The nature of weather
One important motivation for our research is to develop better weather forecasts and to further our understanding of atmospheric processes on different space and time scales. In addition to development of models for weather forecasts, we also work on improvement of measuring techniques, to obtain valuable data for studies of the physical processes in the atmosphere. Studies of solar and terrestrial radiation are also important aspects of our research.
