ARM measurements augmented routine aerosol data collected at the station, including aerosol size distribution, particle number concentration, light absorption and scattering, and mass and chemical composition.

Researchers are analyzing CAPE-k data to learn more about aerosol-cloud-precipitation interactions and help reduce a large source of uncertainty in earth system models.

TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER)

The TRacking Aerosol Convection interactions ExpeRiment (TRACER), which ran from October 2021 through September 2022, provided convective cloud observations with high space and time resolution over a broad range of environmental and aerosol conditions around the Houston, Texas, region.

As part of TRACER, ARM deployed a mobile observatory southeast of downtown Houston, a scanning precipitation radar south of downtown, and an ancillary site southwest of the city, where tethered balloon systems were launched. Together, these ARM measurements are helping researchers better understand the variability of aerosols and meteorology between the urban Houston area and surrounding rural environments.
