Formed in 2005, the Earth Observing Laboratory (EOL) is one of the five laboratories of NCAR, the National Science Foundation's Federally Funded Research and Development Center. As the successor of NCAR's Atmospheric Technology Division (ATD), the mission of EOL is to provide leadership in observing facilities, field project support as well as research and data services needed to advance the scientific understanding of the Earth system. EOL manages the majority of NSF's Lower Atmospheric Observing Facilities (LAOF) and deploys them in support of observational field campaigns, ranging from single investigator projects to large complex campaigns that involve multiple investigators, agencies, and platforms, nationally and internationally. EOL deploys its systems for research by scientists from universities, NCAR, and government agencies, as well as for education. An integral part of EOL's mission is to develop the next generation of LAOF and to provide management and archiving of data from past supported campaigns.
