Title: Advanced Study Program

URL: http://www.asp.ucar.edu/

Description: The ASP mission, broadly defined, is to help NCAR and the scientific communities it serves prepare for the future. We work across scientific disciplines in support of other NCAR units with these objectives: to encourage the development of early career scientists in fields related to atmospheric science; to direct attention to timely scientific areas needing special emphasis; to help organize new science initiatives; to support interactions with universities; to promote continuing education at NCAR.

URL: http://waccm.acd.ucar.edu/

Description: The Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model (WACCM) is a comprehensive numerical model, spanning the range of altitude from the Earth's surface to the thermosphere. The development of WACCM is an inter-divisional collaboration that unifies certain aspects of the upper atmospheric modeling of HAO, the middle atmosphere modeling of ACD, and the tropospheric modeling of CGD, using the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM) as a common numerical framework.

Description: The TOPSE investigation combined model studies and simulations with a set of chemical and photochemical measurements taken over the critical winter-spring transition in the northern mid-to-high latitude troposphere. The overall goal of the experiment was to investigate the chemical and dynamic evolution of tropospheric chemical composition over mid- to high-latitude continental North America during the winter/spring transition; a particular emphasis was placed on the springtime ozone maximum in the troposphere. As the experiment progressed additional effort was used to investigate dramatic ozone depletion events found over large regions of the Arctic surface layer. The Tropospheric Ozone Production about the Spring Equinox took place in 2000 in Colorado, Greenland, and Manitoba.

Title: TIMED (Thermosphere, Ionosphere, Mesosphere, Energetics and Dynamics)Mission at HAO/NCAR

URL: http://timed.hao.ucar.edu/

Description: The Thermosphere-Ionosphere-Mesosphere Energetics and Dynamics (TIMED) satellite is a NASA Heliophysics mission to study the mesosphere and lower thermosphere from about 60 to 180 km altitude, and understand how solar variability and lower atmosphere processes combine to make this one of the most dynamic and variable regions of the terrestrial atmosphere.

URL: http://timed.acd.ucar.edu/

Description: ACD Scientists use TIMED observations along with a hierarchy of numerical models to investigate the global environment in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere (MLT) region. Particular emphasis is placed on the region's composition and chemistry and their impact on the energetics. The models are used to attempt to reproduce the observations, to conduct sensitivity tests to answer scientific questions, and to produce realistic simulations of fields that are not measured or only partially measured by TIMED. A combination of mechanistic models and Global Climate Models (GCMs) are used depending on the type of investigation and length of model integration. They are somewhat modular so that addition or modification of selected physical or chemical processes is facilitated.
