The archive acquires, curates, preserves and disseminates an extensive list of over 700 data sets. Registration is free and open to the general public. Nearly all of the datasets are free to all registered users; a few are restricted to certain users (e.g. university researchers). In addition, the catalog shows data sets available in these ...
The data is available for free download from the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory [1] and NCEP. [2] It is distributed in Netcdf and GRIB files, for which a number of tools and libraries exist. It is available for download through the NCAR CISL Research Data Archive on the NCEP/NCAR Reanalysis main data page. [3]
To address a growing need for remote access to high volume numerical weather prediction and global climate models and data, the National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), along with the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) and the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL), initiated the NOAA Operational Model Archive and Distribution System (NOMADS) project.
EOL manages and operates NCAR's lower atmosphere observing systems, including ground-based instrumentation and two research aircraft, on behalf of the NSF. High Altitude Observatory (HAO)—The oldest part of NCAR, HAO is NCAR's solar-terrestrial physics laboratory. Research foci are the Sun and the Earth's upper atmosphere.
NCAR develops data products and services that address the future challenges of data growth, preservation, and management. The Research Data Archive [64] (RDA) contains a large collection of meteorological and oceanographic datasets that support scientific studies in climate, weather, hydrology, Earth system modeling, and other related sciences ...
The MM5 (short for Fifth-Generation Penn State/NCAR Mesoscale Model) is a regional mesoscale model used for creating weather forecasts and climate projections. It is a community model maintained by Penn State University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research .
The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) is a laboratory of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). [1] HAO operates the Mauna Loa Solar Observatory on Hawaii and a research institute in Boulder, Colorado. Its staff conduct research and provide support and facilities for the solar-terrestrial physics research community.
The organization has a total of 1,390 staff, including 877 at NCAR and 282 engaged in community programs. Total expenditures for fiscal year 2015 (October 2014–September 2015) were approximately $204.2 million. [3] UCAR and NCAR are headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, spread across four campuses. Ancillary activities take place in Cheyenne ...
