The Field of Atmospheric Science has 12 faculty members, drawn from the departments of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Astronomy, and Theoretical and Applied Mechanics at Cornell's Ithaca, New York, campus. The Field of Atmospheric Science is closely linked with the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, which is itself part of both the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and the College of Engineering, at Cornell. Many members of the Field are also faculty members in the department. As recognized fiscal units of the colleges, departments administer teaching programs, research funds, and graduate student financial support. The Field of Atmospheric Science is responsible for determining admissions of new graduate students to the Field, maintaining records of graduate student progress, nominating students for awards and fellowships, and setting guidelines for requirements within the Field. The Field does not have separate funds available for the financial support of graduate students.
