The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), an operational research center crucial to furthering our understanding of weather and helping to save lives and property, is at risk of being dismantled. We must not let that happen. 🧵⬇️

NCAR has been integral in the development of technologies, models, and systems that have progressed our understanding of weather. NCAR’s research is crucial for protecting lives and property and supporting innovation.

Any plans to dismantle the Center would set back our ability to predict, prepare for, and respond to severe weather and other natural disasters.
