Three states are deploying snowplows this winter with custom-designed sensors to better monitor weather and road conditions.

Drier ski slopes, reduced river flows, and increased wildfires can potentially discourage tourists from coming to Colorado. Should local officials and business leaders do more to plan for these impacts?

The custom forecasting systems are designed to increase the reliability of solar and wind energy.

If predicting snow is a tough business, measuring it is no piece of cake either.

NCAR is spearheading a nationwide project to create unprecedented 36-hour forecasts of incoming energy from the Sun for solar energy power plants.

New research points to gravity waves, which ripple unseen through the atmosphere, as the culprit in many cases of clear-air turbulence. If those waves can be forecast, the research suggests that planes in many cases could be rerouted around them.
