Day one of the 2022 Workshop in the books 🎉

Congrats to Steve Yeager for receiving the Distinguished Achievement Award and the co-winners Abigail Bodner & Inne Vanderkelen for receiving the Graduate Student Awards

See everyone again tomorrow for another full day of science!

Did you know there is a Regional Community Earth System Model?

R-CESM can be used as a regional dynamical downscaling tool for the global CESM solutions or/and as a standalone high-resolution regional coupled model.

2022 CESM Workshop Information about the 2022 CESM Workshop

A rise in pollutants from in the Pacific Northwest may have reversed a decade of clean air gains in the U.S. with a new peak of air pollution in August.

Western Wildfires Reverse U.S. Clean Air Gains A “new peak of air pollution” every August exposes as many as 130 million people to harmful chemicals

We took and put it head to head against Microsoft Azure using the NCAR + UCAR - Atmospheric & Earth System Science Cheyenne supercomputer to see how it performed on the cloud.

Soon enough, our wide community will be able to easily run CESM in the cloud.

NASA Planes Fly into Snowstorms to Study Snowfall The IMPACTS team is tracking storms across the Midwest and Eastern United States in two NASA planes equipped with scientific instruments to help understand the inner workings of winter storms as they form and develop.

Ever wonder what the polar vortex is?

Here is a look into how it affects winter weather:

What is the polar vortex? In-depth look at how it can affect winter weather in the US. The polar vortex is a gigantic, circular area of cold air high up in the atmosphere that typically spins over the North Pole (as its name suggests).
