I've taken a crack at preserving #NCAR 's Java METAR viewer, which is miraculously still up-and-running after all these years. Some reverse engineering of how it ingests data is probably still needed.

Political Bill SCHiding the truth doesn't make the truth any less true.
"The National Center for Atmospheric Research, or NCAR, a world-renowned laboratory of the National Science Foundation, faces an uncertain future after a surprise announcement on Dec. 16. The news was delivered not in a formal policy document but on social media, where the director of the U.S. Office of Management and Budget posted on X that the administration will break up NCAR, citing it as a source of 'climate alarmism.'"

#NCAR, provides a home for interdisciplinary and collaborative research focused on anything #atmospheric. Country’s leading academic researchers in the field have spent time working there or have been involved in collaborations that involve NCAR
The group that runs NCAR is fighting back, alleging in lawsuit that this is all happening simply because President Trump is mad at #Colorado and its governor

Trump Administration Readies Plans to Dismantle Renowned #NCAR #Science Lab
Proposals include transferring a #supercomputer to Univ of Wyoming and shifting #spaceweather lab to private company
Founded in 1960, responsible for many of biggest scientific advances in understanding of #weather & #climate. Its research aircraft and sophisticated computer models of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans are widely used in forecasting weather events and disasters

"VOOSEN Just in: UCAR has filed a lawsuit against NSF, the Commerce Dept, NOAA, and OMB to prevent the dismantling of NCAR, alleging "violations of the Constitution and the Administrative Procedure Act." "

Davin (he/him)Near and dear to me, the world leading US climate lab NCAR is set to be dismantled by the American Fascist Party. Given the war against Iran and the generally defunct state of representative democracy, not sure there is much we can do about this now, but remember what they did. And sure, go get the 5 Calls app and call your rep.

petersuberUpdate. The #Trump plans to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research (#NCAR) are proceeding.

Partly to halt its influential #climate research. Partly to punish #Colorado #Democrats. Partly to transfer its assets to private companies, other federal agencies, and red-state universities.
