For scientists and professionals

Junior Faculty Forum on Future Scientific Directions
NCAR Advanced Study Program and Early Career Scientists Assembly
This annual summer gathering brings together junior faculty and early career scientists at NCAR for three days to discuss selected topics in the geosciences. Open to nontenured faculty at U.S. universities with preference given to those within five years of their first professorial academic appointment. Topic proposals are solicited several months in advance.

Community Climate System Model - CCSM Annual Workshop
CCSM Steering Committee
The annual CCSM workshop features meetings and presentations involving the component working groups during three summer days in Breckenridge, Colorado. Live webcasts, when available, enable remote participants to attend.

GPS Meteorology and Ionospheric Science - COSMIC Meetings and Workshops
UCAR Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere and Climate
COSMIC organizes semiannual science meetings, data users' workshops, and student gatherings in the United States and internationally to share results and plan collaborations based on COSMIC/FORMOSAT-3 satellite data as well as ground-based GPS projects. Researchers also host events during meetings of the professional societies. Check the COSMIC website for upcoming professional and student opportunities.

Observing the Atmosphere - Facilities Workshops
NCAR Earth Observing Laboratory
EOL hosts a variety of workshops for the university atmospheric and geosciences community, including the NSF Facilities Users' Workshop, the International Symposium on Tropospheric Profiling, the AVAPS Dropsonde Users Group Workshop, and more. Check EOL's workshop website for upcoming opportunities.

Using Streaming Geoscience Data in Classrooms and Labs
UCAR Unidata Program Center

Unidata Training Workshops
Software training workshops focus on Unidata's data management, display, and analysis tools. The training workshops are developed and presented by the software developers and support staff for each package. The analysis and display packages are McIDAS, GEMPAK, and IDV. The data access and management tools are the Local Data Manager (LDM), the network Common Data Form (netCDF), and THREDDS software for cataloging, browsing, and accessing remote data and metadata.

Unidata Users Workshop
The Users Workshop takes place over five days, every three years, to introduce new topics, such as operational and experimental observations in geoscience education. Workshop themes originate in Unidata's Users Committee and focus on concepts or tools for education or research or both. Lectures by experts and hands-on lab instruction create a relaxed, active learning atmosphere among peers.

Weather Research and Forecasting Model - Annual WRF Users' Workshop
WRF Workshop Planning Committee
This weeklong summer meeting in Boulder focuses on WRF model development and testing. The call for papers typically includes topics such as model numerics and physics, model verification, regional climate, hurricanes and other high-impact weather, data assimilation, ensemble forecasting, and atmospheric chemistry.

FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Meetings and Workshops
UCAR Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate
Each year brings a variety of meetings and workshops on GPS radio occulation, ground sensing, and related topics. In addition to data users workshops, themes may include applications to global weather forecasting, climate topics, and structure of the ionosphere.
