Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility is a multi-laboratory collaboration that is a key contributor to national and international climate research efforts. We operate over 450 instruments across six ground-based observatories that collect data to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes and advance
Earth system models.
All data is freely available to the public.

Tethered balloon system (TBS) flights were launched in September 2021 during ARM’s Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign in Gothic, Colorado. The SAIL campaign, which will run from September 2021 to June 2023, will provide insights into mountainous water-cycle processes. (Image by Brent Peterson, Sandia National Laboratories)
