Team VHMOD

It consists of three sections with varying tasks, namely: conducting research on numerical weather prediction (NWP), developing meteorological applications and performing atmospheric remote sensing.

The department focuses on:

  • research and development of weather forecasting systems, methods and products
  • maintenance and monitoring of the operational systems from nowcasting to short range forecasting
  • provision of optimized weather forecast products to the customer service at the ZAMG
  • development of training and educational material specifically for meteorologists in the forecasting service.

 

The department of forecasting models works closely with international organizations and groups, e.g. WMO, ECMWF, ALADIN, LACE, EUMETNET, EUMETSAT etc., and is conducting research projects together with national and international partners.
