NSF NCAR EOL is supporting a pioneering research effort to make first-ever direct measurements of how thunderstorms generate gravity waves that propagate into the stratosphere
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.
CAESAR was an international field campaign to study the structure of marine boundary layer clouds during CAOs in the Sub-Arctic Region. This region is experiencing drastic effects of global warming and sea ice loss, and yet, the connection between high- and mid-latitudes and their effect on global climate is not well understood. CAESAR deployed from Kiruna, Sweden and reached the Arctic sea ice edge using the NSF NCAR C-130 to track the evolution of the cloudy boundary layer using state-of-the-art instrumentation.
