The Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)
was established in 1980 to formalize and support cooperative research
between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA)
National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service
(NESDIS) and the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Space Science and
Engineering Center. Sponsorship and membership of the Institute was
expanded to include the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA) in 1989.
CIMSS maintains programs relating to Operational Weather Satellites,
New Instrument Development, Research Applications, Education/Outreach,
and Field Experiments. There is also access to real time GOES and
POES weather satellite imagery.
