Atmospheric Measurement and Simulation
With over two decades of research and service projects within the National Wind Institute
(NWI), the Atmospheric Measurement and Simulation research pillar has built a foundation
of multi-scale measurement and simulation capabilities. Our specialty is in linking
advancements in fundamental understanding of atmospheric science to other scientific
communities (e.g. engineering, agriculture, social sciences, and health) that depend
on the proper characterization of the atmosphere. By responsively adapting our basic
research interests and cutting-edge facilities and technical staff to new problems
we accelerate the conversion of scientific advancements to positive societal impact
at and across the interface between disciplines.
