Abstract

To fulfill the mission of serving the computational, data management, and research needs of the atmospheric and related geosciences communities, the NCAR Computational and Information System Laboratory provides stable services utilizing proven technologies in high performance computing, data analysis, and data archival, and at the same time pursues promising new technologies designed to allow scientists to address challenging scientific problems. This presentation will describe the cyberinfrastructure environment supported at NCAR, outline the challenges that exist in maintaining and enhancing this environment, and discuss the short-term plans and long-term options for augmentation of the computational facilities, including the recently announced partnership with the University of Wyoming and the State of Wyoming to build NCAR's new supercomputing center in Cheyenne.
