March 19-23 | San Diego, California | Red Lion Crown Plaza

The fifth ARM Science Team Meeting was held in San Diego at the Red Lion Hotel. The Science Team Meetings were intended to provide opportunities to share scientific findings, focused technical exchanges, and collectively examine the implementation and operation of ARM.
Other agency programs attended to gain familiarity with ARM as a user facility and data clearinghouse.
Attendees participated in plenary sessions on all four days. Breakout sessions and workshops filled the time along with the poster sessions highlighting the work across the breadth of ARM missions. Program leaders and principal investigators presented updates on research projects and proposals.
