The Office of the State Climatologist is dedicated to enhancing the
interaction among climate and weather professionals/researchers in Vermont
and its environs. Some of these efforts represent a continuation of the
activities of the Vermont Weather Users' Group. Others are collaborative
ventures with agencies and institutions around Vermont. To date, the
following activities have taken place.
