AGU Scoop: Data and Impressions From MOSAiC
Imagine, if you can: One year moored to an ice floe in the central Arctic. Scientists from 20 nations. Twenty arctic typhoons. Polar bears. Miles-long cracks in sea ice and fantastical ice ridges. Snow as fragile as dry leaves. Donning a floating monosuit and learning to swim in freezing water. At least 150 terabytes of…

AGU Scoop: Arctic Clouds in the Spotlight
What Matthew Shupe calls an unprecedented suite of ARM atmospheric instruments helped enabled scientists to identify and quantify cloud properties for a full year in the central Arctic. The venue was the most comprehensive international field campaign of its kind, the 2019–2020 Multidisciplinary Drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) expedition. Shupe, co-coordinator…

AGU Scoop: SAIL Town Hall Emphasizes Collaborative, Interdisciplinary Science
About 50 attendees of a December 8 virtual American Geophysical Union (AGU) town hall got the “who, what, when, where, why”—and the “how”—of ARM’s upcoming Surface Atmosphere Integrated Field Laboratory (SAIL) field campaign in Colorado. Motivating the campaign, said SAIL Principal Investigator Dan Feldman, is that water is running dry in the Western United States.…

AGU Scoop: ARM Takes Aim at the Stormy U.S. Southeast
By March 2023, the third ARM Mobile Facility (AMF3)―currently snowbound in northern Alaska―is scheduled to begin operating in the seasonally storm-wracked Southeastern United States (SEUS). The vision for the five-year deployment is to establish a distributed network of instruments in parts of the region away from coastal sea breezes and urban-air influences. The 2020 American…

AGU Scoop: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Working With ARM
The opening day of the 2020 American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting featured a virtual town hall on collaborating with ARM and other U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) scientific user facilities. Paquita Zuidema shared her wisdom gleaned while leading ARM’s Layered Atlantic Smoke Interactions with Clouds (LASIC) field campaign. ARM deployed one of its three…

So Much Science!
This is the first AGU I have attended. Being a recent hire into the ARM program from Australia I had not been exposed to the larger geophysical symposiums. At the halfway point through the meeting, I can happily say it has been a most worthwhile event. The advantage of AGU is that a wide cross-section…
