Campaigns
Proposals are accepted from members of the scientific community for conducting field campaigns using the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility.
ARM provides the scientific community with the operational and logistical resources to conduct field campaigns using the ARM observatories that focus on advancing research in support of the ARM mission.
Priority will be given to proposals that make comprehensive use of ARM facilities, focus on strategic goals of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program, and have the ability to improve regional or global earth system models.
Proposals that coordinate with other BER community capabilities or that support the goals of the Global Energy and Water cycle Exchanges (GEWEX) project are encouraged.

Types of Campaigns
ARM accepts proposals for the following types of field campaigns:
Small Campaigns
These campaigns cost ARM less than $300K and may include deployment of guest instruments at ARM observatories, use of instruments for offsite deployments, or special operations, such as enhanced radiosonde or special scanning strategies.
Annual Facility Call Campaigns
These exceed a cost of $300K to ARM and include a large fixed-location atmospheric observatory campaign and/or deployment of ARM Mobile Facilities.
Special Campaigns
Currently, there is a special call for scientists to submit preliminary proposals to deploy the second ARM Mobile Facility for field campaigns within the contiguous United States. Preproposals are due Friday, June 6, 2025.
