BAMS Features ARM Mountain Hydrology Campaign

Initial results from the ASR-supported SAIL campaign are detailed in the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).

Blowing Snow Contributes to Arctic Warming

Using ARM data from the MOSAiC expedition, ASR-supported scientists discovered abundant fine sea salt aerosol production from wind-blown snow in the central Arctic, increasing seasonal surface warming.

ASR-Supported SCILLA Experiment Gathers Data, Flies to Analysis

Research aircraft collects aerosol and trace gas data upwind of EPCAPE campaign.
