The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University (CSU) proposes to continue its research partnership with the NREL in Golden, CO. The partnership resonates with the goals outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding between the Department of Energy and the Department of Commerce (with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)) signed in 2011. This CRADA will sustain the research partnership and provide an avenue and resources for ongoing collaborations, including the maintenance of NREL-furnished computer and storage equipment at CSU/CIRA. There is no formal exchange of funds in this CRADA; support above and beyond the in-kind items outlined in this document will come on a best-effort basis and/or in association with formal sponsored-research enabled collaborations. The research conducted under this CRADA continues to work toward enabling and improving short-term solar energy forecasting as developed under previous CIRA/CSU and NREL collaborations, with specific focus on point-based (e.g., solar farm) forecasting on the 1-3 hour timeframe. Under the best-effort actions during the CRADA period, technical maintenance of CIRA's existing satellite-based solar forecasting algorithm ("CIRACast"; Miller et al., 2017) was continued to maintain operability with evolving datasets. These efforts benefit the public by maintaining national capability for point solar forecasting using geostationary observation platforms, and laying the groundwork for future technical improvements as opportunities arise.

The science behind global warming, and its history: how scientists learned to understand the atmosphere, to measure it, to trace its past, and to model its future. Global warming skeptics often fall back on the argument that the scientific case for global warming is all model predictions, nothing but simulation; they warn us that we need to wait for real data, “sound science.” In A Vast Machine Paul Edwards has news for these skeptics: without models, there are no data. Today, no collection of signals or observations—even from satellites, which can “see” the whole planet with a single instrument—becomes global in time and space without passing through a series of data models. Everything we know about the world's climate we know through models. Edwards offers an engaging and innovative history of how scientists learned to understand the atmosphere—to measure it, trace its past, and model its future.
