ESSIC hosted faculty, scientists, and students from each academic institutional partner of the NOAA Center for Atmospheric Sciences (NCAS), April 25-27. The participants met with NOAA scientists and stakeholders to share research results, discuss project status, and explore opportunities for research-to-operations and research-to-applications. The mission of NCAS (run by Howard University) is to increase the number of highly qualified, well-trained graduates in NOAA-related sciences.
