G-1 运行最后十年的数据由大气辐射测量 (ARM) 用户设施数据中心存档，并向所有注册用户免费公开。为了确保一致的数据格式并提高 ARM 机载数据的可访问性，最近开发了一个涵盖 G-1 运营最后六年（2013 年至 2018 年）的综合数据集。集成数据集包括从 236 个航班（766.4 小时）收集的数据，覆盖北极、美国南部大平原 (SGP)、美国西海岸、北大西洋东部 (ENA)、巴西亚马逊盆地和山脉阿根廷科尔多瓦山脉。这些全面的数据流提供了对热力学量、气溶胶和云状态及属性的时空变化的急需洞察，以解决地球系统过程研究中的基本科学问题。本手稿描述了 DOE ARM 合并的 G-1 数据集，包括有关采集、收集和质量控制过程的信息。它进一步说明了如何使用此合并数据集来评估百亿亿次能源地球系统模型 (E3SM) 和地球系统模型气溶胶云诊断 (ESMAC Diags) 包。
