Our forefathers
Vilhelm Bjerknes, Harald Sverdrup and Bjørn Helland Hansen. Polar expeditions and the theoretical foundation of modern weather forecasting. A wind of history blows through the corridors of our institute.
The physics of air and ocean
Storms, ocean currents, raindrops, avalanches, heat waves and CO2 exchange, it all boils down to physics. At the Geophysical Institute we explore the driving forces of nature.
