We supply trade and industry with measurements and evaluations in the field of environmental meteorology and geophysics. These measurements are carried out with state-of-the-art technology.

In agriculture, which is highly dependent on weather, decisions on the right moment to water the crops and on when to harvest and what pesticides to use are taken with our help.

We provide the media with news and forecasts for a period of up to ten days.

Law courts and insurance companies use our comprehensive data archive to support their judgements of damage.

Our forecasts help the road winter service to increase road safety, reduce personnel cost and cost of material and preserve the environment by using not more than the required amount of grit and thawing agents.
