Call for NCAR Strategic Capability (NSC) project proposals: Deadline March
14, 2016

NCAR computational scientists are encouraged to submit requests for the
next round of NCAR Strategic Capability (NSC) projects to run on the
Yellowstone system. The deadline for submissions is March 14, 2016.

NSC project allocations target large-scale activities that directly relate
to one or more specific priorities in the NCAR strategic plan. Requests
that address the grand challenges in the Path Forward, including the
development of global models with limited-area higher-resolution grids and
the use of data assimilation techniques and statistics with model
development and verification, are especially encouraged.

NSC projects must be technically ready to begin production runs starting
May 1, 2016, and should be completed within 12 months. NSC projects
requiring more than one year’s allocation must submit continuation requests
each year to report progress toward the project’s objectives.

An estimated 50 million core-hours on Yellowstone will be available for the
Spring 2016 projects, and requesters should plan to conduct these projects
only on Yellowstone. (Look for opportunities to request time on Cheyenne in
the fall.)

For more information and how to apply, see the NSC allocations
documentation at http://www2.cisl.ucar.edu/docs/allocations/ncar/nsc.

Because of the competitive nature of these allocations, labs may have
chosen to coordinate submissions from each lab. Potential applicants are
encouraged to contact their lab's or division's allocation representative
prior to submitting a request.

Please send any questions to alloc at ucar.edu.
