UCAR Founded in 1960 by the university community to create, operate, and manage NCAR on behalf of NSF and the universities

UCAR at a Glance  A consortium of 75 North American universities (started with 14 universities)  50 years; ~1500 Staff ~240 PhD Scientists  Research, computational and observational facilities, huge data sets, high-end numerical models of the sun, atmosphere, oceans, coupled climate system.

The UCAR mission To serve and provide leadership to the atmospheric science and related communities through research, computing and observational facilities, and education programs that contribute to the betterment of life on Earth.

atmospheric chemistry—such as the chemical structure of healthy and polluted air climate—including temperature, rainfall, winds, and extreme events over decades or centuries, from prehistoric times to the present and into the future weather ingredients—such as cloud physics, storm structure, and other keys to improved weather forecasting weather hazards to transportation—including detection and warning systems for turbulence and icing in the air and on the ground interactions between the Sun and Earth—including solar weather computer science innovation—for understanding and visualizing the whole Earth system the role of humanity in both creating change and responding to weather and climate NCAR’s Research Topics
