Campaign is part of large international effort to improve modeling capabilities around the poles The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility is preparing for a heavy flight schedule of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) this summer and fall at its Oliktok Point site in northern Alaska. The flights are part of a field campaign called Profiling…

Women held key roles during flight and ground campaign in the Azores When Jian Wang began to assemble the team behind the Aerosol and Cloud Experiments in the Eastern North Atlantic (ACE-ENA) field campaign, he had only one goal in mind: getting the best. That team made history within the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user…

MARCUS, MICRE field campaigns are part of effort to understand Earth system processes in region The Southern Ocean is one of the most remote—and stormiest—places on Earth. It also has significant influence over the planet’s oceanic and atmospheric circulation. However, earth system models struggle to accurately simulate clouds, aerosols (tiny particles in the air), and…

New LASSO Data Bundles Help Close the Observation-Simulation Gap Viewed from high above, Earth displays three color palettes that are climatologically significant. Both the brown-green land and the ice-free, deep blue oceans absorb light. Clouds, fleeting and bright white, bounce light from the sun back into space. All three contain mysteries for scientists who try…

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist and his team investigate cloud behaviors with a dynamical systems perspective This is the fifth article in a series of profiles on members of the ARM User Executive Committee (UEC). For a while as a master’s degree student at Tel Aviv University, Graham Feingold ran outside when it…
