About The Position

The Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility operated ground-based instrumentation sites in different locations across the world. These sites provide high-resolution observations of atmospheric constituents like aerosols and clouds along with important meteorological observations. However, these sites are stationary and require broader meteorological context. Furthermore, certain ground-based instruments can suffer from range attenuation or lack top-of-atmosphere radiation measurements that are available from spaceborne platforms. These satellite retrievals are not readily available to ARM users which poses an entry barrier to answering broader research questions. This project utilizes publicly available satellite products, co-locates these products with different ARM sites, and conduct preliminary comparisons between ARM and satellite observations. This analysis is used to derive climatological trends in cloud, precipitation and radiation properties over key instrument sites to elucidate long-term trends at these locations.
