Research subject Meteorology and atmospheric science

Research in Meteorology and Atmospheric Science deals with the atmosphere's three layers: the Troposphere, the Mesosphere and the Stratosphere. We study how and why the atmosphere moves, how aerosols (small particles) form, are transported and interact with clouds, precipitation and solar radiation, and how this affects polar climates.

We look for the answers to these questions by going on research expeditions to the North Pole, using observations from other locations and by using satellites, rockets and ground based instruments to make measurements. The collected data are processed with machine learning and computer modeling.
