2000 ARM Science Team Meeting

March 13 – 17 | San Antonio, Texas | St. Anthony Hotel & The Municipal Auditorium

The tenth ARM Science Team Meeting was held in San Antonio, Texas. 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 time along with poster sessions highlighting work across the breadth of ARM missions. Program leaders and principal investigators presented updates on research projects and proposals.
