Description

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides scientific infrastructure and data archives to the international Arctic research community through a national user facility, the ARM Climate Research Facility, located on the North Slope of Alaska. Funding from the Recovery Act (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) will be used to install new instruments and upgrade existing instruments in Barrow. These instruments include:
  • scanning precipitation radar
  • scanning cloud radar
  • automatic balloon launcher
  • high spectral resolution lidar
  • eddy correlation flux systems
  • upgraded ceilometer, AERI, micropulse lidar, and millimeter-wavelength cloud radar.
Information on these planned additions and upgrades will be provided in our poster. An update on activities planned at Oliktok Point will also be provided.
