We are located in the Academic and Student Activity Center (ASAC) building on the Northern Vermont University-Lyndon campus. When ASAC was built in 2009, it was specifically designed for our department. Atmospheric Sciences classrooms feature SMART technology and distance learning capabilities. We have a 2,000 square foot observation deck, and dedicated research space.
Information Technology and Equipment
The Department of Atmospheric Sciences largely relies on information technology. Therefore, we have a dedicated systems administrator who manages our data servers, the department web server, as well as maintaining two web cameras, and supporting weather-specific software, like AWIPS, IDV, and GR2Analyst, on 45 dual-boot (Windows and Linux) computers. A research-grade weather station on campus continually records weather data. We have over a decade of this data archived, which our students can access for research and v
