The Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) is an internationally known research and development center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
With a history of remote sensing innovation spanning more than 50 years, SSEC develops and utilizes space-, aircraft- and ground-based instrumentation to collect and analyze observations of the Earth’s atmosphere, oceans, land surface and other planetary atmospheres to improve our understanding of weather, climate and atmospheric processes.
Housed within SSEC is the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS), a world-renowned satellite meteorology research center. CIMSS is an integral partner in advancing SSEC’s mission. Research breadth ranges from the study of new instrument technologies to data analysis, visualization and product development. Numerous satellite data analysis algorithms developed by CIMSS and SSEC scientists are now used operationally in weather forecasting.
SSEC scientists are committed to sharing their efforts, tools and knowledge with the larger research community around the world.
