The mission of the ARM Aerial Facility is to provide aerial observations that enhance the understanding of atmospheric processes by offering a vertical and spatial perspective not available through ground-based or satellite methods alone. This includes collecting data on cloud microphysics, aerosol properties, and radiative fluxes to support climate modeling, satellite validation, and the study of atmospheric phenomena{{ | The mission of the ARM Aerial Facility is to provide aerial observations that enhance the understanding of atmospheric processes by offering a vertical and spatial perspective not available through ground-based or satellite methods alone.
