N1 - Funding Information:
We thank the following distribution centers for the data used to construct this product: NASA Goddard Earth Sciences Data and Information Center for AIRS, MODIS, MERRA, and GLDAS products; Centre for Environmental Data Analysis (CEDA) for ATSR-2 and AATSR ESA CCI-Cloud (European Space Agency Climate Change Initiative Cloud) products; CIRA for CloudSat data products; NASA Langley Research Center for CERES, GEWEX-SRB, and CALIOP data products; Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) for GRACE products; National Snow and Ice Data Center, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory for CMAP, GPCP, NCEP, GPCC, and climate indices; Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue center for shipping data; National Center for Atmospheric Research for ASR; European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts for ECWMF and MACC products; Climate Research Facility for ARM data; and the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences for GCNET products. We would also like to thank our programmer, Ryan Fuller, for his input and contributions to the construction of this integrated dataset. Part of the research was carried out at Colorado State University under NASA Grant NAS5-99237, and the other portion at JPL, Caltech, under a contract with NASA funded by Grant NNN13D771T and JPL CloudSat Subcontract 1439268.

N2 - The primary purpose of developing ArORIS is to bring together satellite, reanalysis, and in situ measurements into a common framework to encourage a comprehensive approach for pinning down uncertainties related to climate change. The dataset is geared for long-term assessment and validation of satellite and reanalysis products, and satellite comparisons with global circulation models, scientific inquiry, and assessments of the Earth's radiation and moisture budgets. A few examples demonstrating the potential usefulness of this new dataset were presented in this article. The dataset will be updated periodically in order to include the most recent observations and advances in product development. The matched products listed in Table 1 are available for download and are approximately 7 GB in size. ArORIS is currently staged at the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) CloudSat web page portal for data acquisition (www.cloudsat.cira.colostate.edu/community-products/arctic-observation-and-reanalysis-integrated-system) along with detailed product documentation.
