Propose a Field Campaign

Before submitting a field campaign preproposal to the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility, read the ARM Field Campaign Guidelines for an overview of processes and requirements. Guidelines for smaller campaigns (e.g., deployment of a guest instrument at an ARM site), tethered balloon system (TBS) missions, and the annual facility call are also available.

ARM reviews proposals on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual basis as determined by the individual proposal classification. When submitting a preproposal, ensure that the proposed start date of the campaign leaves adequate time for the review and approval process.

IMPORTANT If preparing preproposals in Microsoft® Word® or other document preparation software, please copy and paste it into a plain text editor, such as Notepad, before copying it into the preproposal. This helps eliminate hidden code from being carried over. If including scientific characters or any other special characters, please use the ISO 8859-1 standard for HTML conversion or spell it out. For assistance with characters conversion, contact the administrators.
