🎉✨ Happy new year from ARM! Here’s to a year filled with #ARMData, discovery, and innovation. Cheers to 2025! 🎊

🎉 That’s a wrap, 2024! Here’s what ARM accomplished during the fiscal year: 🌍 1,062 scientific users from 31 countries and territories leveraged our data to explore the atmosphere's mysteries.👩🔬👨🔬 📚 187 journal articles were published using our data. 🛠️ 430+ instruments captured critical atmospheric data. 🌟 60 field campaigns were conducted. 📡 8,000+ datastreams were publicly available to support groundbreaking research. Thank you to everyone who made this possible! You can read more in our annual report: https://bit.ly/4a1dZOK Here’s to an even bigger 2025! 🎊 #HAPPYNEWYEAR #NYE #newyearseve

Big things are coming in ARM's future! ✨ From April 2026 to September 2027, ARM will deploy one of its mobile atmospheric observatories in #Phoenix, Arizona, as part of the Desert-Urban SysTem IntegratEd AtmospherIc Monsoon (#ARMDUSTIEAIM) field campaign! 🌵☀️ Listen to principal investigator Allison C. Aiken, Los Alamos National Laboratory, as she describes how DUSTIEAIM (pronounced “dusty-aim") will investigate how urban and desert environments surrounding Phoenix are affected by the convection and precipitation experienced during the North American Monsoon season. 🌩️ The region's iconic dust storms and flash floods will be key focal points. 🌬️💧 Learn more about #ARMDUSTIEAIM: https://bit.ly/4j0uvT0 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)

⏰ JANUARY DEADLINES APPROACHING ⏰ Pre-applications for the Atmospheric System Research (ASR) FY25 Notice of Funding Opportunity are due January 7. Projects can focus on the Coast-Urban-Rural Atmospheric Gradient Experiment (#ARMCoURAGE) or high-latitude and Southern Ocean atmospheric processes.

As we prepare to close out 2024, ARM would like to send a big THANK YOU to the members of our User Executive Committee (UEC) whose terms are ending this month. Jessie Creamean is a research scientist at Colorado State University who explores how ice-nucleating particles influence cloud formation and climate processes. Her recent fieldwork experiences include ARM campaigns in the Arctic (#ARMMOSAiC), Colorado (#ARMSAIL), and Texas (#ARMTRACER). Learn more about Creamean at https://bit.ly/4fqbiqZ Watch for new UEC members to be announced in early 2025!

ARM extends a big THANK YOU to the members of our User Executive Committee (UEC) whose terms will wrap up this month. Scott Collis is an atmospheric scientist at Argonne National Laboratory who has been involved in numerous ARM initiatives and projects, including creating the open-source Python ARM Radar Toolkit (Py-ART) and leading a UEC subgroup focused on undergraduate outreach with an emphasis on increasing the diversity of future ARM users. Learn more about Collis at https://bit.ly/4gJNaR9 Watch for new UEC members to be announced in early 2025!

As the end of the year approaches, ARM would like to share a message of thanks and appreciation to the members of our User Executive Committee (UEC) whose terms are ending this month. Youtong Zheng, an assistant professor of atmospheric and climate physics at the University of Houston, previously at Princeton University, focuses his research on understanding low-lying marine clouds through satellite data and numerical models. #ARMData, observatories, and campaigns, says Zheng, have been mainstays in what he sees as his basic mission: “to see that climate models work reasonably.” Learn more about Zheng at https://bit.ly/3VRVciX Watch for new UEC members to be announced in early 2025!
