Featured Field Campaign Presentations
TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions Experiment (TRACER)
From October 2021 to September 2022, scientists will use the first ARM Mobile Facility, the second-generation C-Band Scanning ARM Precipitation Radar, and a small satellite (ancillary) site with radiosonde and aerosol measurements to learn more about cloud and aerosol interactions in the deep convection over the Houston, Texas, area as part of TRACER. The Houston region offers a unique environment where isolated convective systems are common, and it experiences a spectrum of polluted aerosol conditions from urban and industrial areas. In addition, surrounding areas also show significantly lower background aerosol concentrations.

Cloud, Aerosol, and Complex Terrain Interactions (CACTI)
From October 2018 through April 2019, CACTI collected ground and aerial data to explore the life cycles of convective clouds in Argentina’s Sierras de Córdoba mountain range. This area is said to spawn the biggest thunderstorms in the world. The campaign featured the first deployment of the second-generation C-Band Scanning ARM Precipitation Radar, which delivers slice-like flat images of the atmosphere. CACTI ran concurrently with Remote sensing of Electrification, Lightning, And Mesoscale/microscale Processes with Adaptive Ground Observations (RELAMPAGO), a campaign largely funded by the National Science Foundation.
