EOL in the News

Read stories and articles about the incredible work by EOL staff and our suite of requestable Lower Atmosphere Observing Facilities (LAOF).

Transforming Severe Weather Forecasting

An innovative weather instrument developed at the U.S. National Science Foundation National Center for Atmospheric Research (NSF NCAR) could be a solution for improving severe weather prediction. 

Science expeditions in snow, hail and air pollution

NSF Stories showcases several research campaigns supported by our NSF NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory facilities. The Data Management team is contributing to all three campaigns (S2noCliME, ICECHIP, and GOTHAAM), with RAF additionally supporting the GOTHAAM campaign.

50 years of falling

Celebrating 50 Years of Innovation in Weather Science!  

In 1974, a transformation in atmospheric research was born at NSF NCAR with the invention of the wind-finding Dropsonde. Since its first deployment during the GATE field campaign, this technology has transformed our understanding of severe weather systems. For five decades, Dropsondes have been pivotal in hurricane monitoring, tracking atmospheric rivers, and other vital meteorological research.

NSF Facility and Instrumentation Request Process (FIRP)

The Facility and Instrumentation Request Process (FIRP) solicitation describes the mechanism by which the research community can propose projects that require access to facilities and instrumentation sponsored by the Facilities for Atmospheric Research and Education (FARE) Program in the Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences (AGS).  Specialized FARE instrumentation and facilities include the Lower Atmosphere Observing Facilities (LAOF) and the Community Instruments and Facilities (CIF).  For more information, please contact Nick Anderson, NSF Program Director  (AGS-PDM@nsf.gov).
