Atmospheric Radar Research Center (ARRC) : The ARRC is involved in many aspects of radar research applied to studies of the atmosphere. Topics range from sophisticated radar signal processing to precipitation microphysical studies. http://arrc.ou.edu
Center for the Analysis and Prediction of Storms (CAPS): The CAPS mission is to develop and demonstrate techniques for the numerical analysis and prediction of high-impact local weather and environmental conditions, with emphasis on the assimilation of observations from Doppler radars and other advanced in-situ and remote sensing systems. http://www.caps.ou.edu/
Center for Spatial Analysis (CSA): CSA is a multidisciplinary university research center specializing in the study and application of geospatial science and technology. http://www.csa.ou.edu/
Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS): CIMMS provides a mechanism to link the scientific and technical resources of the University of Oklahoma and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to create a center of research excellence in mesoscale meteorology, regional climate studies, and related subject areas. http://www.cimms.ou.edu/
Environmental Verification and Analysis Center (EVAC): EVAC participates in interdisciplinary scientific work related to earth science, with special emphasis on strengthening relationships among environmental scientists and the public around the globe. http://www.evac.ou.edu/
Oklahoma Alliance for Geographical Education (OKAGE): OKAGE is an organization for geography educators in Oklahoma, and is affiliated with the National Geographic Society and its national network of state geographic alliances and national geography organizations. http://www.ngsednet.org/community/index.cfm?community_id=254
Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS): OCS was established in 1980 to provide climatological services to the people of Oklahoma, conduct research on the impacts of climate on human activities, and serve as a support facility for the State Climatologist. OCS has a legislative mandate to acquire, process, and disseminate climate and weather data and information for use by the state's citizens. http://www.ocs.ou.edu/
Oklahoma Mesonet: The Oklahoma Mesonet consists of over 100 automated observing stations that continuously monitor numerous important weather and soil variables. The Oklahoma Mesonet Program is administered jointly by the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University. http://www.mesonet.org/
Oklahoma NASA Space Grant Consortium (OSGC): OSGC represents a statewide partnership of universities, a cooperative extension service, state government, city government, industry, and a major science museum working to enhance opportunities for Oklahomans to understand and participate in NASA's mission directorates by supporting programs in science, mathematics, engineering, technology, education, geography, and other aeronautics and space related disciplines throughout the state. http://okspacegrant.ou.edu/index.php
Office of Weather Programs and Projects (OWPP): OWPP is a university research center dedicated to the transfer of meteorological knowledge present in the Weather Sphere to national and international applied meteorological projects. OWPP’s main focus areas include hydro-meteorological modernization feasibility studies and meteorological educational programs. Additionally, OWPP provides connections to key Weather Sphere experts for developing project opportunities. http://owpp.ou.edu/
Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM): The ARM Program is the largest global change research program supported by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). It was created to help resolve scientific uncertainties related to global climate change, with a specific focus on the crucial role of clouds and their influence on radiative feedback processes in the atmosphere. http://www.arm.gov/sites/sgp.stm
Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere (CASA): CASA is a multi-university NSF Engineering Research Center that seeks to revolutionize the way we observe, understand, and predict hazardous weather by creating distributed collaborative adaptive sensing networks that sample the atmosphere where and when user needs are the greatest. http://www.casa.umass.edu/
Oklahoma Mesonet Research Group: The Oklahoma Mesonet provides boundless opportunities for state-of-the-art research focused on testing new sensors, validation of satellite measurements and model output, and participating in specialized field research programs. The knowledge gained from such research projects is used to more accurately assess and predict the onset of drought conditions, develop new technologies, and improve weather forecasting. http://www.ocs.ou.edu/research/
Oklahoma Wind Power Initiative (OWPI): (OWPI) investigates and promotes wind energy resources and economic information to policy makers, land owners, potential wind energy investors, and citizens of Oklahoma. http://www.seic.okstate.edu/owpi/
Shared Mobile Atmospheric Research and Teaching Radars (SMART-R): The SMART-R program uses three mobile doppler radar platforms for storm-scale research, and to enhance graduate and undergraduate education in radar meteorology. http://www.nssl.noaa.gov/smartradars/
