NCAR sent along this digital version of the proposed design:



Here's sneak peek at some of the equipment that will be used at this super-high-tech facility:





"We are pleased to be moving forward on this world-class, collaborative endeavor," says NCAR Director Eric Barron. "We are advancing an era of scientific progress and discovery through a partnership that will deliver top-notch resources to the world's research community."

We live in exciting times.
