Took the kids up to #NCAR today. Best interactive exhibits I’ve ever played with. Completely free.
And this mom has been taking her kids to science museums for 25 years…
A screenshot of NCAR's Java METAR viewer running in Internet Explorer 6. A line-drawing map of North America centered on the US is shown, populated with real-time weather observation data. A caption at the bottom of the map shows that the data is current as of March 24, 2026 at 0845 UTC.
I've taken a crack at preserving #NCAR 's Java METAR viewer, which is miraculously still up-and-running after all these years. Some reverse engineering of how it ingests data is probably still needed.

Straight to the point and, while not likely to sway Trump's stooges from damaging #NCAR, @agu.org's challenge might at least make their dissembling more public ...
"AGU urges the NSF to ... ask a more fundamental question: What problem, precisely, is this restructuring intended to solve?"
Since 1960 #NCAR has made forecasting severe damaging weather possible, & CO official (where it is located) & scientists (#NationalScienceFoundation NSF funds NCAR) are trying to save its work, albeit by breaking it up. NSF is trying to distribute components to various other sites.
CU #Boulder proposes taking over #NCAR with partner universities if the lab is broken up #Colorado #copolitics #noco
CU #Boulder proposes replacing UCAR to run #NCAR with partner universities if the lab is broken up, outlining a new consortium with Oklahoma and Wyoming to take over its core operations and keep it anchored in Boulder. Part of BRL’s in-depth NCAR coverage: boulderreportinglab.org/2026/03/19/c...

@agu.org has posted a response to #NSF’s “Dear Colleague Letter” about the future of #NCAR, urging the agency “to reconsider the assumptions underlying” its plan to dismantle the research institution. thebridge.agu.org/2026/03/17/a...

When reality fails to conform to one's prejudices, cancel reality. Such is Trumpian science.

Perhaps greater scientific minds than mine made impassioned proposals that will stop the dismantling of #NCAR in Boulder… here’s why it’s important to me, and to pilots, and to the community at large. #weather #aviation

Update. The #Trump plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (#NCAR) are proceeding.

NEW — Final push to save #NCAR: Neguse and #Boulder County submitted comments opposing plans to break up the Boulder climate lab, warning dismantling the research center could weaken U.S. weather forecasting. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/03/13/n...
This will set back American science for a generation or more and put our national security at risk. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/c... #science #climatescience #ncar

A rainbow stretches above NCAR and The Flatirons in Boulder, Colorado, with sun on the mountains, hills, and pine trees below and blue sky above.
I've been scrambling since I took this yesterday morning, but it's too nice a photo not to post it. #Boulder #COWX #NCAR #TheFlatirons
Fallout from dismantling #NCAR is a concrete consequence of #censorship. Come to the #DefendResearch March 5th webinar with @ninajankowicz.com of the American Sunlight Project to find out how we can push back on these assaults on our society! #SciSky www.defendresearch.org/events/webin...
The Fire Watch map today is insane. It is February people and the entire southern US is on fire. Need more evidence climate change is real? Save #NCAR
As your constituent, @neguse.house.gov - I am pretty peeved this is what is happening in DC. How about we talk about holding those accountable being unmasked by the #EpsteinFiles to start? Or getting our #TariffRelief? Or putting money into #Science and #NCAR? How about rooting out #corruption?
Protect NCAR. Your life could depend on their highest quality. This is a world class institution. #NCAR
