  NCAR - About
NCAR, one participant said, "was a unique opportunity for people to go listen to people who had obviously been successful." The early NCARs established standards that are still evident today.
NCAR provides members of four sectors - government, industry, academia, and nonprofit - with an arena in which to learn about managing research activities while at the same time meeting the people who know what work is being done as well as how to make it come to fruition.
NCAR is "a platform at which people from government, industry, and universities could discuss common problems and cooperatively assist in their solution."

 NCAR Information
In its place, NCAR developed a Community Climate Model (CCM), intended to serve not only modelers working at NCAR, but the large constituency of affiliated universities associated with NCAR's parent organization, the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.
The NCAR CCM series of models was especially important because of the relatively large community of researchers who were able to use it.
This model's guiding purpose was "NCAR's decision to utilize the same basic code for global forecast studies (both medium- and long-range) and for climate simulation.

 Abrupt Ice Retreat Could Produce Ice-Free Arctic Summers by 2040 - News Release
BOULDER—The recent retreat of Arctic sea ice is likely to accelerate so rapidly that the Arctic Ocean could become nearly devoid of ice during summertime as early as 2040, according to new research published in the December 12 issue of Geophysical Research Letters.
The study, by a team of scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the University of Washington, and McGill University, analyzes the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the Arctic.
Scenarios run on supercomputers show that the extent of sea ice each September could be reduced so abruptly that, within about 20 years, it may begin retreating four times faster than at any time in the observed record.

 EO News: NCAR Computer Modelers to Use New Powerful Linux System - June 24, 2004
The system will allow NCAR’s major community modelers to build, test, and evaluate their codes in a production computing environment and on systems that are similar to those now available in the university community.
NCAR’s Scientific Computing Division (SCD) will manage and operate the system and, in partnership with key NCAR climate and weather modelers, rigorously evaluate its suitability as an additional computing resource to be made available to the larger modeling community.
Since many of these models are distributed to universities with Linux-based systems on their campuses, the testing and development of such models on a similar system at NCAR will greatly accelerate the transition of these major models into the community.
