  • Aerial Vehicles Program to Support “CLOWD” Statistical Analyses

    In 2009, the ARM Aerial Vehicles Program (AVP) will support the Routine AVP Clouds with Low Optical Water Depths (CLOWD) Optical Radiative Observations (RACORO) field campaign, led by principal investigator Andrew Vogelmann. During this long-term campaign, the AVP will conduct routine flights at the ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) site to sample low-altitude liquid-water clouds…

  • Kelle Smith Replaces Jan Gunter as ExtraView Administrator

    Kelle Smith assumed the duties of ExtraView administrator after Jan Gunter’s retirement in October. ExtraView, an application published by Sesame Technologies, provides the necessary tools for management of the Engineering Change Order (ECO) and the Engineering Work Order (EWO) System. ARM Engineering uses this tool to accept and track required engineering work for changes, problems,…

  • Second Phase of Far-Infrared Study To Take Place in Chile

    The Radiative Heating in Underexplored Bands Campaign (RHUBC II) was selected for support by ARM as an off-site campaign in 2009. Led by principal investigators Dr. David Turner and Dr. Eli Mlawer, RHUBC-II will take place from August to October 2009 at a location near Cerro Chajnantor in Chile, at an altitude of more than…

  • ARM Joins National Science Foundation Remote Sensing Collaboration

    In September, the ARM Climate Research Facility became an official member of the National Science Foundation’s Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere, or CASA. Initial discussions for partnering began nearly a year ago. After a series of informative visits and presentations, the decision was made to move forward with membership process. The transfer…

  • ARM Fellow Position Established at NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory

    The ARM Program has established an ARM Fellow position at the NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) in Princeton, New Jersey. The purpose of this fellowship is to enhance the use of ARM data in the development, evaluation, and improvement of physical process parameterizations in climate models. The GFDL position will focus on convection and…

  • Atqasuk Joins International Network of Meteorological Stations

    At the North Slope of Alaska, the ARM operates a research site in the remote town of Atqasuk, Alaska, to provide continental Arctic data to the climate research community. The Atqasuk site is proving useful to climate modelers since this inland site is more homogenous and uniform than coastal sites during summer months. Enhancements to…

  • Improved Instrument Calibration Capabilities Benefit All Sites, Users

    The ARM fills a unique position in the scientific community by obtaining long-term continuous measurements of cloud and radiation properties critical to climate modeling. Central to this mission is the ability to maintain and quickly repair instruments, as well as providing integrated instrument calibration processes to ensure ARM provides high quality data products. In the…

  • Postdoctoral Research Fellow School of Mathematical Sciences at Monash University, Clayton, Victoria, Australia

    Applications are invited for a two-year fixed-term postdoctoral research fellow position to work on furthering our understanding of the land-sea contrast in tropical atmospheric convection and to improve its representation in global models. The successful applicant should be an active researcher with a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in atmospheric science or a related discipline. Salary range…
