Welcome to the advanced Study Program
The Advanced Study Program (ASP) is unique in its encompassing support of NCAR goals and objectives. The ASP mission, broadly defined, is to help NCAR and the scientific communities it serves prepare for the future. We work across scientific disciplines in support of other NCAR units with these objectives:
- to encourage the development of young scientists in the field of atmospheric science;
- to direct attention to timely scientific areas needing special emphasis;
- to help organize new science initiatives;
- to support interactions with universities;
- to promote continuing education at NCAR.
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program
The postdoctoral program provides an opportunity for recent-Ph.D. scientists to continue to pursue their research interests in atmospheric and related science. The program also invites postdoctorates from a variety of disciplines to apply their training to research in the atmospheric sciences.
Faculty Fellowship Program
The Faculty Fellowship Program provides opportunities and resources for faculty employed at universities to work in residence at NCAR, and enables NCAR Scientists to spend a period of time in residence at US universities.
Graduate Student Visitor Program
The Graduate Student Visitor Program is designed to provide NCAR staff opportunities to bring graduate students to NCAR for 3 to 12-month collaborative visits with the endorsement of their thesis advisors and in pursuit of their thesis research. These visits have the goal of enhancing NCAR partnerships with other public and private institutions.
Yue Deng:
Investigation of the thermosphere and ionosphere coupling under different magnetospheric conditions.
Yue has investigated the primary characteristics of non-hydrostatic effects on the upper atmosphere through using GITM. The results show that after a sudden intense enhancement of Joule heating, the pressure gradient force can locally be 25% larger than the gravity force, resulting a large disturbance of buoyancy force, the sum of the pressure gradient force and the gravity force. This disturbance can be transported from the source region to the high altitude through an acoustic wave, which has been simulated in a global circulation model for the first time.
