A project underway will harmonize aerosol observing systems by reconciling processing steps in the data Harmony is a state of accord and cooperation. That state of being is also necessary for the aerosol observing systems (AOS) operated by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Facility, [...]

DOE-funded campaign gathers the most complete set of data on aerosol and cloud properties from shipboard instruments over the stormy Southern Ocean.

CLOUD-MAP Campaign Demonstrates the Future of Atmospheric Data Collection In July, a dozen unmanned aerial systems (UASs) took to the air at ARM’s Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory in Oklahoma for the second year of the four-year CLOUD-MAP campaign. Biggest UAS Effort So [...]

Research that appears in the June 15 issue of Nature Communications used ARM data from the AWARE campaign to help document the event.

ARM’s Barrow Observatory Reaches Milestone This year, ARM’s Barrow, Alaska, atmospheric observatory celebrates its twentieth year of continuous operation, marking another important milestone in ARM’s 25-year history of collecting data. The Barrow site began continuous operations [...]

In August, when the month-long Land-Atmosphere Feedback Experiment (LAFE) kicks off at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Facility’s Southern Great Plains (SGP) megasite, researchers will get a unique look at how the atmospheric boundary layer responds to what is directly below [...]

Discover why ARM has the word “radiation” in its name in the second story in a series on ARM’s 25th anniversary of collecting data.

In a recent Nature Communications paper, GoAmazon data were used to report some startling conclusions about isoprene.

In a coming campaign, weeks of interlocking observations on marine clouds and aerosols Low clouds populate the first two kilometers of the atmosphere. Cumuliform clouds heap high and are made from columns of fast-rising air. Stratiform are sheet-like and show little vertical air movement. Since [...]

Linking radiosondes, planes, and mountainside instruments to study winter clouds It is rarely a good idea to tell a scientist she has her head in the clouds. But Anna Gannet Hallar, an atmospheric scientist who specializes in aerosol and cloud microphysics, thinks that is a lovely idea. She [...]
