NCAR partners with the community to create software specially designed to support Earth system science. This gives scientists the platform they need to expand our understanding of the Earth, the skies, the weather, the wind, the clouds.… and to change the world. NCAR software packages are freely available—and free of charge—thanks to NCAR’s longtime commitment to the computing and scientific community.

The biennial International Computing in the Atmospheric Sciences (iCAS) Symposium brings together an international group of center directors and specialists from the atmospheric and related geosciences communities to discuss advances in the ever-changing computing landscape and the unique challenges facing centers that focus on climate and weather research and forecasting.
