Weather Observatory

The beautiful, 290 square foot observatory offers an impressive and expansive view of the sky as well as spectacular vistas of the campus, city, and surrounding hills. The glass observatory extends from floor to ceiling and expands out from the southern end of the third floor. This allows direct observation of clouds, thunderstorms, fronts, and other weather phenomena coming from the west, southwest, south, southeast, and eastern directions. Home to the Oneonta WeatherCam, the observatory is also equipped with computers for comparison of the visual events with remotely sensed satellite and radar data.
