NCAR-wide efforts

A number of events occurred in 2012 that affected NCAR and our community. Among the exciting news is the opening of the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center in Cheyenne, Wyoming in October 2012. The effects of Colorado’s summer wildfires touched both NCAR and Colorado State University; some of these experiences are shared in one of the stories in this section. And, with input from experts within our community, NCAR and its Laboratories and Observatory had their every-five-year review, the outcomes of which are reported on.
