At UCAR and NCAR every day is an opportunity to better understand the Earth’s atmosphere and related physical, biological and social systems. Sunday, April 22nd, nationally recognized as Earth Day, is a time to acknowledge the importance of the work done here at UCAR|NCAR, and it is a time to celebrate the cumulative results of a daily commitment by staff to make our impact on the Earth’s systems as positive as possible.
Here are just a few highlights from our collective efforts:
Congratulations on being part of these significant efforts, and the many more that occur on a daily basis! We look forward to supporting your continued excellent stewardship.
Happy Earth Day!
Sincerely,
Your Sustainability Team

NCL + VAPOR Workshop
July 9-12, 2018
Corporate Technical Training Center
Center Green campus, 3085 Center Green Drive (CG-2)
Boulder, CO
This 4-day workshop is geared towards new users of NCL and VAPOR. It will include a combination of introductory lectures on NCL and scientific data formats and graphics, and 3D visualization using VAPOR. Students will be encouraged to bring their own data to the workshop. There will be hands-on labs every afternoon, where the instructors will work individually with students to help them analyze their own data using NCL and VAPOR.
Registration is limited and the summer workshop tends to fill up quickly, so register as soon as possible. The deadline is June 15, 2018.
Travel support is available on a first-come, first-served basis for qualified students from EPSCoR states or minority-serving institutions to attend. The deadline for applying for funds is May 14, 2018.
See the link below for full details and a link to the registration form.

CPO/IT Security would like to inform all staff that an active phishing campaign is targeting UCAR employees directly. “Phishing” is a type of cyber attack that uses a fraudulent email or phone call to convince you to give up sensitive information, or to click on links that download malware or spyware. UCAR is currently the target of a group that is creating custom websites to trick UCAR employees into entering their UCAR credentials through the pretense of an “Employee Survey”. Please be very careful before clicking on links sent to you in any email, even if it appears to be signed by a UCAR executive. UCAR surveys hosted on our own Google Forms will not ask you for your username and password. Check the “From” field and make sure it is from the recipient with email @ucar.edu that you expect to see. If it is from an email address outside of UCAR, call and verify with the sender before trusting it. “Hover over” the link to see where it really goes and if the URL in the link does not end in .ucar.edu, then it is not a UCAR hosted link. If you think there is anything “phishy” about the email, trust your instincts and check first. Please forward any suspicious emails to security@ucar.edu or your designated system administrator. Thank you, CPO/IT Security Team.

Title: Ocean Heat Uptake and Dynamic Sea Level Rise: Past and Future Uncertainty
Speaker: Laure Zanna, Univ. of Oxford, U.K.
Monday, April 23, 2018 - 3:30 pm
Mesa Lab, Main Seminar Room
Abstract:
The ocean absorbs a significant portion of the anthropogenic heat released in the climate system, leading to an increase in global mean sea level rise. Observed and projected regional patterns of heat uptake in mid- and high-latitudes are controlled in part by changes in ocean circulation. Using a new estimate of ocean heat content, direct measurements and models, I will present evidence that in the Atlantic: 1) half of the thermosteric sea level trend since 1970 is due to ocean circulation changes; 2) the uncertainty in dynamic sea level projections can be explained by the ocean circulation response to uncertain air-sea fluxes (rather than from ocean model uncertainty). I will use a simple conceptual model to explain the changes and discuss the implications for climate projections of dynamic sea level.

Planar Nanotube-Based Radiometers for Space and Telecommunications
John H. Lehman
NIST, Sources and Detectors Group
The primary standards for optical power measurements at NIST and other National Metrology Institutes in the world are based on thermal detectors and the principle of electrical substitution. Traceability is realized through electrical measurements and the SI by way of the volt and ohm. We have recently demonstrated that we can achieve small, fast, accurate and extremely efficient and broadband radiometers based on micromachined silicon and vertically aligned carbon nanotubes. These chipscale radiometers embody all the essential elements of an absolute radiometer on a single chip. The application for these radiometers ranges from optical fiber power meter calibrations, laser-power measurements, and space-based solar irradiance and solar spectral irradiance.
