A site near Moulton, Alabama, will house the core instrumentation of the Bankhead National Forest (BNF) atmospheric observatory and will be the center of operations for BNF fieldwork. Because of its extensive collection of in situ and ground-based remote-sensing instruments, it will be an ideal site for major collaborative field projects.

The state-of-the-art instrumentation of the ARM Mobile Facility at the BNF main site will be augmented by balloon-borne atmospheric profiling, surface radiation measurements, and surface latent and sensible heat flux measurements.
