M. Pei-designed Mesa Laboratory headquarters in Boulder, Colorado. Studies include meteorology, climate science, atmospheric chemistry, solar-terrestrial interactions, environmental and societal impacts. Tools and technologiesNCAR provides a broad array of tools and technologies to the scientific community for studying Earth’s atmosphere, including,[3][4]
Staffing areas and notable past and present scientistsThe center is staffed by scientists, engineers, technicians, and support personnel.[2] Key research areas include [6]
Notable scientists on the current staff at the center include Tom Wigley, Kevin Trenberth, and Caspar Ammann,[7]{{better source|date=June 2014}} and in past have included Paul Crutzen (Nobel Prize in chemistry, 1995); Paul Julian, who with colleague Roland Madden discovered the Madden–Julian oscillation; Stephen Schneider . Greg Holland initiated the multiscale modeling project "Predicting the Earth System Across Scales".[8] Organization of research—laboratories and programsNCAR is currently organized into seven laboratories and two programs:[9] Laboratories
NCAR's service to the universities and larger geosciences community is reinforced by the offerings of UCAR's community programs.[11][12] Funding and managementNCAR is managed by the nonprofit UCAR and is one of the NSF's Federally Funded Research and Development Centers, with approximately 95% of its funding coming from the federal government. However, it is not a federal agency and its employees are not part of the federal personnel system.[1] NCAR employs about 761 staff. Its annual expenditures in fiscal year 2015 were $167.8 million.[1][13] NCAR DirectorsThe founding director of NCAR was Walter Orr Roberts.[14] The current director is Everette Joseph[15].[2]
VisitingScientific visitorsNCAR has many opportunities for scientific visits to the facilities for workshops, colloquia, and collaboration by colleagues in academia, government labs, and the private sector.[16] Many NCAR staff also visit colleagues at universities and labs and serve as adjunct or visiting faculty.[17][16] Public toursThe Visitor Center at the Mesa Laboratory is open to the public daily at no charge. Guided tours and self-guided tablet tours include video and audio on one of the first supercomputers built by Seymour Cray as well as NCAR's modern supercomputer fleet, many hands-on educational exhibits demonstrating weather phenomena and Earth's changing climate, and a scenic outdoor weather trail.
