Find out how researchers are using data from the ARM Facility to improve regional and global climate models at the 97th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting.

A newly designed ARM website went live December 29. Read the story to learn more about the new and improved features, which were developed in direct response to your feedback.

Want to see how marine stratocumulus cloud data are collected? Let the third ARM virtual tour take you around the Eastern North Atlantic atmospheric observatory.

A blizzard packing 60 miles per hour wind gusts on January 5 knocked out power to the third ARM mobile facility deployed at Oliktok Point, Alaska, shutting down data collection for several days.

The U.S. Department of Energy welcomes preproposals from all scientists—worldwide—for use of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility. Deadline is February 1

Read the ARM monograph, an online history of ARM written by Facility veterans and published by the American Meteorological Society.

Findings by Berkeley Lab researchers mean the Arctic may be even less of a carbon sink than previously thought Scientists confirmed carbon dioxide pulses in spring thaw using Eddy Correlation (ECOR) Flux Measurement System data from the ARM Climate Research Facility Barrow observatory. Pulses of greenhouse gases, namely, carbon dioxide and methane, are released by soil when the frozen Arctic [...]

Join us next week at the 2016 Fall Meeting of the American Geophysical Union in San Francisco. With 24,000 scientists from around the world gathering to share their latest research results in all areas of Earth science, be sure to find out how researchers are using ARM data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s ARM Facility in these 100 talks and posters.

Sometimes the math in climate science is pretty easy: MC3E, plus 24 authors, equals one gorgeous cover story for the September issue of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS). MC3E is the Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment, a field campaign designed to gather data on the life cycles of severe-storm cloud systems. The experiment covered six weeks in [...]

Planning makes perfect for successful upgrades to the site data systems Throughout 2016, Cory Stuart, ARM’s Site Data System (SDS) and Cyber Security Manager, and his team at Argonne National Laboratory have been methodically visiting all ARM sites to upgrade the data systems, especially storage capacity. By their last installation—completed at the Eastern North Atlantic (ENA) site [...]
