amf_black_forest: links to AMF (ARM Mobile Facility) data taken during the COPS Campaign

In March 2007, the third deployment of the ARM Mobile Facility (AMF) took place in the Black Forest region of Germany, where scientists studied rainfall resulting from atmospheric uplift (convection) in mountainous terrain, otherwise known as orographic precipitation. ARM Program scientists collaborated with researchers from the University of Hohenheim as part of the long-term Convective and Orographically Induced Precipitation Study (COPS). The AMF has been deployed in the village of Heselbach in the Murg Valley.

The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program was created in 1989 with funding from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). Sponsored by DOE's Office of Science and managed by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research, ARM is a multi-laboratory, interagency program, and is a key contributor to national and international research efforts related to global climate change. A primary objective of the program is improved scientific understanding of the fundamental physics related to interactions between clouds and radiative feedback processes in the atmosphere. ARM focuses on obtaining continuous field measurements and providing data products that promote the advancement of climate models.

于二零零七年三月，ARM 移动设施（AMF）的第三次部署在德国的黑森林地区进行，科学家们在此研究了由大气抬升（对流）引起的降雨，此现象亦被称为地形降水。作为长期对流与地形诱导降水研究（COPS）的一部分，ARM 程序的科学家与霍恩海姆大学的学者展开了合作。AMF 被部署在穆尔河谷的赫塞尔巴赫村。

大气辐射测量（ARM）计划于1989年成立，资金来源于美国能源部（DOE）。由能源部科学办公室赞助并管理生物与环境研究办公室，ARM 是一个多实验室、跨部门的计划，并为全球气候变化相关的国内外研究努力做出了关键贡献。该计划的主要目标是对云与大气辐射反馈过程之间相互作用的基本物理原理有更深入的科学理解。ARM 专注于获取连续的现场测量数据并提供促进气候模型进步的数据产品。
