A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from transferring control of a major federal supercomputing center in Colorado from the National Center for Atmospheric Research to the University of Wyoming, handing a victory to the consortium that manages the facility.

The dispute centers on the NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center, a hub for climate, weather, and atmospheric research based in Boulder, Colorado. The center is operated by the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research, a nonprofit consortium representing 129 universities and research institutions.
