Program
is
an
important
part
of
the
U.S.
Department
of
Energy's
(DOE's)
strategy
to
understand
global

The
ARM
Program
has
established
three
outdoor
research
sites
around
the
world.
Scientists
gather
and
use
the
data
from
these
sites
to
study
the
effects
of
sunlight,
radiant
energy,
and
clouds
on
temperatures,
weather,
and
climate.
