by  UCAR Center for Science Education

Program image

What is it like to work at the National Center for Atmospheric Research?! Join us as we talk with experts to learn about what they do in their work, the highlights and challenges, and how it impacts us and our world. Then ask them anything you want to know about what it's like to do their jobs!


Supercomputers allow scientists to process an extraordinary amount of scientific data and conduct an incredible number of calculations to predict hurricanes, wildfire paths, solar storms, climate change impacts, and when it might start raining in your town. But where do we keep all of that important data once we have it? Whose job is it to take care of it all? Join NCAR systems engineers Jenett Tillotson and Joey Mendoza behind the scenes at the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center for an inside look at a supercomputer and the super storage it takes to keep scientists exploring.
