2019 AGU Presentations Featuring ARM Data

 
Published: 9 December 2019

With more than 25,000 attendees expected, the 2019 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall 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 in San Francisco, California.

Below is a list of ARM-related AGU meeting highlights. Follow us on Twitter (@armnewsteam) and Facebook (@arm.gov) for a real-time guide to relevant activities using the hashtags #ARMatAGU and #AGU19.

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

Featured Unmanned Aerial System/Tethered Balloon System Presentations

Featured Field Campaign Presentations

Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA)

ACE-ENA was the first campaign to significantly coordinate air and ground observations in the Eastern North Atlantic.

For better understanding of aerosols and low clouds in the remote marine environment, ACE-ENA paired measurements from ARM’s Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory in the Azores with data from ARM’s now-retired Gulfstream-159 (G-1) research aircraft. After ACE-ENA concluded in February 2018, early data analysis confirmed several key seasonal variations in aerosol and cloud properties.

Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI)

ARM Mobile Facility during CACTI
An ARM Mobile Facility served as the primary observatory for CACTI.

From October 2018 through April 2019, CACTI explored the life cycles of large convective storms in Argentina’s Sierras de Córdoba mountain range, which is said to be the birthplace of the biggest thunderstorms in the world. CACTI ran concurrently with RELAMPAGO, a U.S.-Argentine-Brazilian campaign funded largely by the National Science Foundation. With 80 days of deep convection observed, CACTI represents a new wealth of measurements on cloud dynamics and microphysics, ambient thermodynamic and kinematic and surface conditions, and properties of aerosols.

Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/15)

The city of Manaus, Brazil—situated within the Amazon rainforest—is seen from the air.

During GoAmazon2014/15, scientists studied the atmosphere above and around Manaus, a city of more than 2 million people in central Brazil, during both the wet and dry seasons. Research from the campaign is shedding light on the interactions of pristine forest air and urban pollution.

Holistic Interactions of Shallow Clouds, Aerosols, and Land-Ecosystems (HI-SCALE)

HI-SCALE’s two observation periods take advantage of different stages and distribution of “greenness” for various types of vegetation near the SGP megasite, as well as organic aerosol properties that vary during the growing season.
HI-SCALE’s two observation periods took advantage of different stages and distribution of “greenness” for various types of vegetation around ARM’s Southern Great Plains observatory, as well as organic aerosol properties that vary during the growing season.

In 2016, ARM conducted the HI-SCALE campaign around its Southern Great Plains atmospheric observatory during two intensive operational periods—one from April to May and a second from August through September. The airborne and ground-based data from HI-SCALE are providing a closer look at the life cycle of shallow convective clouds.
