of three months to one year; preference is given to early career faculty
and those at UCAR member universities and academic affiliates. Students
(undergraduate, graduate) or postdoctoral fellows may accompany the faculty
member for part or all of the visit. NCAR staff may also apply to visit

HAO Scientific
Visitors Program
NCAR/ESSL High Altitude Observatory
HAO research spans the solar interior, atmosphere, corona and heliosphere,
plus Earth's atmosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere, as well as those

radiation hydrodynamics, and plasma physics are pursued both for their
fundamental physical interest and for their applications to these research
areas. Participants collaborate with members of the HAO scientific staff
and other long-term visitors on these topics during visits lasting from
a few days to a year.
