The Director's Office of the Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) works to ensure that geoscientists have a balanced mix of computational resources to study the complex processes that make up the Earth system, from the ocean floor and atmosphere to the Sun's core.

These computational resources include high-performance computers, high-speed networks, a world-class data archiving and storage facility, research data sets, state-of-the-art knowledge environments and visualization technologies, advanced mathematical tools, and a staff of professionals dedicated to advancing Earth systems science across broad fronts.

CISL is composed of two divisions and one NCAR-wide institute:

  • Operations and Services Division (OSD) includes most of the computing-center functions familiar to external users.
  • Technology Development Division (TDD) incorporates scientific visualization, computer science, and the Earth System Modeling Infrastructure.
  • Institute for Mathematics Applied to the Geosciences (IMAGe) facilitates connections between the mathematical and geophysical communities across all NCAR labs and divisions as well as the external university community. IMAGe also conducts research and supports tools and algorithms that use mathematics to strengthen geosciences research.
