			Sea Ice and CO2 Levels After 140 years of a 1% annual increase in CO2, this simulation shows a dramatic reduction in sea ice thickness at the North Pole. Results for the South Pole are also shown.

			CCSM CAM3 T341 Cloud and Precipitation Simulation The Community Atmosphere Model (CAM) is the latest in a series of global atmosphere models developed at NCAR for the weather and climate research communities. CAM also serves as the atmospheric component of the Community Climate System Model (CCSM).

			Parallel Ocean Program (POP) Simulation These animations were produced from POP .1 degree ocean simulation data. Colored bands reveal the stratification of ocean surface temperatures extending from the poles to the Earth's equator. Sea surface temperatures can range from below zero Celsius in the darkest blue areas to over thirty degrees Celsius in the red regions.

			Solar Magnetic Eruption Solar Magnetic Eruptions (SME), such as coronal mass ejections and solar flares, and their impact on Earth's space environment are the target of this space weather research.
