We have over 20 computers with numerical forecast model data and internet access in the meteorology lab in 320 Piez Hall and an observational deck on the roof of Piez. The faculty have received a Major Research Instrumentation grant from the NSF to obtain ~$160,000 worth of state-of-the-art meteorological equipment to measure the surface and upper-air properties of the near lake atmosphere. We have a continuous field research project with this equipment and the data will also aid in forecasting storms such as lake-effect snow band initiation, placement, and intensity.
