October 2020 update: The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility produced a Decadal Vision document in 2014 that outlined its strategy for the next 5–10 years. Since then, ARM has made progress to implement the Large-Eddy Simulation (LASSO) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and Observation (LASSO) workflow and constituent groups, among other activities. A new vision is being developed around measurements, data analytics, data services, and observations to models. This page will be updated after ARM’s newest Decadal Vision is finalized in early 2021. To learn about the updated Decadal Vision and to access the latest draft version of the document, read this ARM article.
ARM is continually changing in response to evolving science, user needs, and available technology. Learn more about engaging with ARM and its future priorities.
In addition to interactions with the scientific community, the direction of ARM is governed by the strategic direction set by DOE.
The following activities were planned as part of the 2014 ARM Decadal Vision:
