The National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS) is a world-leading research centre, funded by the Natural Environment Research Council. NCAS is dedicated to the advancement of atmospheric science.

Their research falls into three key areas. These are air pollution, climate and high-impact weather and long-term global changes in our atmosphere. 

NCAS also provides the UK with state-of-the-art services for observing and modelling the atmosphere. These include a research aircraft, advanced ground-based observational facilities, computer modelling and support, and facilities for storing and analysing data. 

NCAS plays a significant and influential role in many international science programmes and provides advice, leadership and national capability in atmospheric science.
