Definition

  • The Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University was founded in 1961 by the renowned tropical meteorologist Professor Herbert Riehl. The department was originally assembled as a part of the Civil Engineering Department, but became an officially recognized department in March of 1962. Currently, the department operates under the College of Engineering. Computing capabilities include both data analysis and modeling systems that operate mainly on clusters located within the department. The department develops and operates several models including Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS) and the General Circulation Model. Many smaller models are available to both researchers and graduate students. (en)
