ARM Enhanced Shortwave Experiment (ARESE) Solar Radiation Data

Published by NASA/LARC/SD/ASDC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: January 17, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-01-13

The ARM Enhanced Shortwave Experiment (ARESE) was conducted at the Department of Energy's ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) Central Facility between September 22, 1995 and November 1, 1995. ARESE used a combination of satellite, aircraft, and ground observations to make highly accurate solar flux measurements at different altitudes throughout the atmospheric column. At the heart of this was a carefully stacked Twin Otter and Egrett cloud sandwich with the Otter at 1500 - 5000 feet and the Egrett at 43,000 feet overflown by an ER-2 flying at 65,000 feet.
