NCAR Scientific Instruments From the Past

The NCAR Library is pleased to present a display of scientific instruments which facilitated the discovery and advancement of NCAR’s atmospheric science research. Many of these items, dated from the 1970's, were constructed by individual scientists themselves and served as prototypes for next-generation devices and measuring instruments. They represent a sampling of the entire collection preserved in the archives. For further information regarding these and other items, or if you have instruments that may fit within this collection, please contact Kate Legg at ext. 8508 or klegg@ucar.edu.
