1988

1. #1 #1 1988 A new visualization laboratory helps scientists depict their results in three-dimensional animated form. Meanwhile, the NCAR Graphics program, developed earlier in the decade, broadens its user base with a UNIX-compatible version. Task: Volleyball has three dimensions as well - - using your hands only, you must complete a bump, set, and spike over the net with the beach ball provided. 1988 A new visualization laboratory helps scientists depict their results in three-dimensional animated form.

3. 1965 September 27, 1965 was the date that Donald Lenschow began working for NCAR nearly 46 years ago. Donald, Charles Knight, and Warren Washington are the three employees that have been here the longest. Task: Find Dr. Lenschow in the CG Library. He will give you the instructions to finish your task. #2 1965 September 27, 1965 was the date that Donald Lenschow began working for NCAR nearly 46 years ago.

7. 1994-1995 The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX) canvasses the southern Great Plains over two consecutive summers, deploying people and instruments from NCAR and over a dozen other participants. VORTEX captures tornado formation – and at times, its surprising failure –from the ground and the air in greater detail than ever before. Task: Recreate a Tornado in the bottle – you must select only the “correct” materials from the products provided. #4 1994-1995 The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX) canvasses the southern Great Plains over two consecutive summers, deploying people and instruments from NCAR and over a dozen other participants.

11. #6 #6 1960s In the early 1960s, Walter Orr Roberts had high aspirations both for the new center and for the structure that was to house it. Of the possible land parcels available for NCAR, the dramatic Table Mesa top was the clear favorite. However, before NCAR could lay claim to the site, a major political hurdle had to be surmounted since Boulder voters had amended the city's charter in 1959 to include a "blue line" above which city water would not be supplied. The NCAR site was located above this line. Task: Using only your hands, take the water from the buckets and fill the bottle just above the blue line. 1960s In the early 1960s, Walter Orr Roberts had high aspirations both for the new center and for the structure that was to house it.

13. #7 #7 1999 Scientists at San Francisco State University, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the Anglo-Australian Telescope, and NCAR use helioseismologic data to infer for the first time the presence of multiple planets around a Sun-like star, Upsilon Andromeda. Task: Identify all NINE (9) planets and place them in the correct order starting with the one closest to the Sun. You will have two attempts to get this correct. 1999 Scientists at San Francisco State University, the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, the Anglo-Australian Telescope, and NCAR use helioseismologic data to infer for the first time the presence of multiple planets around a Sun-like star, Upsilon Andromeda.
