Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA)

The Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) is a research organization that studies weather and atmospheric phenomena. It is a partnership between NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) and Colorado State University. CIRA focuses on developing better weather prediction tools, understanding climate patterns, and advancing atmospheric science. Their work helps improve weather forecasts, inform public safety measures, and contribute to scientific knowledge about the Earth's atmosphere. By combining scientific research with practical applications, CIRA plays a vital role in enhancing our understanding of weather systems and climate changes.
