The Desert Research Institute (DRI) is the nonprofit research campus of the Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE), the organization that oversees all publicly-supported higher education in the U.S. state of Nevada. At DRI, approximately 440 research faculty and support staff engage in more than $27 million in environmental research each year. The Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) (formerlly the University and Community College System of Nevada UCCSN) was formed in 1968 to oversee all state-supported higher education in the US state of Nevada. ...

DRI's environmental research programs are divided into three core divisions (Atmospheric Sciences, Earth and Ecosystem Sciences, and Hydrologic Sciences) and two interdisciplinary centers (Center for Arid Lands Environmental Management and the Center for Watersheds and Environmental Sustainability).
For over a decade the Atmospheric and Dispersion Modeling Program team has been performing work focused on observations and modeling of atmospheric dispersion processes over complex terrain and coastal areas. In particular, the team is applying, developing, and evaluating mesoscale meteorological models as well as regulatory and advanced atmospheric dispersion models such as ISC3ST, AERMOD, WYNDVALLEY, ASPEN and CALPUFF. They have developed a Lagrangian Random Particle Dispersion Model that has been applied to complex coastal and inland environments. Atmospheric dispersion modeling is performed with computer programs that use mathematical equations and algorithms to simulate how pollutants in the ambient atmosphere disperse in the atmosphere. ... The term mesoscale is a size scale referring to weather systems smaller than synoptic scale systems but larger than storm-scale systems. ... Atmospheric dispersion models are computer programs that use mathematical algorithms to simulate how pollutants in the ambient atmosphere disperse and, in some cases, how they react in the atmosphere. ...
Several recent projects led to developing real time mesoscale forecasting system using the MM5 model coupled with a Lagrangian random particle dispersion model and implementation of data assimilation schemes.

The Institute for DesertResearch was established in Sede Boqer in 1974 as a result of a recommendation made by the council for higher education in 1972, followed by a decision of the Israeli government in 1973.
In 1980, The Jacob and Hilda Blaustein Foundation made a generous contribution to BGU, and the institute was named The Jacob Blaustein Institute for DesertResearch (BIDR).
The goal of the BIDR is to carry out research on the desert environment required for promoting sustainable uses of the Negev Desert and other drylands the world over.
The Joint ResearchInstitutes bring together the resources of a research-oriented university or institution, OAR and other branches of NOAA in order to develop and maintain a center of excellence in research relevant to understanding the Earth's oceans, the Great Lakes, inland waters, Arctic regions, solar terrestrial environment, intermountain west and the atmosphere.
The Institute conducts research in environmental chemistry and biology, atmospheric and climate dynamics, cryospheric and polar processes, and the solar-terrestrial environment, and brings together government and university researchers, post docs, and students from eight university departments and several NOAA laboratories in a wide-ranging array of scientific collaborations and interdisciplinary research.
JISAO is a cooperative institute between NOAA and the University of Washington and complements the research at PMEL in climate variability, environmental chemistry, estuarine processes and interannual variability of fisheries recruitment.
