Field Notes

Allison C. Aiken shares committee updates from the past few months, including engagement with the ARM/Atmospheric System Research (ASR) community and subgroup discussions to address new and ongoing UEC efforts.

In late September, the tethered balloon system team from Sandia National Laboratories in New Mexico traveled to Colorado to conduct test flights for the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign.

Hear from five students who participated in virtual internships to support Brookhaven National Laboratory scientists preparing for ARM’s TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER).

Susanne Glienke of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory describes how unique data from the Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) campaign have shed new light on cloud microphysical processes.

ARM site installation is underway in the Houston, Texas, area for the TRacking Aerosol Convections interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER), which starts October 1. Get the onsite scoop from Heath Powers, site manager for the first ARM Mobile Facility.

With less than two months to go before the Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign, the ARM Mobile Facility is in place at Gothic Townsite, Colorado.

The Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) campaign starts September 1 near Crested Butte, Colorado, and the TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER) begins October 1 around Houston, Texas.

Dan Feldman, the principal investigator for the upcoming Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign, shares what is new as preparations ramp up for the instrument installation in Colorado.
