Soil Moisture Research at OCS is concentrated on
a variety of topics. However, the backbone of research at OCS is the Oklahoma
Mesonet. From testing new sensors, to validating satellite measurements
and model output, to participation in specialized field research programs,
the Oklahoma Mesonet provides boundless opportunities for state-of-the-art
research focused on Oklahoma. In turn, the knowledge gained from such research
projects is used to more accurately assess and predict the onset of drought
conditions, develop new technologies, and improve weather forecasting.
