The UCAR Community Programs (UCP) provide innovative resources, tools, and services in support of the research and education goals of the atmospheric and Earth system sciences community.

A major focus for UCP is making sure the science from NCAR and UCAR institutions is translated in novel ways to a variety of audiences and stakeholders.

UCAR Community Programs has been organized into four different centers based on the nature of the work that they perform for the community. They are:

  • Earth Observation and Data Services (EODS) which houses University Data Interactive Computing and Communications Systems (UNIDATA); as well as Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate (COSMIC)
  • Education and Training (ETC) which includes Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE); UCAR Center for Science Education (SciEd); and the Cooperative Program for Operational Meteorology Education and Training (COMET)
  • Research to Operations (R2O) containing the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA)
  • Scientific Partnerships and Services (SPS) with the Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS)
