New research led by NCAR scientist Thomas Galarneau provides an in-depth analysis of two extreme weather events whose connection may come as a surprise: Russia’s intense heat wave in summer 2010 and the heavy rains that occurred simultaneously in Pakistan.

New research from NCAR is helping wind energy developers determine the best potential sites for capturing wind. Energy companies can lose money if they install turbines where winds are either too low to generate much power or so high that the turbines often need to be shut down to avoid damage.

Improved forecasting, driving safety are among the goals of new research.

Researchers and forecasters work together to improve forecasts where the mountains meet the sea.

UCAR's COMET Program partners with the Canadian Meteorological Service for expert training.
