The Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) fprovides 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.

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
