Program Description:

Atmospheric Science within OSU is at the forefront of advancing knowledge in ocean–atmosphere interaction, climate variability and change, and atmospheric boundary layer processes. Work on these three themes takes advantage of the unique structure and strengths of COAS, the College of Forestry, and the College of Agricultural Sciences. Advances in understanding and simulating atmospheric boundary layer processes directly support applications to geographically localized studies of climate and weather, which is of particular value to agriculture, forestry, and the economic development of the Pacific Northwest.

Major research initiatives in the area of climate variability and change require expertise in observing and modeling of physics and chemistry of the atmosphere and in the modeling and analysis of climate variability. Critical to all of the areas is the expansion of modeling and observing capabilities in atmospheric meso-scale, boundary layer, and cloud processes.
