Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) provides a mechanism to link the scientific and technical resources of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) / Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) and the University of Oklahoma to create a center of research excellence in mesoscale meteorology, regional climate studies, and related subject areas. It is located at the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma.
The CIMMS research themes are:
- Basic Convective and Mesoscale Research
- Forecast Improvements
- Climatic Effects of/Controls on Mesoscale Processes
- Socioeconomic Impacts of Mesoscale Weather Systems and Regional Scale Climate Variations
- Doppler Weather Radar Research and Development
- Climate Change Monitoring and Detection
