大气辐射测量(ARM)气候研究机构(www.arm.gov)提供来自世界各地不同气候状况的大气观测。由于它是美国能源部(DOE)的用户设施，任何人都可以通过ARM数据档案免费获取ARM数据。经过20年的运营，该设施最近在其固定地点网络中增加了两个移动设施和一个空中设施。使用ARM数据的研究已经在从辐射传输到云微物理等领域取得了进展。2009年的《美国复苏和再投资法案》允许ARM通过在其固定和移动地点以及空中设施使用一系列新仪器来增强其观测能力。仪器包括扫描雷达；水蒸气、云/气溶胶消光和多普勒激光雷达；用于测量光学、物理和化学特性的气溶胶仪器；以及用于测量云和气溶胶特性的飞机探测器。充分利用这些优势……
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Climate Research Facility (www.arm.gov) provides atmospheric observations from diverse climatic regimes around the world. Because it is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) user facility, ARM data are freely available to anyone through the ARM Data Archive. With 20 years of operations, the facility recently added two mobile facilities and an aerial facility to its network of fixed-location sites. Research using ARM data has led to advances in areas ranging from radiative transfer to cloud microphysics. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 allowed ARM to enhance its observational capabilities with a broad array of new instruments at its fixed and mobile sites and the aerial facility. Instruments include scanning radars; water vapor, cloud/aerosol extinction, and Doppler lidars; aerosol instruments for measuring optical, physical, and chemical properties; and aircraft probes for measuring cloud and aerosol properties. Taking full advantage of these inst...
