NCAR hosts many scientific visitors each year -- from short visits to extended collaborations, undergraduate interns to emminent scientists. The visitor, internship and workshop programs are run by each of the research or facilities groups, but usually involve very similar requirements, i.e. identifying an NCAR scientific 'host' or opportunity, and applying via the host-group's guidelines. For specific information on opportunities, please see the Visitors & Opportunities page.
NSF’s Lower Atmospheric Observing Facilities (LAOF) are available on a competitive basis to qualified researchers from universities, NCAR, and other government agencies. Facilities managed by NCAR's Earth Observing Laboratory include research aircraft, radars, and mobile and in situ measurement systems. EOL also provides field project management support for the research community. For more information, please see the NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory.
Whether you are a postdoctoral student wishing to enhance your studies at NCAR, a grad or undergrad student looking for internship opportunities, or a professional who desires to make your career here, NCAR has a lot to offer! Please visit our Visitors & Opportunities pages for more information. For current job listings, you may go directly to the Careers at UCAR website.
This figure shows a sample Fe I intensity image, with the locations of "corks" advected by the derived flow field overplotted as green dots. Locations of field concentrations are marked by red diamonds for positive polarity, and blue diamonds for negative polarity. The field concentrations appear to favor locations of high cork density.
