Citing LASSO

The primary citation for the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) activity is the overview journal article in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:

Gustafson, WI, AM Vogelmann, Z Li, X Cheng, KK Dumas, S Endo, KL Johnson, B Krishna, T Fairless, and H Xiao. 2020. “The Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) Activity for Continental Shallow Convection.” Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society 101(4): E462–E479, https://doi.org/10.1175/bams-d-19-0065.1.

In addition, the technical details can be cited via the LASSO technical document, which has been updated with each annual release of new data bundles. Previous versions of the documentation can be made available upon request. The current version that covers shallow convection data bundles through 2019 is:
