The '''Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies''' ('''CIMSS''') is a [[research institute]] where scientists study the use of data from [[geostationary]] and [[polar orbit]] [[weather satellite]]s to improve forecasts of [[weather]] (including [[tropical cyclones]] and [[Severe weather|severe storms]]. CIMSS was formed through a Memorandum of Understanding between the [[University of Wisconsin–Madison]], the [[National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration]] (NOAA) and the [[National Aeronautics and Space Administration]] (NASA). CIMSS parent organization, the [[Space Science and Engineering Center]] (SSEC) is a primary developer and operator of [[environmental satellite]] technologies.
