<b class="">Air Quality Forecasting and Public Outreach</b>. STI meteorologists issue daily weather and air quality forecasts for over a dozen cities across the U.S. These forecasts are disseminated to air quality agency websites and local and national media.
STI meteorologists also develop forecast tools and provide forecast training to agencies worldwide.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>

<b class="">Weather Research for Wind Energy.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>STI scientists are working with U.C. Davis to improve meteorological forecasts to support real-time wind energy production decisions. As part of this project, STI staff
have deployed and are now operating instruments (sodars, ceilometers, radar wind profilers, and microwave radiometers) to continuously measure meteorology in the lower troposphere. Data from these instruments will be used to improve the physical parameterizations
in the weather forecast models and improve initial conditions for input into the model.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
