The meteorological institute performs scientific research and provides public services on the sciences of the atmosphere and meteorological geophysics, hydrology, geomagnetism and magnetohydrodynamics.
The institute studies the physics, chemistry and dynamics of the atmosphere on a macro-, meso- or micro-scale.
