Homeschool families, co-ops, and groups are invited to our first-of-its-kind event! Join us at the NSF NCAR Mesa Lab for a day of activities and fun.
Scientists are exploring how changes in the background ingredients for storms influence frequency and intensity of severe thunderstorms and their hazards. Changes in atmospheric temperature and humidity can help fuel severe storms bringing heavy rainfall, hail, strong winds, or tornadoes.
NSF Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (NSF SOARS) is an undergraduate-to-graduate bridge and career pathways program designed to promote and support research, mentoring, and community in the atmospheric and Earth system sciences.
