NOAA and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR)offsite link acting on behalf of the National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR)offsite link signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) earlier this week to renew and expand a collaborative partnership between the two organizations. The MOU is designed to facilitate sharing research, tools and data by enabling scientists to more productively conduct research with each other.
NSF NCAR, which is a federally funded research and development center, provides the atmospheric and related Earth system science community with state-of-the-art resources. These resources include supercomputers, research aircraft, sophisticated computer models and extensive data sets.
“This agreement furthers our mutual mission that focuses on science that helps the nation be better prepared for extreme weather,” said NOAA Administrator Rick Spinrad, Ph.D. “Prioritizing areas of cooperative research and continuing to build on strong relationships enables our scientists to more effectively advance weather, water and climate knowledge.”
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) have announced the renewal and expansion of their partnership to advance research on extreme weather events.This collaboration will focus on improving our understanding of the causes and impacts of extreme weather, including hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, and droughts. By combining NOAA’s expertise in weather forecasting and data collection with UCAR’s cutting-edge research capabilities, the two organizations hope to develop new technologies and strategies to better predict and mitigate the effects of extreme weather.
The partnership will also provide opportunities for students and early career researchers to participate in groundbreaking research projects and gain valuable experience in the field of atmospheric science.
Overall, this renewed and expanded partnership between NOAA and UCAR represents a significant step forward in our efforts to better understand and prepare for the challenges posed by extreme weather events. Stay tuned for updates on the exciting developments that will result from this collaboration!
