Weather
The School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences and the Institute of Terrestrial and Planetary Atmospheres (ITPA) with the dutiful assistance of the Instrument Laboratory operate and maintain several real-time data systems across Long Island. This includes three weather stations that provide to-the-minute data of the current conditions. The weather stations are located at the Stony Brook University South P Lot, the Stony Brook University Southampton Marine Station and the Stony Brook University Health Sciences Center. SoMAS also maintains three web cams: two located at the Southampton Marine Station and one on the roof of the Health Sciences Center.
Real-time data from the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, student forecasts and the Meteorology Club weather connection providing a central location for weather-related content at Stony Brook University.
