ARM Climate Research Facility Yesterday, the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works began reviewing the climate change bill, passed by the House, said to "reshape the U.S. energy system." To help inform their deliberations, 18 scientific organizations, including AGU, AMS, AAAS, and UCAR, sent a letter recently to the Senate reaffirming t...hat climate change is occurring. ARM observation data are used as a resource by members of these scientific organizations.

ARM Climate Research Facility “Despedida” to Cerro Toco! After spending more than two months on this 5000+ meter mountain in Chile, the second phase of the Radiative Heating in Underexplored Bands Campaign (RHUBC-II) came to a close on October 24 and our team is packing up and heading home. Measurements taken during this campaign will be used to de...velop greater accuracy of radiation calculations used in global climate models.
