Abstract

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) provides scientific infrastructure and data archives to the international Arctic research community through a national user facility, the ARM Climate Research Facilities (ACRF), located on the North Slope of Alaska. ACRF's role is to provide infrastructure support for climate research, including Arctic research, to the global scientific community. DOE's climate research programs, with a focus on clouds and aerosols and their impact on the radiative budget, define the research scope supported by the Facility. This paper discusses the scientific infrastructure, data streams and archives, planned field campaigns, and opportunities for future collaborative research on the North Slope of Alaska.
