The Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE), which kicked off in La Jolla, California, in February 2023 and ran through February 2024, explored aerosol indirect effects on stratocumulus clouds to help improve their representation in earth system models. EPCAPE included the deployment of an ARM mobile observatory on the Ellen Browning Scripps Memorial Pier and a scanning cloud radar on Mount Soledad less than a mile inland.
Using data collected during EPCAPE, researchers will explore how pollution from the nearby Los Angeles metropolitan area affects marine aerosols and, by extension, the clouds near San Diego.

Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC)
The massive Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition set out to document the atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, biogeochemistry, and ecosystem in the central Arctic. More than 400 field participants and 60 institutions from 20 countries were active in the German-led expedition from September 2019 to October 2020. MOSAiC’s central observatory was the icebreaker R/V Polarstern, which froze into and then drifted with the arctic sea ice for most of the year. ARM provided the most atmospheric instruments—more than 50—to the expedition.
