NCAR/UCAR and ESRI Forge Strategic Relationship
NCAR/UCAR and ESRI are working together to advance GIS within the realm of atmospheric research. In addition, both organizations are exploring the development of atmospheric applications, information, and data models within GIS domains. A key initial project in the newly formed relationship involves GIS education and training for researchers to expand GIS use at NCAR/UCAR. Ultimately the education, training, and development efforts will benefit a variety of audiences associated with GIS and atmospheric science.   [ learn more ]
