U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility (2016 Fact Sheet)
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility is a U.S. Department of Energy scientific user facility that provides the climate research community with strategically located in situ and remote sensing observatories for measuring clouds, aerosols, and other parameters that influence Earth’s climate system. Scientists use these data to improve their understanding of clouds and aerosols, their interactions and coupling with Earth’s surface, and how these processes are represented in climate and earth system models. This scientific infrastructure, including several highly instrumented fixed, mobile, and aerial sites, and a comprehensive data archive, is available for use by scientists worldwide.
