NSF NCAR CGD Laboratory

CGD Laboratory is part of the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research

Its mission is to:
1. Discover the key processes in each component of the Earth's system and the interactions among them
2. Represent this understanding in models and thereby provide a basis for prediction
3. Apply this understanding and these models to scientific problems of societal relevance

We fulfill our mission through a strong record of achievement in scientific research, community modeling and data set development. Our success is due in large measure to numerous collaborations with other NSF NCAR Laboratories, with the university community, with Government Laboratories, and increasingly with private industry. We are also very proud of our community service, leadership of national and international research programs, and educational and outreach activities.
