  1. MyNCAR.org “Nuestra Casa es su Casa” Early Career Faculty Forum Tim Killeen NCAR Director June 2004

  2. Augmented program in development

  3. NCAR Internal Diversity Program 20% 11% Women comprise 12.5% of geoscience faculty in U.S. Colleges and Universities and only 10% in Ph.D.-granting universities (de Wet et al., GSA Today, 2002) 14% African-American, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans earn 5% of doctoral degrees in the geosciences (NSF/GEO Strategy for Diversity Program, 2001) Scientists (ladder track) at NCAR

  4. NCAR Supercomputing Capacity Bluesky has tripled NCAR’s computing capacity and is the 10th largest system in the world. BlackForest BlueSky

  5. ATD Facilities: Remote Sensing Instruments Scanning Aerosol Backscatter LIDAR Multichannel Cloud Radiometer GPS Dropsonde Airborne Imaging Microwave Radiometer

  6. HIAPER

  7. Simulation of Recent Climate

  8. Ü Develop an advanced mesoscale forecast and assimilation system Ü Accelerate the transfer of research advancements into operations 36 h Precip Forecast Analyzed Precip Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Community Model 12 May 2002 Significant Milestones: • Agreement signed by principal partners • NCAR, NOAA, FAA, AFWA, Navy • Early version of WRF in validation • >1000 registered community users • Download source code • Operational implementation at NCEP and AFWA in FY04

  9. WRF Model Numerics: Goal:Improve forecast accuracy using high-order numerics

  10. Strategic Initiative Funding (Cont.) * SCD Impact Assess. Computing excl. $500K DOE matching funds.

  11. Graduate Students at NCAR In 2002, ASP hosts 5graduate fellows and 43 graduate students 3 HAO Newkirk Fellows SOARS hosts 9 graduate students 2002 ASP Summer Colloquium “Interactions among Aerosols, Climate and the Hydrological Cycle” July 8-19

  12. Undergraduates at NCAR First annual NCAR Undergraduate Leadership Conference 16 students from 15 institutions In 2002, NCAR hosted 100 undergraduate students 52 Student Assistants 23 Student Visitors 15 SOARS Protégés

  13. SOARSProgram: Creates a direct pipeline to bring ethnically diverse undergraduate students into careers in the atmospheric and related sciences. Sponsors Include: NSF DOE Environmental Sciences Division NOAA Office of Global Programs and CU/Boulder CIRES NASA Goddard Space Flight Center UCAR Summer Protégés (2001) 21 participants

  14. K-12 Master Teachers at NCAR • First Annual NCAR Geoscience Educators Workshop • 170 applicants • 20 nationally recognized teachers for 2 weeks • Extensive participationby NCAR scientists

  15. NCAR Junior Faculty Fellowship and Exchange Program • To involve early-career faculty in research with NCAR scientists and in new initiatives • Begin in FY 2005 ($150k/year budgeted) • Support early-career faculty visits to NCAR, with students (typically for a few days to a few weeks) to: • Sample NCAR’s intellectual environment • Learn about & utilize NCAR resources • Develop collaborations with NCAR staff • Contribute to models & strategic initiatives

  16. Thank you!
