UCAR's suite of offerings extends the science done at NSF NCAR and supports the broader Earth system science community.
These programs range from ready-made activities science teachers can use in their classrooms to real-time delivery of critical weather data. They include programs that support early career scientists from underrepresented communities as well as online training for land managers in wildfire behavior and just about everything in between.
We offer seven distinct programs that have been shaped to meet our community's research, operations, and education needs.
Scientifically relevant, instructionally progressive education, training, and capacity development for the environmental sciences, including online self-guided instruction, tailored classroom experiences, and specialized hazard communication programs
A constellation of mini-satellites that use existing GPS signals to make innovative observations of the atmosphere
An extensive portfolio of organization and management services, including professional development, comprehensive event planning and management, scientific program management, and more
The Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation is committed to improving and accelerating the quantitative use of research and operational satellite data in weather, ocean, climate, and environmental analysis and prediction systems.
Resources for students, teachers, and the public that connect NSF NCAR science to diverse learners, creating pathways toward a scientifically literate society
Geoscience data services; tools for data access, analysis, and visualization; and support to extend the research and education capabilities of a worldwide community
NSF NCAR provides a spectrum of resources for the Earth system science community, from research aircraft and field campaign support to community models and supercomputing resources.
