'''Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)''' is a research department within Colorado State University's Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering, in partnership with the Department of Atmospheric Science. CIRA collaborates with NOAA to conduct atmospheric research, focusing on satellite data, numerical weather prediction, and the transition of research into practical applications. {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://www.cira.colostate.edu}} == Mission == CIRA's mission is to conduct interdisciplinary research in atmospheric sciences to enhance our understanding of the Earth's atmosphere, thereby improving weather and climate forecasting. It endeavors to translate scientific findings into operational tools that aid in decision-making for weather prediction, disaster preparedness, and environmental management. == Parent organization == CIRA is part of [[Colorado State University]], specifically within the [[Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering]] and collaborates with [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration|NOAA]] to fulfill its research objectives. == Legislation == CIRA was established through a cooperative agreement with NOAA, not through specific legislation. ==Partners== * [[Colorado State University]] * [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] == Number of employees == CIRA has approximately 150 researchers and staff employed across various locations in the United States.<ref>https://www.research.colostate.edu/unit-spotlight-on-cooperative-institute-of-research-in-the-atmosphere-cira/</ref> == Organization structure == CIRA's structure is designed to support its research themes: * '''Satellite Algorithm Development''' for weather forecasting. * '''Regional to Global Scale Modeling Systems''' for numerical weather prediction. * '''Data Assimilation''' to enhance model accuracy. * '''Climate-Weather Processes''' research to understand short-term climate phenomena. == List of programs == * Satellite Imagery and Algorithm Development * Numerical Weather Prediction Models * Data Assimilation Techniques * Fire Weather Research * Training and Education for Operational Meteorologists == Last total enacted budget == The specific budget for CIRA isn't detailed in the search results. == Leader == Dr. Steven Miller serves as the Director of CIRA. == Services provided == CIRA provides research services related to atmospheric science, including the development of satellite-based algorithms, weather prediction models, and data assimilation techniques. It also offers educational and training programs to operational meteorologists and engages in outreach to promote scientific literacy. == Regulations overseen == CIRA does not oversee regulations but supports NOAA's operational needs through research. == Headquarters address == 1375 Campus Delivery, Fort Collins, CO 80523-1375, USA == Website == https://www.cira.colostate.edu == Wikipedia article == wikipedia:Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere <references /> [[Category:Colorado State University]] [[Category:Partnerships]]
