Office of Weather Programs and Projects
The Office of Weather Programs and Projects (OWPP) is a University of Oklahoma organization charged with facilitating the transfer of meteorological knowledge created within the Weather Sphere to applied meteorological projects both nationally and internationally.
The OWPP specializes in the comprehensive assessment of needs for national hydro-meteorological services as well as the associated expert training and educational services in applied meteorology required for effective national modernization. Such assessments, also known as Feasibility Studies, provide national hydro-meteorological services with a complete master plan for implementation. For each project undertaken, OWPP assembles a unique team of Weather Sphere specialists with the required expertise and appoints a senior faculty member, scientist or engineer as the project manager.
The OWPP draws on the resources of OU’s College of Engineering, College of Earth and Energy, College of Arts and Sciences, and College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences as well as several commercial meteorological, hydrological and environmental engineering firms located on the University Research Campus and elsewhere in central Oklahoma. The wealth of hydro-meteorological expertise in the Weather Sphere provides OWPP with the full range of skills and talents required to complete forward-looking Feasibility Studies and provide exceptionally effective training services.
“OWPP offers a vehicle for accomplishing the efficient transfer of the latest meteorological knowledge into practice for national hydrometeorological services desiring to quickly and effectively modernize their operations.” - John T. Snow, Director
