Campaigns

Editor’s note (June 2025): ARM field campaign proposals and associated instrument support requests may continue to be submitted. However, ARM will not review campaign proposals for approval for activities starting after October 1, 2025, until more information becomes available about funding in fiscal year 2026.

ARM provides the scientific community with the operational and logistical resources to conduct field campaigns using the ARM observatories that focus on advancing research in support of the ARM mission.

Priority will be given to proposals that make comprehensive use of ARM facilities, focus on strategic goals of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program, and have the ability to improve regional or global earth system models.

Proposals that coordinate with other BER community capabilities or that support the goals of the Global Energy and Water cycle Exchanges (GEWEX) project are encouraged.
