Radiative Transfer Model (RTM) Simulation

Atmospheric Radiative Measurement

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program is the largest global change research program supported by the U.S. Department of Energy. The primary goal of the ARM Program is to improve the treatment of cloud and radiation physics in global climate models in order to improve the climate simulation capabilities of these models.

To achieve this goal, ARM scientists and researchers around the world use continuous data obtained through the ARM Climate Research Facility. This scientific user facility provides a unique asset for interdisciplinary global change research among the national and international scientific community.
