The Oklahoma Climatological Survey (OCS) was created by the University of Oklahoma in 1980 to provide climate services to the people of Oklahoma. In 1982, OCS was established as a state entity under Oklahoma law (74 O.S. Section 245). The Survey maintains an extensive array of climatological information, operates the Oklahoma Mesonet, and hosts a wide variety of educational outreach and scientific research projects.
The Oklahoma Mesonet is a world-class network of environmental monitoring stations. A joint project with Oklahoma State University, the Mesonet consists of over 100 stations — at least one in each of Oklahoma’s 77 counties — reporting quality-assured data every five minutes.
A partnership with Louisiana State University, the Southern Climate Impacts Planning Program (SCIPP) assists organizations with decision making that builds resilience by collaboratively producing research, tools, and knowledge that reduce weather and climate risks and impacts across the south-central United States.
