News Tips from AMS 2012

 
Published: 23 January 2012

Scientists from around the world use data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility to study the interactions between clouds, aerosol, and radiation. At the American Meteorological Society’s Annual Meeting, held this year in New Orleans from January 23-27, scientists are presenting dozens of oral and poster sessions describing their research using data from the user facility. Here are just a few:

Invited Speaker: Zhanqing Li
