WAML Spring 2005 Meeting
Field Trip: National
Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR)
On Saturday we will visit the National Center
for Atmospheric Research at 10:30. Located in a beautiful
setting on a hill above the city, the NCARs Mesa Lab
was designed by well-known architect I.M. Pei. We will
tour the lab, learn about the architecture, explore
the science exhibits, and enjoy a boxed lunch. If the
weather permits, we can walk the Walter Orr Roberts
Weather Trail or, for the more adventurous, take a
longer hike on the Boulder Open Space trails that abut
the NCAR site.
The tour lasts an hour (10:30-11:30), after which we will explore the exhibits and eat. We estimate that the field trip may be over around 12:45 or 1:00. It could be longer if you plan to take the weather walk or a longer hike.
