Facilities

Laboratories, field sites, and mobile platforms that put NWI research in the real atmosphere.

The country's largest publicly funded mesonet — real-time data behind local forecasts, warnings, and farm decisions.

Rapid-deploy surface stations placed ahead of landfalling hurricanes and severe storms.

High-resolution stationary and mobile radars that measure fine-scale wind structure.

Sixty-seven acres of dedicated ground for testing at full scale.
