“The transfer of research to applications is a fundamental aspect of NCAR’s mission. Basic research has always been at the core of activities that take place within the university community and NCAR. However, weather and climate impact people’s lives in profound ways, so it is both exciting and necessary that much of our work in atmospheric sciences has direct applications to society." - Roger Wakimoto, NCAR
