- Who we are | National Center for Atmospheric Research
NSF NCAR was established by the U S National Science Foundation in 1960 to provide the university community with world-class facilities and services that were beyond the reach of any individual institution More than a half-century later, we are still delivering on that mission NSF NCAR provides the atmospheric and related Earth system science community with state-of-the-art resources
- Data services | National Center for Atmospheric Research
You can't do science if you don't have data We have loads of data that we make accessible to the Earth system science community, from observations taken during NSF NCAR-supported field campaigns to images of the Sun's corona, and everything in between We also have tools and resources to help you understand the strengths, limitations, and applications of the data as well as software to help
- data assimilation - National Center for Atmospheric Research
Data assimilation We know that cutting-edge model forecasts require cutting-edge data assimilation techniques, and as we push the boundaries of what's possible to predict, from longer lead times for hurricane tracks to decadal-scale changes in sea ice, data assimilation is only becoming more important NSF NCAR data assimilation activities include the development and support of sophisticated
- Where we focus | National Center for Atmospheric Research
NSF NCAR studies the atmosphere, of course But that's just the start The hundreds of scientists who work here research all things atmospheric — which includes everything from the microphysics of cloud formation and the chemistry of air pollution to large-scale planetary waves and the impact of increased greenhouse gases on our climate Since the atmosphere interacts with everything it
- What we offer | National Center for Atmospheric Research
We don't just produce world-class research We enable others to do their best research, too From its founding, NSF NCAR was meant to provide the atmospheric research community with the shared resources necessary to work on the most important scientific problems of the day Not much has changed Today, NSF NCAR provides scientists across the United States — and the globe — with a host of
- NSF NCAR Strategic Plan 2025-2029 - National Center for Atmospheric . . .
Today, we stand at a pivotal moment in the history of Earth system science Society is routinely experiencing larger wildfires, more intense storms, deepening droughts, devastating floods, and more acute air pollution — along with the continued threat of solar storms — all of which threaten national security, lives, and livelihoods People across our country want to understand the risk
- Staff | National Center for Atmospheric Research
Our scientists, engineers, and support staff work together toward a common goal: deepening our scientific understanding for the betterment of society Our staff build state-of-the-art computer models, outfit research aircraft, fabricate precise observing instruments, curate reams of data, facilitate workshops for the broader community, publish widely in our scientific disciplines, and more
