ARM Translator Group

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility is a multi-laboratory collaboration that is a key contributor to national and international climate research efforts. Translators are liaisons between the scientific community and ARM staff. Our work explores radar meteorology, precipitation and cloud radar techniques for estimating rainfall and drop size distributions, and adaptive radar scanning for climate applications.
