Climate Research Facility in Papua New Guinea Launches Kiosk
The Climate Change: Science and Traditional Knowledge kiosk project for the ACRF Tropical Western Pacific sites has come full circle. Four years ago, ACRF Education and Outreach started building educational kiosks to promote awareness and understanding of ARM research in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea; Republic of Nauru; and Darwin, Australia. On June 12, 2007,…

Science Teams Gather to Plan Arctic Field Campaigns in Fiscal Year 2008
With less than a year to prepare, scientists representing the ARM Program met in May in Ottawa, Canada, with colleagues from Environment Canada and the National Research Council of Canada to begin planning in earnest for two concurrent field campaigns taking place in Alaska next year. The Indirect and Semi-direct Aerosol Campaign (ISDAC) begins in…

New Radar Wind Profiler Joins AMF Instrument Suite in Germany
A new 1290 MHz radar wind profiler has joined the ARM Mobile Facility instrument suite for the Convective and Orographic Precipitation Study (COPS) in Germany. This system operates similarly to a Doppler radar and provides measurements of backscattered (reflected) energy, horizontal wind speed, and vertical wind speed. In replacing the 915 MHz radar used in…

Researchers Combine Atmospheric Science with Heartland Farming
Field studies use aircraft, satellite and ground-based sensors to examine effects of land use on regional climate This week, two major scientific field studies begin in Oklahoma to investigate major uncertainties in climate models—aerosols and clouds. Both campaigns are focused on fair weather clouds, but one is studying the influence of land surface changes, such…

Climate Scientists Air Their Views in Oklahoma
Media and distinguished guests are invited to talk with top U.S. climate scientists and view the research aircraft and field instrumentation that is critical to their studies. The scientists are in Oklahoma to conduct two studies focused on the interactions between clouds, aerosols and surface moisture, and their influence on regional climate. Oklahoma was chosen…

ICRCCM Results Now Available at the ARM Data Archive
Data and documentation from the first Intercomparison of Radiation Codes in Climate Models (ICRCCM-1) are now included at the ARM Data Archive. This 1980s climate modeling project eventually led to the creation of the ARM Program. Included in this repository are all available correspondences, publications, reports, workshops and meetings, ICRCCM test cases, longwave and shortwave…
