大气辐射测量（ARM）流动设施（AMF）是最近开发的，以便在ARM的五个固定地点目前没有采样的地点收集详细的气候数据。AMF包括一套全面的主动和被动远程传感器，包括云雷达，在其位置上方的窄柱中对大气进行采样。地面辐射、气溶胶和通量也被测量，还有一个辅助测量设施来帮助量化局部梯度。AMF是在由无党派委员会评判的国际提案竞赛的基础上，由主要研究者或机构免费部署，为期6个月至1年。AMF最初在尼日尔的尼亚美进行了国际部署，向ARM提出的建议题为“使用AMF、GERB数据和AMMA站（RADAGAST）的辐射大气发散”。本文描述了组成AMF的工具，它的章程，它的部署的描述…
The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Mobile Facility (AMF) was recently developed to enable collection of detailed climate data in locations not currently sampled by ARM's five fixed sites. The AMF includes a comprehensive suite of active and passive remote sensors, including cloud radar, that sample the atmosphere in a narrow column above its location. Surface radiation, aerosols, and fluxes are also measured and there is an ancillary measurement facility to help quantify local gradients. The AMF is deployed at no cost to the principal investigator or institution for periods from six months to one year on the basis of an international proposal competition judged by a nonpartisan board. The proposal to ARM that led to the initial international deployment of the AMF in Niamey, Niger, was titled “Radiative Atmospheric Divergence Using the AMF, GERB Data, and AMMA Stations (RADAGAST).” This paper provides a description of the instruments that compose the AMF, its charter, a description of its deployme...
