ARM Southern Great Plains
Site Scientist Team

The ARM Southern Great Plains (SGP) Site Scientist Team (SST) is located at the University of Oklahoma within the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS). The SST's main charge is to ensure the overall scientific productivity and integrity of the SGP CART site. This is embodied through the following tasks: (1) provide on-site scientific guidance for day-to-day operational decisions affecting ARM's research programs; (2) monitor, analyze, and document data quality and provide regular, frequent assessments of the results; (3) develop the Site Scientific Mission; (4) conduct an ARM-approved research program focused on the SGP site and designed to further the objectives of the ARM Program; (5) participate as a full member of the ARM Science Team; and (6) direct an educational outreach program designed to interest pre-college and undergraduate students, as well as graduate students, in scientific and technical disciplines.

Scientists use measurements and value-added products obtained from the SGP to improve cloud and radiative models and parameterizations and, thereby, the performance of atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs) used for climate research. Thus, we must ensure that these measurements are of the highest quality and are made with the most precise techniques available.
