We have advanced meteorological systems that allow our academic and research staff to probe processes and investigate theory, but also produce knowledge that is applied.
Applied meteorology examples include agricultural meteorology, weather and climate forecasting, renewable energy (wind and hydro) resource assessment, air pollution, wild fire-atmospheric interactions, and urban meteorology.
We are interested in studying the atmosphere close to Earth鈥檚 surface, or the atmospheric boundary layer (first 2 km above ground), this is the most significant layer in the atmosphere as it is where we live, grow our food, and collect our water.
