National Centre for Atmospheric Science

The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) provides a national capability in atmospheric science research.

The centre increases knowledge of key environmental issues including: climate change, weather processes and atmospheric composition including air quality.

It uses state-of-the-art technologies for observing and modelling the atmosphere and its research is used by policy makers and the wider UK science base.

NCAS is not based in one location. It is a collaborative centre made up three science directorates (climate; weather; atmospheric composition) and four services and facilities distributed across many UK universities and related institutions.
