Summary: The contract between UCAR and NSF for the operation of NCAR calls for the production of a report containing a description of all programs conducted by NCAR staff and NCAR visitors during the previous year. This report will include a description of scientific and facility activities, accomplishments, and a listing of papers published.Summary: Important themes of the past year are 1) continuing intensity of NCAR's research interactions with the atmospheric sciences community; 2) scientific advances realized in some of the most important and intriguing problems in atmospheric science, including the climatic effects of the El Nino phenomenon, in-cloud processes that lead to the formation of acid rain, the manner in which regions prone to tornado formation can be modeled, and new insights into the behavior of ocean circulations and into the differential rotation of the sun; 3) facility resources available to the community, including a second CRAY-1A computer, extension of interactive remote access to NCAR's computing systems, the second-generation portable automated mesonet, the inauguration of service of two King Air aircraft (the second leased from the University of Wyoming), and the production of a new version of the NCAR community climate model, now used by more than 20 university research groups.

The contract between UCAR and NSF for the operation of NCAR calls for the production of a report containing a description of all programs conducted by NCAR staff and NCAR visitors during the previous year. This report will include a description of scientific and facility activities, accomplishments, and a listing of papers published.

Important themes of the past year are 1) continuing intensity of NCAR's research interactions with the atmospheric sciences community; 2) scientific advances realized in some of the most important and intriguing problems in atmospheric science, including the climatic effects of the El Nino phenomenon, in-cloud processes that lead to the formation of acid rain, the manner in which regions prone to tornado formation can be modeled, and new insights into the behavior of ocean circulations and into the differential rotation of the sun; 3) facility resources available to the community, including a second CRAY-1A computer, extension of interactive remote access to NCAR's computing systems, the second-generation portable automated mesonet, the inauguration of service of two King Air aircraft (the second leased from the University of Wyoming), and the production of a new version of the NCAR community climate model, now used by more than 20 university research groups.
