The 2020 American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting is taking place from 12–16 January 2020, in Boston, Massachusetts. Visit EOL @ AMS to see the list of presentations, sessions, and activities with which EOL staff are involved. We look forward to meeting with you at the various events throughout the week.
Large Field Campaign: 15 January 2020
Scientific Program Overviews (SPO) and Experimental Design Overviews (EDO) to request LAOF for large field campaigns tentatively scheduled between 1 October 2021 and September 2022 are due no later than 15 January 2020. The SPO has to be submitted to NSF via Fastlane while the EDO has to be submitted through the new Project Requests Online (PRESTO) platform. For more information, please see the LAOF request webpage.

EOL is pleased to announce the publication of a new module, Instrumentation and Measurement of Atmospheric Trace Gases. This module offers a detailed overview of the instrumentation used to measure atmospheric trace gases, represented by various chemical compounds in Earth's atmosphere. The content focuses on three analytical approaches, including spectrometric methods, chromatographic methods, and chemical conversion methods.
The NCAR / EOL Community Workshop on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Atmospheric Research was held in February 2017 and brought together over 100 participants interested in the role of UAS in atmospheric science. The Final Report is now available and contains recommendations that emphasize the need for wide-ranging community support and address topics such as expert teams and workshops, community platforms, dedicated instrumentation and platform validation opportunities, weather forecasting and support in working within the aviation regulatory framework.
The Community Workshop on Developing Requirements for In Situ and Remote-Sensing Capabilities in Convective and Turbulent Environments (C-RITE) was carried out by over 100 participants to assist the National Science Foundation in defining next-generation technologies and observing capabilities best suited for studying convection and turbulence in the atmosphere. The C-RITE Workshop Final Report is now available containing recommendations addressing improvements to existing facilities, urgently needed new facilities, and desired new observing systems.
Due to programmatic changes within the National Science Foundation (NSF), as of 1 August 2018 the Time-of-Flight Aerosol Mass Spectrometer (ToF-AMS) and Quantum Cascade Laser Spectrometer (QCLS) HAIS instruments are no longer requestable through the NSF Lower Atmosphere Observing Facilities Deployment Pool. Please contact the RAF science and instrumentation group lead for more information on accessing these facilities.
