The observatory is part of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement user facility and is the world’s largest climate research facility.

An inexpensive monitoring system with 3D-printed parts and low-cost sensors might not last as long as a commercial one, but it can be just as accurate, researchers found.

Argonne’s collaborations in Oklahoma and across the United States have led to groundbreaking discoveries and development of new technologies that help meet the nation’s needs for sustainable energy, economic prosperity and security.

DOE user facility provides detailed weather and climate pattern data for more accurate prediction models.

Users come from academia and industry, the United States and abroad to access Argonne User Facility resources.

The Python-ARM Radar Toolkit, originally designed to meet the U.S. Department of Energy’s needs, is now making an impact globally.

Before farmers settled the Midwestern United States and planted crops, the extensive root systems of prairie grasses — including the tall, strong-stemmed switchgrass species — enriched the soil, creating millions of acres of prime farmland.

The next generation of equipment is coming to the world’s largest climate research facility, the Southern Great Plains (SGP) field measurement site near Lamont, Oklahoma.
