NCAR

NCAR, or the National Center for Atmospheric Research, is a research organization dedicated to studying the Earth's atmosphere, weather, and climate. It conducts scientific investigations to better understand weather patterns, climate change, and atmospheric phenomena, providing valuable insights to improve weather forecasting and environmental decision-making. Supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation, NCAR collaborates with scientists worldwide, developing advanced computer models and observational tools. Its work helps us understand how the atmosphere works and supports efforts to address environmental challenges and protect communities from severe weather events.
