Working in conjunction with the University of North Dakota (UND),
JDO School for Aerospace Sciences, the Regional Weather Information
Center's (RWIC) primary research goal is to develop and apply rapid
advancements in computer and atmospheric sciences to both
operational and research aspects of contemporary meteorology. The
mesoscale analysis and forecasting facility utilizes 3-D visualization
and world-wide hierarchical databases management to support research
and operational activities including agricultural weather, transportation
weather, atmospheric analysis, and educational research. RWIC has
unique support from UNDs own Doppler weather radar providing
up-to-the-minute weather activity information for real-time research
studies. A high-speed data link to the UNDs Cray J-90 supercomputer,
and real-time access to a world-wide network of automated weather
observing stations places RWIC on the cutting edge of technology as
a recognized leader in the research of atmospheric sciences.
