Continuous Baseline Microphysical Retrieval (MICROBASE) Value-Added Product Report

Abstract

This technical report describes the Continuous Baseline Microphysical Retrieval (MICROBASE) Value-Added Product (VAP) produced operationally by the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility. MICROBASE provides a continuous estimate of cloud microphysical properties at ARM fixed observatories and ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) sites. It is designed to run operationally and provide data to the ARM Data Center for scientific distribution. This technical report presents an overview of the VAP as a resource for data users and ongoing records for major updates to these products.

Water4Energy Step-1 Band-M Ready-to-Train Samples for TVA Weeks-to-Years Prediction, Version 0

AI-ready Band-M (monthly) labelled training pack for the Water4Energy Genesis Task-1 project on weeks-to-years prediction of Tennessee Valley temperature and precipitation. The deposit includes leakage-aware issue-time samples (samples_M_v0.nc; N=486), train-only scalers, issue-time split table, supporting monthly panels, and Python generation scripts to recreate the pack from the companion Tier-1 raw observation collection (https://doi.org/10.13139/ORNLNCCS/3398576). Each sample pairs a 12-month lookback of teleconnection indices and SST box anomalies with TVA-mean ERA5 anomaly targets (t2m, tp, msl) at leads 1–3 months.
