We are leading atmospheric science in a changing world
The National Centre for Atmospheric Science is a world-leading research centre, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council. Since 2002, we have grown in our role as an independent research centre. Today we hold a leading, and unique, role in addressing global environmental challenges.
We seek to understand our atmosphere, how it is changing, and how it impacts our global environment, our health, and our prosperity. Our research, skills and infrastructure lead to climate change resilience, clean air solutions, and early-warning systems for high-risk weather.
We provide the UK with the knowledge and expertise to remain at the forefront of atmospheric science, which underpins environmental solutions, sustainability, health and prosperity, and informs decisions in government, industry, and civil society.
Our community of staff drives science forward as an integrated multidisciplinary team. Our research scientists, data analysts, technologists, and support specialists carry out globally recognised research, develop new tools and capabilities, and enable access to high quality data, services, facilities, and scientific training.
We fulfil our purpose as a partner of the Natural Environment Research Council and UK Research and Innovation. We are a research consortium of universities and associated organisations, working in coordination with a wide range of national and international partners.
