Citing and Acknowledging LASSO Usage
LASSO-CACTI consists of a suite of data and associated documentation. As such, there are multiple ways to cite it depending on which portions are used. A peer-reviewed overview paper about LASSO-CACTI has not yet been published, so the primary citations at this point are this documentation and the data itself. Note that this documentation is meant to be a living document that will evolve. Notable updates to the documentation will be tracked using version releases.
The recommended citation for this documentation is:
Gustafson, WI, AM Vogelmann, MM Delgado, S Endo, EK Schumann, AC Varble, and H Xiao. 2023. Description of the LASSO-CACTI Data Set. DOE Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility. DOE/SC-ARM-TR-288, https://lasso-cacti-doc.arm.gov/latest/index.html, https://doi.org/10.2172/1905845
The citation for the data files as a whole is:
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility, 2023: LASSO-CACTI Data Set. <<case date(s) used, e.g., 25 January 2019, or various dates>>, 32° 7’ 35.076” S, 64° 43’ 42.132” W: Córdoba, Argentina Central Facility (C1). Compiled by WI Gustafson, AM Vogelmann, MM Delgado, S Endo, KL Johnson, EK Schumann, AC Varble, and H Xiao. ARM Data Center: Oak Ridge, Tennessee, USA. Data set accessed <<insert date downloaded from web>> at https://doi.org/10.5439/1905789.
At the discretion of users and depending on which portions of the LASSO-CACTI data set are used, one can also cite the individual components of the datastream. Each primary file type has its own Digital Object Identifier (DOI) number, listed in Table 1 below. The subset file types contain groupings of related variables from the raw WRF output data to permit downloading of a subset of data without having to download all variables at once, as would be done when downloading the wrfout files.
