The nature of weather
One important motivation for our research is to develop better weather forecasts. In addition to development of models for weather forecasts, we also work on improvement of measuring techniques, to get more and better data for studies of the physical processes in the atmosphere. Studies of solar and terrestrial radiation are also important tasks.
