Tools created by NSF NCAR provide cutting-edge weather and environmental intelligence, enabling precise atmospheric predictions, optimizing military testing, and enhancing safety in critical operations.
NSF NCAR tools give the Pentagon vital intelligence about weather and environmental conditions at any point on the globe, potentially aiding sensitive military operations.
Meteorological support infrastructure developed by NSF NCAR enables predictions of atmospheric conditions on scales less than a city block at Army test ranges, which allows the Army to evaluate the effectiveness of weapons systems in a broad range of atmospheric conditions and saves millions of dollars by minimizing last-minute test cancellations resulting from unfavorable weather.
NSF NCAR scientists have developed a system that uses machine learning to almost instantaneously locate the source of a toxic release into the atmosphere, protecting both civilians and troops from a dangerous plume.
