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 

This work is needed more than ever, as a rapidly changing world finds itself with an increasing demand for weather and climate expertise, and our department faces an urgent need to supplement traditional sources of support. Our priority this year is to secure student internships, research experience, and career development opportunities that are essential for student success in a world where those opportunities have become more scarce. Last year, your support allowed us to send 14 AOS undergraduates to the American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting. This year, we need alumni and friends to step up more than ever. Generous donor support will match every gift dollar for dollar to emphasize that point.

Thanks for your support. On, Wisconsin! 

Gifts will be contributed to the Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences Department Fund – 132601570 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
