2024 AGU Presentations Featuring ARM Data

 
Published: 4 December 2024

The 2024 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Annual Meeting will be held from December 9 to 13 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C., as well as online. With more than 25,000 attendees expected, the meeting might feel overwhelming. We make it easy for you to find ARM-relevant science, meet up with colleagues, and discover new connections during the event.

Below is a list of ARM-related AGU meeting highlights (all times Eastern). Session/presentation IDs are subject to change; please check the AGU Annual Meeting website  and download the meeting app for the most up-to-date information. Follow us on LinkedIn and Facebook for a real-time guide to relevant activities using the hashtags #ARMAGU and #AGU24.

Discover more ARM-related presentations and posters, as well as sessions, talks, and posters related to Atmospheric System Research (ASR).

Add your presentation to be featured on the ARM or ASR presentation web pages.

Attending AGU in person? Make sure to visit the ARM booth (#338) and ASR at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program booth (#139) in the AGU exhibition hall.  There you can view facility materials and meet with ARM and ASR representatives.

NEW for AGU 2024: Only plenary and keynote sessions will be live-streamed; named lectures, Union sessions, oral sessions, and town halls will be available for on-demand viewing only. Check the AGU schedule for more information.

Eastern Pacific Cloud Aerosol Precipitation Experiment (EPCAPE)

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.

Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL)

The Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign, which operated from September 2021 to June 2023, took place in the 300-square-kilometer (116-square-mile) East River Watershed near Crested Butte, Colorado. As part of SAIL, an ARM mobile observatory provided valuable atmospheric data that researchers can use to develop detailed measurements of mountainous water-cycle processes pertaining to the Colorado River, which supplies water for 40 million people in the Western United States.

Through SAIL, researchers from national laboratories, universities, research centers, and agencies will enable an atmosphere-through-bedrock understanding of mountainous water cycles.

TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER)

The TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER), which ran from October 2021 through September 2022, provided convective cloud observations with high space and time resolution over a broad range of environmental and aerosol conditions around the Houston, Texas, region.

As part of TRACER, ARM deployed an ARM mobile observatory southeast of downtown Houston, a scanning precipitation radar south of downtown, and an ancillary site southwest of the city, where tethered balloon systems were launched. Together, these ARM measurements are helping researchers better understand the variability of aerosols and meteorology between the urban Houston area and surrounding rural environments.

TRACER’s lead scientist, Michael Jensen, will be the primary convener of the following TRACER-related AGU sessions:

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.

Matthew Shupe, a DOE-funded principal investigator and a co-coordinator of the MOSAiC expedition, will be the primary convener of the following Arctic-themed AGU session:
