Realizing the increasing importance of new methods of science communication, the ARM Facility began efforts last year to expand its multimedia outreach. To begin this process, during the Atmospheric System Research’s Science Team Meeting, also referred to as a principal investigator (PI) meeting, ARM created four video tutorials based on lunchtime workshops. These tutorials covered:

ARM provides its data to users to enable scientific discovery and innovation in the climate and atmospheric science fields. These four tutorials guide both experienced and novice Python users through the steps and possible issues when using the ARM Python notebooks. With these resources at the user community’s disposal, the accessibility of ARM data became easier.

Instructional videos are easily distributed and accessible thanks to the emergence of social media channels. These workshop tutorials can supplement “classroom” training sessions saving scientists and researchers valuable travel time and funds.

Watch the ARM tutorial videos from the playlist below or via the ARM YouTube channel.
