Alaska is among the fastest-warming places on Earth, with its interior region warming the most statewide. A study by NCAR’s Shannon McNeeley looks at the vulnerability to climate change of native rural communities.

Cities worldwide are failing to take necessary steps to protect their residents from the likely impacts of climate change.

A case study from NCAR looks at how coastal residents assessed their risks and made decisions leading up to Hurricane Ike.

Last year, a team of NCAR scientists verified that the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF) can be used to depict seasonal snowfall in Colorado with a high degree of accuracy. Now the team is using WRF to forecast future snowfall.

A new NCAR study compares two different methods for forecasting power production at wind farms: turbine-based versus farm-based.

Geoengineering our climate system to ward off the effects of global warming may end up cooling the tropics to below present-day levels.

Intrigued by an atmospheric mystery bringing down aircraft, a small group of scientists at NCAR embarked on a series of field studies from the late 1970s through the 1980s.

A team of NCAR scientists is studying how advanced satellite technology that measures lightning could help protect aircraft from turbulence caused by severe weather.

A turbulence warning system alerting pilots landing at and departing from Juneau International Airport in southeast Alaska has taken a significant step toward completion with the integration of Federal Aviation Administration radio communications into the system.
