To see the numbers and statistics of visitors in the different years, visit the 1999 Annual Scientific Report. The benefits of a vibrant visitor program are self-evident. Not only does the influx of new ideas invigorate the science, but the presence of so many from foreign countries, universities, private industry, and governmental agencies of not only the United States but other countries, stimulates the research. Students are a large part of the MMM Visitor Program. MMM hosts several ASP postdocs.
European schools send students here to complete projects.
Staff scientists often are graduate research advisors or participate on a student s thesis committee, which will frequently bring the student to NCAR for visits. For a complete list of MMM visitors and collaborators, visit the Annual Scientific Report for 1999. For more information on the Affiliate Scientist appointment policy and procedure see manual Other divisions and programs within UCAR also offer visiting opportunities in atmospheric science. The UCAR web site explains internships, visitor appointments, and fellowships that exist over the institution as a whole, all with varied processes. The division has set up a Visitor Program Office to coordinate and facilitate all visits.
