We’re looking for community input! During the last two weeks of April, we are hosting AI Community Engagement Workshops, seeking input on AI and machine learning in Earth system science. There will be twelve 90-minute sessions on six topics. ⏰ Register by 5p.m. MT tomorrow https://bit.ly/4te00ht

Last call for abstracts!🚨 From June 22-26, the Joint MPAS/WRF Users Workshop will be held at UCAR Center Green campus in Boulder, CO, and online. The workshop will host poster presentations, tutorials, virtual presentations, short lectures, and more. 🧵

Let’s explore machine learning and subseasonal forecasting! In Tuesday's virtual Explorer Series conversation, Kirsten Mayer discusses how NSF NCAR scientists use machine learning to uncover what conditions make long range forecasts more accurate. Details: https://bit.ly/48tYsr5

Better forecasts for pilots, safer travels for you ✈️ The new Domestic Aviation Forecast System, developed w/ NOAA, is an integrated suite of hi-res forecasts for icing and turbulence risk, giving pilots intel in real-time about weather conditions along the flight path. https://bit.ly/4t5VVMa

In Wednesday's Explorer Series lecture, NSF NCAR’s Mariana Cains explores how convergence research and AI can help researchers address societal needs and hazardous weather for myriad situations. Join us on Wednesday, April 8, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Mesa Lab and online. https://bit.ly/4trxVCV

UCAR has named Eric Barron as interim president, succeeding Antonio Busalacchi, who will become president emeritus before retiring in June. Barron previously served UCAR for 12 years on the UCAR Board of Trustees. He has also spent time at NSF NCAR as a postdoc, scientist & director from 2008-10.

We’re not foolin’ you! The Mauna Loa Solar Observatory (MLSO) has officially reopened in time to assist NASA’s Artemis II mission with space weather warnings! It has been closed since Mauna Loa’s 2022 eruption blocked the road, making the site accessible only by helicopter for special operations.

In the upcoming Explorer Series lecture, NSF NCAR’s Mariana Cains explores how convergence research and AI can help researchers address societal needs and hazardous weather for myriad situations. Join us on Wednesday, April 8, from 7-8:30 p.m. at the Mesa Lab and online. https://bit.ly/4cgnQTm

For National AI Literacy Day, NCAR CISL scientists will discuss AI machine learning models & visualizations along w/ emerging opportunities & challenges of AI application in Earth system science. Join us virtually on Friday, March 27, at 11 AM MDT. https://bit.ly/4bPLAMR

From chasing eclipses to improving space weather forecasts and everything in between, NSF NCAR is committed to producing valuable solar and space weather research to benefit both the scientific community and society at large. 🧵

When wildfires start & spread, first responders need accurate+detailed predictions to make critical safety decisions. Our scientists built state-of-the-art, hi-res behavior models that connect the wildfire conditions & current weather to help responders keep communities safe. https://bit.ly/4rhQqbn

Buds begin to bloom, snow slowly melts; it’s the beginning of meteorological spring! March marks the shift from meteorological winter into spring, covering March, April & May. Meteorological seasons follow temperature trends & weather patterns instead of astronomical movements. 📊: @noaa.gov !

Space may seem far away, but space weather can have big impacts on our technology-dependent lives here on Earth. 🛰️ Check out this sneak peek of next week’s NSF NCAR Explorer Series that will discuss this fascinating and important topic. Learn more: https://edec.ucar.edu/events/space-debris

To prevent collisions of satellites and other "space junk," we need to predict the weather in space, just like we predict the weather on Earth. Join the NSF NCAR Explorer Series (virtually or in-person) to learn more about how researchers do that: https://edec.ucar.edu/events/space-debris

NSF NCAR and @swri.org researchers have created an AI-enabled forecasting tool that is a first step toward forecasting space weather weeks in advance, instead of just hours. Learn more: https://news.ucar.edu/133059/new-research-takes-first-step-toward-advance-warnings-space-weather

Our researchers have compiled the first nationwide inventory of emissions from structure fires in the wildland-urban interface. The inventory lays the groundwork for communities to be more prepared for and resilient to the impacts of smoke. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rOBgeu

The NSF NCAR Dropsonde program was established in 1965! Initially released over storm cells in Colorado, dropsondes are now a key component of meteorological forecasting & research, dropped into storms to share data with researchers. https://www.archives.ucar.edu/exhibits/ncar-timeline

Mark your calendars for an in-person Explorer Series event at Bambei Brewing on February 17th. Come listen to Dr. Brittany Welch talk about how NSF NCAR research can keep cars, trucks, and drones safe in hazardous weather. No registration required. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4kmIt2V

We’ve got a new dataset that’s hi-res and research ready: MESACLIP. Researchers used two supercomputers to create the MESACLIP dataset which features the Earth system in unprecedented detail, including snow cover and sea surface temperatures. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rBK9bg

NSF NCAR researchers will go to the ends of the Earth to collect data. The SCARGO project is wraps up this week, but for the last couple of months, the SCARGO instrument has been hitching a ride on flights to the South Pole to collect data on the Southern Ocean. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4auVMLB
