Welcome

Welcome to the Department of Meteorology, the only one of its kind in the entire CSU. We provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the atmosphere and prepare them for careers in the atmospheric sciences. Meteorology faculty maintain active research programs that benefit the science community and enhance our students' learning environment.


What's New   
August, 2008

The Bay Area Winds Page is now run at San Jose State University. The wind model, which produces the wind field displayed on the winds page, was originally developed by Francis Ludwig. The Department of Meteorology at San Jose State, in particular Douglas Sinton, has handled the data gathering system for the wind page since its inception. Mike Voss and Bill O'Shaughnessy recently ported the model and display system over to SJSU. The archive system, a favorite of local meteorologists, weather enthusiasts, and environmental engineers, is once again operational and has most of the data back to 1995.
