  1. NCAR, Boulder, CO (United States)
The overall objective of the atmospheric chemistry program at NCAR is to further understand the complex processes mediated by atmospheric interactions within the larger planetary system. NCAR is increasingly designing interdisciplinary programs to probe the complex interactions among oceans, ecosystems, and the atmospheric interface they share. It is maintaining a balance between theoretical and experimental research techniques while developing a hierarchy of mathematical models to both guide and interpret measurements. NCAR continued its focus upon global-change issues within the Global Tropospheric Chemistry Program (GTCP) and the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) Program framework. The division expanded its modeling program to tighten the integration among theoretical, laboratory, and field studies. NCAR`s stratospheric goals were also redefined through its new Middle Atmospheric Chemistry, Radiation and Transport program. MACRAT will include both modeling and in-situ and remote observational studies of chemical composition, processes, and dynamics.
