CSU President William Morgan visited Herbert Riehl at the University of Chicago to discuss the idea of developing a sub-program in atmospheric science within the Civil Engineering Department

The department's first graduate student, James. L Rasmussen, talks with US Senator Peter Dominick on the occasion of the dedication of the Foothills Campus Building.
Department formally established
Ph.D. program started
In 1966 CSU officially asked the Department to manage and develop the research facilities at Christman Field, just north across Laporte Avenue from the Department. (The field was Fort Collins first airport and a small exhibit with historical details is in the Fort Collins Museum). CSU had been given the field and its older hanger buildings years earlier and the Department needed facilities for instrument research in several areas as well as a place to host airborne research planes. At the time the airport also was used by an active CSU Ram Flying Club. A relatively newer facility on the site was the Departments Atmospheric Simulation Lab being used for nucleation, dispersion and cloud chamber research. Professors Steve Cox, Tom Vonder Haar Peter Sinclair and colleagues remodeled one of the old hangers as an instrument machine shop supervised by Mr. Charles Wilkins, Senior Instrument Fabricator. Cox lead a team of scientists and engineers involved with surface, balloon-borne and aircraft measurements of solar and infrared radiation. From their base at Christman Field they participated and were co-leaders in numerous national and international field programs. Sinclair and colleagues were involved in numerous airborne research projects on severe storms and turbulence. From Christman Field, Sinclairs Cessna 207 carried a package of instruments for airborne research, including studies of thunderstorm outflow boundaries by Dr. Jim Purdom (CSU, 1986) and Sinclair. Professor Vonder Haar, Cotton and others were active with the Flying Club. Many students departed Christman with Vonder Haar in his Cessna 201 Turbo for trips to research field sites (White Sands, NM; Miles City, MT; etc.) and to science meetings in Omaha, Salt Lake City, etc. A large number of students worked with instrumentation at Christman and it was used for class launches of rawinsondes and other hands on instrument learning.
New Atmospheric Science Building established at Foothills Campus on top of the hill
Establishment of the Colorado Climate Center with Tom McKee as the first Colorado State Climatologist
CSU contracted with Flight Test Research, Inc., of California who provided an experienced test pilot named Jim Lucy. Dr. Sinclair rode in the back seat running the instrumentation after selecting the storm to be penetrated. Most flights were made over northern Colorado and western Nebraska in thunderheads of 35,000 to 45,000 feet where the plane encountered high turbulence, lightning, and hail.
The plane was nicknamed "The Gray Ghost"; which became its call sign. The CSU F-101 was returned to the Air Force and is now located at the Air Museum in Topeka, Kansas.

Establishment of the NOAA Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere
In 1982, on the occasion of the Departments 20th Anniversary celebration, a number of leaders in Atmospheric Science in the US provided unsolicited statements and remarks congratulating the Department of Atmospheric Science for ranking among the top three in the US. They were Dr. Earl Droessler, Chief Scientist of NOAA; Dr. Eugene Bierly, Director of the NSF Atmospheric Science Division; Professor Verner Suomi from Wisconsin (an AMS Rossby Award winner); Dr. Richard Hallgren, Director of NOAAs National Weather Service; and others. (Droessler, Bierly and Suomi all served as Presidents of the AMS and Hallgren later became its Executive Secretary. Dr. Droessler had earlier been one of the NOAA co-founders of CIRA with Professor Vonder Haar and the faculty of 1979-80). In addition, at the 20th Anniversary Dinner, Professor Peter Hobbs of the University of Washington presented Vonder Haar and the faculty with a surprise gift. It was a red and white t-shirt styled after a popular AVIS rental car commercial of the time. It was labeled in bold letters Number 2. This ascribed 2nd position to our Department, following, of course, the No. 1 ranked Atmospheric Science Department at Washington, widely recognized as one of the most outstanding in our field.
On October 4, 1984, the Space Shuttle Challenger was launched at dawn from Cape Kennedy carrying the Earth Radiation Budget Satellite (ERBS). The ERBS principal instrument (ERBI) and 2 identical ones launched later on the NOAA-9 and NOAA-10 satellites were developed over an 8-year period by a national team of CSU/NASA/NOAA/Ball Aerospace/TRW scientists and engineers. Professor Tom Vonder Haar of the Department was the Lead Scientist along with Dr. Robert Curran and Mr. Ed Harrison of NASA, Dr. Herb Jacobowitz of NOAA and Dr. Ed Vande Noord of Ball. Ball Aerospace of Colorado built the satellite and it was launched from the Shuttle by Ms. Sally Ride, Mission Specialist, using the robotic arm. The entire Earth Radiation Budge Experiment (ERBE) was very successful with data used for climate research by thousands of scientist around the world. Instruments on ERBS collected data for more than 20 years.
Development of Regional Atmospheric Modeling System (RAMS)

CHILL NSF National Radar Facility moved to CSU (Greeley)

Atmospheric Science-CIRA Research Center (ACRC) Building dedicated
A field trip of Professor Tom Vonder Haar's ATS737 class to Ball Aerospace in Boulder. Tom and the students are in the "semi-clean" room in which face masks,
head caps and booties were not required. The early construction of CloudSat (launched about 3 years later) is in the background of these images. The 1.7 m radar antenna
constructed at JPL and the solar panels were yet to be added.

CIRA personnel visited Ball Aerospace to see the progress in the construction of CloudSat.

After 15 years of effort, the National Research Council has came out with rankings of Atmospheric Science, Meteorology, and Oceanography departments. There are many categories in the NRC data, but CSU's Department of Atmospheric Science came out number one in a number of categories. This ranked CSU as one of the top two colleges in the country.
