Since 1948, the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences (AOS) has been at the forefront of weather and climate science, with nationally recognized graduate and undergraduate programs. Our faculty have long maintained breadth and special strength in three areas: climate systems, including the ocean; satellite and remote sensing; and weather systems, including synoptic-dynamic meteorology.

How your gifts make an impact

We can maintain our reputation and the work we do because of generous gifts from alumni and friends. Your gift opens doors for and directly supports our students, faculty, and staff as they continue to transform the field and produce innovative weather and climate science of local and global significance. 

Why we need your support

AOS depends more than ever on the generosity of donors to ensure the continued excellence of our programs and resources. Our department is rapidly growing, and we need ongoing support for new faculty, staff, and students. Our priority this year is support for student participation in field experiences, such as covering costs for undergraduates enrolled in our spring 2025 Meteorological Measurements course to contribute to a project led by AOS professor Angela Rowe in Colorado.

Thanks for your support and help in shaping the next generation of leaders in climate, weather, and ocean research. On, Wisconsin!

Gifts made in support of the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences will be contributed to Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department Fund at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
