Alyssa Sockol

Alyssa works to help fulfill the main goal of the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility's Data Quality office (DQO), which is to keep an eye on all of ARM’s weather and climate data and make sure that it is of good quality. It is important to provide the most accurate, precise, and reliable data for scientific research. The DQO accomplishes this by writing code that processes the data collected from ARM instruments and creates corresponding plots and metrics in near-real time. This makes it much easier to identify when an instrument is broken and needs to be fixed.
