UCAR, NCAR, and UOP are part of a collaborative community dedicated to understanding the atmosphere?the air around us?and the interconnected processes that make up the Earth system, from the ocean floor to the Sun's core.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research and the UCAR Office of Programs provide research, facilities, and services for the atmospheric and Earth sciences community. NCAR and UOP are managed by the nonprofit University Corporation for Atmospheric Research.
