Power Your Research with ARM Data
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility data are collected through routine operations and scientific field experiments.
Serving users worldwide, the ARM Data Center obtains and archives approximately 50 terabytes of data per month. Datastreams are generally available for download within 48 hours.
About ARM Data
ARM data include routine data products, value-added products (VAPs), field campaign data, complementary external data products from collaborating programs, and data contributed by ARM principal investigators for use by the scientific community. Data quality reports, graphical displays of data availability/quality, and data plots are also available from the ARM Data Center
Data Collection and Processing Resources
Submit Data to ARM
The ARM Data Center hosts a variety of science data products, including data submitted by ARM users, field campaign principal investigators, and Atmospheric System Research (ASR) scientists. ARM is the preferred data archive for ASR-supported science data products.
Work with ARM Data
ARM provides open source toolkits, software and tutorials, along with high-performance computing resources to assist with reading, writing, displaying, and manipulating data.
Understand Data Quality
To ensure the quality of the data collected and distributed by ARM, the Data Quality (DQ) Office reviews all data and communicates data quality to users so that they may make informed decisions when using the data.
Acknowledge ARM Data
The ARM user facility should be acknowledged in publications as the origin of field studies or data used in the research.
To make it possible for scientists to cite ARM data in their publications, ARM has also created Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) at the ARM data product level.
