Scientists from around the world conduct research using data from ARM’s continuous measurements and field campaigns. ARM’s contributions to atmospheric science can be seen in science publications and research highlights.
Research
Field Campaigns
Field campaigns provide a means for scientists to augment or modify the configuration of the ARM facility to address specific science issues. Campaigns range in complexity from deploying a single instrument to deploying an ARM Mobile Facility to remote locations around the world. As a scientific user facility, any scientist can submit a proposal to do field campaigns at ARM’s atmospheric observatories.
Publications
Data from ARM’s continuous measurements and field campaigns at sites around the world are a vital asset to atmospheric researchers. Research results are published in scientific journal articles, conference publications, and presentations.
Research Highlights
Publications in scientific journals represent tangible evidence of ARM’s contribution to advances in almost all areas of atmospheric radiation and cloud research. ARM’s Research Highlights summarize recently published research results.
Recent Highlights
Chemical properties and single-particle mixing state of soot aerosol in Houston during TRACER
1 May 2024
Zhang, Qi
Supported by:
Research area: Aerosol Properties
Our comprehensive measurements of black carbon (BC)-containing aerosols, conducted during the TRACER campaign, provided detailed insights into the composition, behavior, and variability of soot aerosols in Houston. We find that the coating thickness of individual BC particles and their mixing with other species vary significantly, influenced by diverse emission sources [...]
