The SGP was established in 1992 to make long-term measurements of atmospheric and radiational quantities important to studies of climate change and to climate modelers. It is one of four sites established by the DoE for this purpose. The SGP has grown over the years to encompass many functions and is a mature site with complete calibration and repair facilities, sophisticated instrumentation, and comprehensive guest facilities for visiting scientists and their instruments. The site’s instrument suite includes a Raman Lidar, a Ka-band cloud radar, radiometers of all sizes and purposes, GPS networks for water vapor tomography, experimental instrumentation, profilers, aerosol sampling– in short, something for just about everyone. In addition, the site’s data is easily and freely available from the ARM Data Archive at Oak Ridge, TN.
