The United States Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program was established in 1989 to study the fundamental physics related to interactions between clouds and radiative feedback processes in the atmosphere. Through the ARM Climate Research Facility, active and passive remote sensing instrumentation is permanently located in three different climate regions around the world, plus mobile and aerial facilities for accessing different climate regimes. These capabilities obtain datasets that are used by scientists to improve the treatment of clouds and radiation processes in climate models.
