With an epic Arctic Ocean expedition at an end, researchers wrangle with rich ARM measurements More than once during the central Arctic winter of 2019–2020, radar technician Vagner Castro scrambled onto the frigid monkey deck of the ice-locked R/V Polarstern to replace tiny screws on the [...]

ARM campaign looking at convective cloud life cycle took place in the mountains of Argentina Data collected by the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility are providing clues about how clouds in central Argentina grow into notoriously large and long-lived thunderstorms. ARM’s [...]

Scientists put ARM field campaign’s data sets to work Abundant above the Earth, low clouds affect earth systems globally. Despite their importance, these clouds are not well-represented in global climate models. Therefore, low clouds’ response to changes in atmospheric aerosols has [...]

Learn about Xie, a cloud and earth system modeler whose many roles include coordinating the science translators who help make ARM measurements more accessible.

Bringing together almost 200 participants virtually, a recent ARM/Atmospheric System Research (ASR) workshop explored the burgeoning role of machine learning in atmospheric science. 

Get to know the new lead of ARM’s radar systems engineering group and two new members of the team.

Learn about the Infrastructure Management Board, its activities, and how it works with the U.S. Department of Energy to keep ARM running smoothly.

Get to know this Brookhaven National Laboratory scientist, who will soon lead an ARM campaign focused on collecting novel convection measurements.

Find out how a group across ARM, led by an early-career scientist, has made aerial data more accessible for ARM users.

Watch new visualizations that turn data from the Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI) field campaign into dramatic three-dimensional images of evolving thunderstorms.
