Meteorology Station Laboratory

The third floor of Science Building I is home to a 1,580 square foot area that houses numerous meteorological instruments and enables faculty to integrate modern technology into the curriculum. Laboratory instruction for all meteorology classes are taught in this “smart” (meaning it has state-of-the-art audio visual equipment for lectures and other presentations) classroom. The space incorporates a new podlike layout for team projects, and has direct access to the new computer laboratory as well as the weather observatory. Meteorological instruments display and record the current rooftop temperature, dew point, wind direction and speed, solar radiation, and precipitation in digital format for later retrieval and research.
