Scientists who use the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Facility's data are major contributors to radiation and cloud research. Investigators sponsored by Atmospheric System Research publish about 150 refereed journal articles per year, and ARM data are used in many studies published by other scientific organizations. In addition, the annual ASR Science Team Meeting attracts 250 to 300 attendees, with over 200 posters representing recently completed or ongoing science projects. Proceedings from previous ARM Science Team meetings and ASR Science Team meetings are available on the website. These documented research efforts represent tangible evidence of ARM's contribution to advances in almost all areas of atmospheric radiation and many areas of cloud research.
Many other documents are prepared by members of the ARM Climate Research Facility to help guide the direction of the program and track progress. These publications include planning documents, status reports, and conference presentations.
ARM also develops public information materials to communicate the purpose and objectives of the program to general audiences, while ARM's Education and Outreach center focuses on providing learning materials for classrooms and the communities that host ARM's field research sites.

Analysis of infrared energy levels useful for similar evaluations at local scale
In a study published this month in the Journal of Climate, researchers found less infrared energy reaching Earth’s surface above the Great Plains region of the United States. This decrease in infrared energy is due to a decrease in the amount of water [...]

In July, DOE’s Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) held a 2-day workshop to identify key scientific challenges and opportunities associated with a major field campaign that will occur in 2014—Green Ocean Amazon 2014, or GOAmazon2014—taking place in Manaus, Brazil. The outcomes of this workshop are summarized in the newly released GOAmazon2014 Workshop Report (DOE/SC-0141).

In 2007, the ARM Mobile Facility participated in one of the most ambitious field studies ever conducted in Europe—the Convective and Orographically Induced Precipitation Study (COPS). Now, 21 papers published in a special issue of the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society demonstrate that the data collected during COPS are providing new insight into: [...]
