Research
CIMSS scientists conduct research covering all aspects of satellite meteorology. We are using observations from space-, aircraft- and ground-based instruments to study the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans and land surface; developing algorithms and products that can be transitioned from research into operational forecast models; and helping design and demonstrate the sensor capabilities of the future.
This research contributes to the global understanding of weather, climate, and atmospheric processes, including climate trends, and improves the accuracy and timeliness of weather forecasts.
