CASA 2003-2013
CASA, the Center for Collaborative Adaptive Sensing of the Atmosphere, was established as
a prestigious National Science Foundation Engineering Center in 2003 with over
$40 million in federal, university, industry, and state funding. The
Center brought together a multidisciplinary group of engineers, computer
scientists, meteorologists, sociologists, graduate and undergraduate
students, as well as industry and government partners to conduct
fundamental research, develop enabling technology, and deploy prototype
engineering systems based on a new paradigm: Distributed Collaborative
Adaptive Sensing (DCAS) networks.
As an NSF Engineering Research Center, CASA included four academic partners: the University of
Massachusetts (lead institution), the University of Oklahoma, Colorado
State University, and the University of Puerto Rico. Other collaborating
academic institutions were the University of Delaware, the University of
Virginia, McGill University, Indiana University of Pennsylvania and
University of Colorado at Colorado Springs. Industry and government
partners included: Vaisala, Raytheon, NOAA, EWR Weather Radar Systems,
First RF Corporation, Paroscientific, Inc. and the National Research
Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Prevention (NIED) of Japan.
