Cooperative Institute for Severe and High-Impact Weather Research and Operations (CIWRO)
CIWRO provides a mechanism that links the scientific and technical resources of OU and NOAA together, to create a center of research for mesoscale meteorology, regional climate studies, and related subject areas.
CIWRO scientists and students conduct research in mesoscale dynamics; radar research, development, and analysis; atmospheric electricity; severe storms; cloud microphysics; and boundary layer studies; with increasing emphasis in recent years on the climatic effects of and controls on mesoscale processes, the socioeconomic impact of such phenomena, and climate change monitoring and detection.

Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS)
Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS): OCS was established in 1980 to provide climatological services to the people of Oklahoma, conduct research on the impacts of climate on human activities, and serve as a support facility for the State Climatologist. OCS has a legislative mandate to acquire, process, and disseminate climate and weather data and information for use by the state's citizens.
