Scientists from around the world conduct research using data from ARM’s continuous measurements and field campaigns. ARM’s contributions to atmospheric science can be seen in science publications and research highlights.
Research
ARM’s continuous measurements and field campaigns are helping advance climate science.
Field Campaigns
Field campaigns provide a means for scientists to augment or modify the configuration of the ARM facility to address specific science issues. Campaigns range in complexity from deploying a single instrument to deploying an ARM Mobile Facility to remote locations around the world. As a scientific user facility, any scientist can submit a proposal to do field campaigns at ARM’s atmospheric observatories.
Publications
Data from ARM’s continuous measurements and field campaigns at sites around the world are a vital asset to atmospheric researchers. Research results are published in scientific journal articles, conference publications, and presentations.
Research Highlights
Publications in scientific journals represent tangible evidence of ARM’s contribution to advances in almost all areas of atmospheric radiation and cloud research. ARM’s Research Highlights summarize recently published research results.

Deep convection is a major contributor to annual total precipitation and a source of very high-intensity rainfall over coastal Texas. Understanding the initiation and development of deep convection, including isolated deep convection (IDC) and mesoscale convective systems (MCSs), is crucial due to their significant impact on regional weather patterns and [...]
