The Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program uses state-of-the-art active and passive remote sensing instrumentation to study the fundamental physics related to interactions between clouds and radiative feedback processes in the atmosphere. With instrumentation located in three different climate regions around the world, plus a mobile facility for accessing different climates, datasets provided by the ARM Program are used to improve the treatment of clouds and radiation processes in climate models.
