Research that helps protect property and save lives
Weather affects everyone. Every year devastating storms result in lives lost and billions of dollars of damage. To keep ourselves, our families, and our communities safe, we all depend on timely and accurate weather information.
At the University of Wisconsin-Madison Space Science and Engineering Center and the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies we conduct innovative research to improve weather forecasts. For more than 50 years, SSEC and CIMSS science has helped improve our understanding in areas such as severe weather, wildfires, hurricanes, floods, and aviation turbulence. We are committed to supporting NOAA’s mission to protect property and save lives.
