AGU Poster Hall
Scientists with the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) will make dozens of presentations at the fall meeting of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) during the week of December 12–16.
Map: CESM forecast for last quarter of 2016
An NCAR-based computer model known for global climate projections decades into the future recently joined a suite of other world-class models being used to forecast what may lie just a few months ahead.
We've assembled some of our favorite stories from across NCAR and UCAR over the last 12 months.
2015 wildfires in Sumatra, as seen from space
Wildfires in Indonesia and Borneo exposed 69 million people to unhealthy air pollution, new research has shown.
Atmospheric Rivers: ocean map shows Pineapple Express pattern
A high-resolution climate model based at NCAR is able to accurately capture the ribbons of moist air that sometimes escape the sodden tropics and flow toward the drier mid-latitudes, allowing scientists to investigate how "atmospheric rivers" may change as the climate warms.
Image of 1966 solar eclipse from Bolivia
On Nov. 12, 1966, NCAR researchers used an innovative new camera to snap the finest picture of the solar corona ever taken up to the time.
