The ARM Data Center collects and manages global observational and experimental data amassed by the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science’s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility. The ARM Data Center gathers and curates some 50 terabytes of data per month from more than 460 instruments located in climate-critical locations worldwide. The data center processes and packages the information from these instruments into over 11,000 distinct data products. For the past 30 years, ARM has been making this data accessible to scientists around the world.
