Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS) is a research organization formed through a partnership between the University of Oklahoma (OU) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). CIMMS focuses on mesoscale meteorology, which includes the study of weather systems at scales smaller than synoptic but larger than microscale, such as thunderstorms, squall lines, and mesoscale convective systems.
Mission
CIMMS's mission is to advance the science of mesoscale meteorology by conducting research that leads to better weather forecasting, more accurate radar analysis, and an improved understanding of regional climate impacts. It aims to transfer this knowledge into operational use to enhance safety and economic benefits for society.
Parent organization
CIMMS is part of the University of Oklahoma and collaborates extensively with the NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), among other NOAA entities.
Legislation
CIMMS was established through a cooperative agreement with NOAA, rather than through specific legislation.
Partners
