Building Bridges: NSF NCAR and EKO Instruments Partner on Lidar Technology
Fukue Island, strategically located upwind of Kyushu's vulnerable river basins, served as a stepping stone for an ongoing US-Japan technology transfer effort led by NSF NCAR. For the past three months, EOL deployed one of its advanced MicroPulse DIALs in partnership with EKO Instruments, demonstrating how cutting-edge research tools can be refined for real-time storm prediction and transitioned toward broad operational use.

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).
