The Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research is a scientific laboratory studying the cloud processes that produce lightning, hail, and rain, located in the Magdalena Mountains of central New Mexico.
Workman, the former president of the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (then the New Mexico School of Mines), and others, including Nobel laureate Irving Langmuir, the namesake of the laboratory.
The laboratory is located just south of South Baldy, the highest peak of the Magdalena mountains, at the southern end of the main ridge crest of the range, at an elevation of 10,679 ft (3,255 m).
The Magdalena Mountains offer favorable conditions for the study of storms because of their frequency during the summer.
The lab occupies the Langmuir Research Site, a congressionally-designated area within the Cibola National Forest, and operates under a Special Use Permit from the US Forest Service.
