A Strong #ElNiño May Be Coming. #GlobalWarming Is Changing Its Effects
As planet warms, past episodes of the natural #weather phenomenon may no longer be a reliable guide of how the next one plays out.
“We are now in a different base line #climate,” said Clara Deser, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (#NCAR). That means past El Niños don’t necessarily tell us how the El Niños of the future will look.

The National Center for Atmospheric Research based in #Colorado is a #NSF program that enables broadly the entire research and academic communities across the USA to operate properly.
Last December, OMB made the shocking announcement that it intended to dismantle #NCAR
Details are now emerging on the motivations for this action ::

Die US-Regierung will eines der bedeutendsten Atmosphärenforschungszentren der Welt wegen angeblichem „Klimaalarmismus“ zerschlagen. Über 830 Wissenschaftler:innen bangen um ihre Zukunft. Wer Klimaforschung angreift, gefährdet nicht nur die Wissenschaft – sondern uns alle.

I've taken a crack at preserving #NCAR 's Java METAR viewer, which is miraculously still up-and-running after all these years. Some reverse engineering of how it ingests data is probably still needed.

Trump's plan to shut down #weather and #climate center triggers #lawsuit
#NCAR, provides a home for interdisciplinary and collaborative research focused on anything #atmospheric. Country’s leading academic researchers in the field have spent time working there or have been involved in collaborations that involve NCAR
The group that runs NCAR is fighting back, alleging in lawsuit that this is all happening simply because President Trump is mad at #Colorado and its governor

Trump Administration Readies Plans to Dismantle Renowned #NCAR #Science Lab
Proposals include transferring a #supercomputer to Univ of Wyoming and shifting #spaceweather lab to private company
Founded in 1960, responsible for many of biggest scientific advances in understanding of #weather & #climate. Its research aircraft and sophisticated computer models of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans are widely used in forecasting weather events and disasters

Update. The #Trump plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (#NCAR) are proceeding.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/climate/ncar-breakup-plan-nasa-noaa.htmlPartly to halt its influential #climate research. Partly to punish #Colorado #Democrats. Partly to transfer its assets to private companies, other federal agencies, and red-state universities.

Today is the LAST day to comment on the
#NCAR , the
National Center for Atmospheric Research.This is the backbone of the USA’s #climate and #weather research based in Boulder #Colorado .
#NSF put out a « dear colleague » letter proposing breaking it up and selling it off.
Don’t know what to say?

Rep. Neguse Calls For Inspector General Investigation Into OMB, National Science Foundation & Allegations of Potential Sale of NCAR to For-Profit Corporation
March 9, 2026
Press ReleaseWashington, D.C. — Today, Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse wrote to the Inspector General of the National Science Foundation (NSF) and demanded an independent investigation into allegations of potential conflicts of interest and regulatory improprieties related to the Trump administration’s attempts to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado.
According to new allegations reported by a whistleblower to Rep. Neguse’s office, there have been troubling reports that one or more Office of Management and Budget (OMB) officials allegedly proposed or negotiated an arrangement whereby components of NCAR’s space weather program would be transferred to a private, for-profit company.

Die Trump-Regierung hat im Dezember 2025 per X-Nachricht die Schließung des National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) angekündigt – und damit eines der weltweit führenden Wetter- und Klimaforschungszentren. 😳

How US Republicans are threatening/killing climate science in (fast warming/melting) polar regions:
"the Trump administration has frozen or terminated 7,800 research grants from federal science agencies and laid off 25,000 scientists and personnel...
Key scientific institutions affected include NASA, NOAA and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) in Colorado."

"The U.S. National Science Foundation said on Thursday that the management and operations of a supercomputer used by more than 4,000 climate and weather scientists across the country would be transferred from a leading research lab to an undisclosed third party." https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/climate/derecho-supercomputer-ncar.html #NCAR

US weather prediction supercomputer reportedly being transferred to an unknown "third party", per NY Times. This is not a "climate change" supercomputer, it's one of the supercomputers used to run the US weather prediction models. 😬

Does anyone know anyone at the NOAA ARL/who has anything to do with the NCEP/NCAR reanalysis data?
It looks like the 1948 and 1949 data have been mislabelled as 2048 and 2049 - noticed when running HYSPLIT trajectory models.
I've sent an email via the general NOAA research office, but not convinced it will get to the right people...
-
Defunding and dismantling NCAR is the petulant act of a toddler who has no comprehension of the risks of extreme weather events, particularly those that we don't know are coming.
The NSF is accepting public comment on Trump's war against weather science at [email protected]
Please write to add your support for NCAR's weather modeling and forecasting, a resource the world relies on.

Colorado senators’ bid to save NCAR funding fails as U.S. Senate passes spending bills
The U.S. Senate pushed forward on an appropriations package Thursday over the objections of Colorado’s senators, who had held up the bills last month in a bid to stop the Trump administration from dismantling a research center in Boulder.

White House pushes to dismantle leading climate and weather research center (pbs.org)
-
https://www.vox.com/climate/472796/ncar-climate-science-trump-administration-colorado
One of the leading #climate, weather, and #wildfirescience research institutions, #NCAR, is targeted for elimination in what many see as Trump’s political vendetta against CO Gov. #JaredPolis.
Trump’s beef: the jailing of a former county election official in CO, Tina Peters, convicted of giving Trump allies unauthorized access to a voting machine after the 2020 election. Anon White House: “The Colorado governor obviously isn’t willing to work with the president.”

"Consider the press, which even while reporting the story, cannot state the obvious conclusion: that this man is morally and psychologically unfit for office. He would be unfit to manage a lemonade stand."
