The exhibit Atmospheric Odyssey, created in 2000 for the anniversary of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research and the National Center for Atmospheric Research, celebrates 40 years of discovery and partnership in the atmospheric sciences. Richly illustrated exhibit panels and interactive features explore scientific progress in climate and weather research, advances in atmospheric measurements, complexity in the Earth's system, atmospheric science as a global enterprise, costs of severe weather events, benefits of research to society, research leading to service, and the atmospheric science community's history and vision.
