Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics is a research institute dedicated to atmospheric science, climate analysis, and Earth system studies. The institute conducts observational campaigns, numerical modeling, and applied research supporting weather forecasting and climate assessment. It engages with universities, international organizations, and national agencies to advance understanding of meteorological and geophysical processes.
Founded in the 20th century, the institute developed alongside institutions such as Max Planck Society, Royal Society, Smithsonian Institution, Geological Survey of Japan, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Early collaborations involved figures and organizations like Vilhelm Bjerknes, Carl-Gustaf Rossby, Richard A. Fleming and centers such as European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, Met Office, Deutscher Wetterdienst, Météo-France and Japan Meteorological Agency. During the Cold War era the institute exchanged data with WMO, NASA, NOAA, USSR Academy of Sciences and institutes including Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and Institute of Atmospheric Physics (CAS). Post-Cold War expansion saw partnerships with Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, World Meteorological Organization, European Space Agency, European Commission, United Nations Environment Programme and national research councils such as National Science Foundation. Influential projects intersected with programs led by James Hansen, Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann, Phil Jones and agencies like IPCC and Hadley Centre.
The institute’s mission aligns with objectives pursued by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, European Research Council, Horizon 2020, Copernicus Programme and national funding bodies including Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft and National Natural Science Foundation of China. Research themes echo work by Edward Lorenz, Jule Charney, John von Neumann, Vladimir Keilis-Borok and explore processes studied at NOAA Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, California Institute of Technology and Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Key focus areas reference methodologies from Ensemble forecasting, theories advanced by Lewis Fry Richardson, Turing, and techniques developed at Princeton University, University of Cambridge, University of Oxford, ETH Zurich and Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.
The institute comprises departments comparable to divisions at Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, British Antarctic Survey, CSIRO, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Geological Survey of India and Chinese Academy of Sciences. Leadership models resemble governance at University of Copenhagen, Heidelberg University, Sorbonne University, University of Tokyo and University of California, Berkeley. Administrative units coordinate with agencies such as European Space Agency, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, African Union and UNESCO while scientific boards include members from Royal Society, National Academy of Sciences, Academia Europaea and Pontifical Academy of Sciences.
Instrumentation includes systems comparable to those at NOAA, ESA, JAXA, EUMETSAT, IRIS, GEUS, UK Met Office, Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Aerospace Corporation. Observational platforms mirror capabilities of GPS meteorology initiatives, Doppler radar networks like NEXRAD, satellite programs such as Sentinel, GOES, METEOSAT, Aqua (satellite), Terra (satellite), AIRS, and oceanographic support like Argo (oceanography), TAO/TRITON and ARGO float. Laboratory facilities support isotope analysis methods used by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory and seismological arrays similar to IRIS and USGS networks.
The institute offers graduate programs and professional training in cooperation with University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, ETH Zurich, MIT, Stanford University, University of California, Los Angeles, Peking University, Tsinghua University, University of Toronto and McGill University. Outreach initiatives parallel public engagement by Smithsonian Institution, Natural History Museum, London, American Meteorological Society, Royal Meteorological Society, European Geosciences Union and Australian Bureau of Meteorology. Public products and curricula reference standards set by International Baccalaureate, UNESCO, World Meteorological Organization and educational publishers like Cambridge University Press and Oxford University Press.
The institute has contributed to projects comparable with Coupled Model Intercomparison Project, Paleoclimate Modelling Intercomparison Project, Global Climate Observing System, Copernicus Climate Change Service, Argo, GEWEX, CLIVAR, SPARC, International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme and ILTS. Contributions have informed assessments authored by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, policy inputs to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, and datasets used by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, National Centers for Environmental Prediction, Hadley Centre and Met Office Hadley Centre. Notable scientific outputs include advances in dynamical meteorology building on work by Vilhelm Bjerknes, Carl-Gustaf Rossby, Edward Lorenz, Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann.
International collaborations include long-term ties with European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, World Meteorological Organization, European Space Agency, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, CSIRO, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, British Antarctic Survey, EUMETSAT, EUMETNET, ECMWF, Copernicus Programme and regional meteorological services such as Météo-France, Deutscher Wetterdienst and Met Office.
