Technology Transfer |
| |
|
|
 |
|
Innovative technologies often emerge in the marketplace
due to research conducted at universities, federal laboratories,
and other not-for-profit institutions. Technology transfer
is one of UCAR's
six primary goals. Through the UCAR
Foundation, the fruits of our research are made available
for private firms to adapt into commercially viable products.
Software and educational training modules developed within
NCAR and UOP are also examples of UCAR's technology transfer
activity. By commercializing knowledge and technology,
the foundation amplifies the benefits of publicly supported
science and establishes independent sources of revenue
to help support further research at NCAR and UOP.In addition
to licensing technology directly
to private firms, the foundation also invests in business
development as a means of bringing the fruits of
UCAR research to society. |

WSDM
Technologies
The Weather Support to Decision Making system provides a maximum amount of weather
information at a glance. This UCAR-developed technology requires minimal training
to operate and no special meteorological knowledge to interpret. Peak Weather,
CLH of Minneapolis, Minnesota, and WDT of Norman, Oklahoma, created this
joint venture to bring three key WSDM technologies to the aviation industry. |
