Mission & Vision

The mission of the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Laboratory is to advance the understanding of the meso- and microscale aspects of weather and climate, and to apply this knowledge to benefit society.

The Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology (MMM) Laboratory is motivated by the societal need to improve information and strategies regarding high-impact weather, and continues to investigate the predictability of hazards on short-time scales, and statistics of extremes on decadal-time scales.

We are also exploring ensemble prediction and better ways to convey information within a rapidly changing environment. These efforts, coupled with fundamental research to improve simulation tools and understand processes, allow MMM to lead the community toward next-generation prediction capabilities.
