ARM Sites Taken Together Form aNational User Facility: ARM Climate Research Facility (ACRF)
-Open to All on a Proposal Basis
-Uses Not Limited to Climate Research
-Number of Users is the Figure of Merit -No Sunset Date for ACRF
-Use Fees Limited to Additional Costs

North Slope ARM Climate Research Facility:Where Climate Change is Most Rapid
![Page 6: DOE’s Flagship Global Climate Change Program ARM Climate Research Facilities in Alaska The North Slope of Alaska Team at Sandia Labs/NM: Bernie Zak, Jeff.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032709/56649ed95503460f94be709c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Categories of Instrumentation*-Surface Meteorological Sensors-Wind, Temperature and Humidity Profilers-Cloud Observation Instrumentation-Downwelling Radiation Sensors-Upwelling Radiation Sensors-Aerosol Instrumentation-Gas Instrumentation
*About 70 sensors in all (on the North Slope), including radars, lidars, spectrometers, imagers, etc. etc.

Selected NSA ACRF Field Experiments*
• Upcoming: Indirect and Semi-Direct Aerosol Campaign (2008)
• International Polar Year 2007-09• IR Loss (On-going, 2006) and RHUBC, 2007• Boundary Layer Cloud (2005)• Mixed-Phase Arctic Cloud (M-PACE 2004)• NASA AIRS Validation (2002-ongoing)• Arctic Winter Water Vapor (2001, 2004)• Aerosonde Robotic Aircraft (1999-2005)• SHEBA (1997-98)
*About two dozen have taken place at the NSA
