An overview of the NSF NCAR Convergence Science Program and discussion about convergence in CGD

An overview of the NSF NCAR Convergence Science Program and discussion about convergence in CGD. The NSF NCAR Convergence Science Program (website ) was recently started by the Directorate to accelerate NSF NCAR’s leadership role in enabling and conducting convergence for the Earth Systems Science (ESS) community. The program's vision is for NSF NCAR to be a place where convergence for ESS is deeply understood, valued, and supported – scientifically, culturally, and financially. In this meeting, members of the program from CGD will present an overview of the program and its key efforts, discuss what convergence research is, provide some examples, and host a discussion and answer questions about convergence.
