'''Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)''' is a research institute affiliated with the University of Wisconsin–Madison, focusing on the application of meteorological satellite data for weather analysis, forecasting, and research. CIMSS collaborates with NOAA and NASA to develop and implement techniques that leverage satellite observations for environmental monitoring and prediction.
