Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program is a research initiative that studies how sunlight, heat, and energy move through the Earth's atmosphere. By collecting detailed observations using specialized instruments at various locations, ARM helps scientists understand weather, climate patterns, and how clouds and aerosols impact climate change. This knowledge improves climate models, leading to better predictions of future climate behavior and informing policies to address global warming. Overall, ARM’s goal is to enhance our understanding of atmospheric processes to support a sustainable future.
