New weather forecast system makes predictions faster and more accurate Denmark launches a world-first weather forecast system that can provide more accurate forecasts by the hour, using just a fraction of the computing power of conventional models.
Long term funding cuts put the squeeze on DMI Asking a national meteorological institution to save two per cent each year is the wrong way to go, say scientists and industry professionals.
Danish Meteorological Institute has lost one third of its staff in four years Nearly 100 jobs in forecasting, research, and communications have been cut at DMI since 2013. We should be worried, says former DMI scientist.
Bacteria in the atmosphere cause rain Scientists think that bacteria in the atmosphere are playing an important role in making it rain.
Ancient insects reveal Danish climate secret Ice Age insects dug up from a bog in Denmark reveal that Danish winters were colder in the late Ice Age than previously thought.
The best way to remove substances from rainwater Is rainwater clean? Can it be harmful to aquatic life? And what happens when rainwater from cities is discharged to the aquatic environment?
Oceans drive climate change Researchers say that changes in the climate can be traced in the ocean hundreds of years before there is any trace of it in the atmosphere.
Thunderclouds challenge laws of nature Well-defined and detached clouds such as thunderclouds violate the laws of thermodynamics when it comes to the amount of precipitation.
New hi-tech climate research station in Greenland A new, state-of-the art research station is currently being built in the far north of Greenland. Here researchers will study how climate change affects the high-Arctic air, sea and wildlife.
Warm seas around Greenland may indicate cold European winter Past changes in ocean currents around Greenland coincided with climate change in Northern Europe. The researchers behind the discovery suggest a possible ice-cold winter in Northwestern Europe.
Warm sea currents caused the melting of Greenland’s ice It was the sea temperature, rather than the air temperature, that determined how fast Greenland’s ice cap melted at the end of the last ice age. This discovery is important for today's research into ice melt
Ice makes snow white, blue, and creaky It falls every year, but did you know that snow is ice? Ice expert Christer Jonasson from Sweden, explains the properties of the white flakes.
