  • Wildlife Challenges Lead to Wireless Solutions

    As reported in late 2006, a total precipitation sensor (TPS) was installed near the ARM North Slope of Alaska (NSA) site in Barrow, to provide measurements of boundary layer (surface to 1000-m altitude) environmental conditions. After falling victim to curious and possibly hungry lemmings and other wildlife in the area, the fiber optic cable used…

  • Final Preparations Underway for Arctic Aerosol Field Campaign

    With just one month before the start of the Indirect and Semi-direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC), the ARM Aerial Vehicles Program (AVP) is finalizing the necessary contract arrangements, instrumentation integration activities, and flight planning scenarios. More than 80 scientists and logistics personnel will gather in Fairbanks, Alaska, to participate in the April campaign, which will obtain…

  • Postdoc Position at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Now Available for the ARM Program

    The Atmospheric Science and Global Change Division at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is seeking a postdoctoral or post-masters scientist to assist with the analysis and application of measurements from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program, with an emphasis on the Tropical Western Pacific (TWP) sites. The successful candidate will join a research group that…

  • Stony Brook University Seeking Research Assistant Professor in Computational Atmospheric and Marine Sciences School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences

    The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (SoMAS) at Stony Brook University, State University of New York, has an immediate opening for a non-tenure track faculty position in computational atmospheric and marine sciences. The position is a state-supported (9-month academic year salary) position to be filled at the research assistant professor level. Review of applications…

  • Request for Small Aircraft Preproposals

    Note: The request for proposals is now closed. The call for proposals for FY 2011 will open in the late fall. Preproposals are now being accepted for scientific research at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility for FY 2008-2010 projects that require the routine use of small aircraft at…

  • Science Board Welcomes Two New Members

    In January, the ARM Science Board welcomed two new members to its ranks—Dr. Judy Curry from Georgia Tech in Atlanta, and Dr. Susanne Crewell from the University of Cologne, Germany. In replacing Dr. Zhang and Dr. Mary Barth, they round out the 11-member board and will serve on the board for a term of at…

  • User Group Provides Recommendations for Data Archive Improvements

    Routine data from the ARM sites and ARM-sponsored field campaigns are stored in the Archive at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. During the past year, a number of improvements were made to link the Archive with the ARM web pages, add a shopping cart feature and expand on search parameters. In October 2007, ARM sponsored an…

  • Long-Term Best Estimate Data Available for Climate Modelers

    To better serve the needs of climate model development, the ARM Climate Research Facility has devoted significant effort to assemble a “climate modeling best estimate” (CMBE) of the highest-quality cloud and radiation measurements. This data set, specifically tailored for use in evaluating global climate models, includes long-term best estimates from selected ARM measurements for cloud…

  • ARM Exhibit Showcases Continuous Data at American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting

    In January, ARM joined nearly 100 other exhibitors at the 88th American Meteorological Society annual meeting in New Orleans. This year’s meeting was organized around the broad theme of “Enhancing the Connectivity between Research and Applications for the Benefit of Society.” More than 3000 attendees from academia, the private sector, and government attended presentations and…

  • ARM Kicks Off 88th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting at WeatherFest

    On January 20, staff from the ARM Climate Research Facility participated in the 7th Annual WeatherFest, an interactive science and weather fair for the public. WeatherFest kicks off the 88th American Meteorological Society annual meeting in New Orleans for the week. During the four-hour event, more than 300 climate change activity and coloring books and…
