NCL Workshop, January 14-17, 2014

This web page was set up for students in the NCL workshop at the CTTC in Boulder, January 14-17, 2014.

We have a variety of scientific interests in this course, and thought it might be interesting to set up a page to showcase sample visualizations of users' datasets, and perhaps visualizations during the hands-on lab this week.

Types of data mentioned in workshop surveys

• CAM
• CMIP5
• Station
• PRISM
• WACCM
• WRF

Types of research mentioned in workshop surveys

• climatic extremes - regional climate, downscaling
• climate change variability
• climate change projections
• cloud parameterization in global climate models
• Global Circle Model, potential evapotranspiration
• hydrologic science and engineering
• hydrology and climate change
• mesoscale meteorology (low-level jets in China)
• meteorology/severe weather impacts
• ocean biochemistry responsible for production of the climate active trace gas
• rainfall data
• 3D scientific visualization
• tropical cyclone and earthquake models
• using glaciers to learn about past climates and to gain further insight into the climate change occurring today
• using WRF to downscale reanalysis data in complex terrain for hydrologic applications
• upper atmosphere modelling; long-term changes in the ionosphere and thermosphere

NCL Workshop Schedule

[Note: schedule may change slightly to accommodate instructors' and/or students' schedules. We will try to update this schedule immediately if there are any changes.]
