At the 2015 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting in San Francisco, December 14-18, nearly 24,000 scientists from around the world are gathering to share their latest research results in all areas of Earth science. Connect with Atmospheric System Research scientists by attending their session or visit their poster.
Below are a few items of note at this year’s meeting; see the complete presentation page for dozens more oral and poster sessions focused on ASR research. For a list of ARM data presentations and posters, visit the ARM web page. AGU’s 2015 scientific program is also available.
