This spring, users and staff from theĀ ARM Climate Research Facility joined with principal investigators from the Atmospheric System Research (ASR) program for the first Joint User Facility and Principal Investigators’ Meeting. For those who were unable to make it, as well as attendees who want to learn more, the breakout session reports, abstracts and posters, and presentations are now available on the ASR meeting page.

More than 300 researchers attended the joint meeting, and more than 150 abstracts and 50 presentations were shown over the course of the four-day event. Held in Vienna, Virginia, from March 16-19, the ARM/ASR joint meeting allowed scientists and technical staff from both groups to provide input and insight on the direction the ARM Facility is moving and the research progress of ASR. As 75% of scientific publications resulting from ARM data are produced by ASR principal investigators, it is important the two groups collaborate. Sessions at the event ranged from working group meetings to data tutorials to focus groups.
