Abstract

Recommendations are presented regarding the composition and accessibility of the Facilities for Atmospheric Research and Education (FARE), funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF). The FARE program broadens access to specialized facilities including research aircraft, advanced instrumentation, laboratories, and field support services to enable observationally focused atmospheric research. The FARE program includes the long-established Lower Atmosphere Observing Facilities (LAOF) and the more recent Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF). The recommendations presented herein result from a 2023 NSF-sponsored FARE Users Workshop that addressed FARE’s accessibility and future.
