Three Integrated Themes
- Innovative observations for advancing climate, weather, and air quality analysis and prediction.
- Interdisciplinary scientific research to support modeling and forecasting activities for building community resilience against extreme weather, water, atmospheric, and climate events.
- Integrated research in support of building public safety through Impact-Based Decision Support Services (IDSS).
NCAS-M II will support undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships that focus on the participation of students from traditionally underrepresented minority communities in NOAA’s mission-related scientific, management, and policy professional workforce.
