Weather
KNMI Weather Research is aimed at improving the quality and
efficiency of the weather service in meeting the requirements of our
users. An important focus is on more precise severe weather forecasts
and providing better severe weather warnings. To this end, KNMI
weather research ranges from observations to meteorological processes
to models, applying innovative techniques and systems that fit our
user needs best.

Climate
The KNMI climate research department is the national research and
information centre for climate and climate change. An important driver
for our research is to support informed policy decisions on climate
change. For this purpose, KNMI conducts observations, develops models
and performs fundamental research on the climate system. KNMI is
dedicated to the timely provision of its data and other research
results to its scientific and non-scientific users.

Seismology
The Seismology Division is the operational knowledge and information centre
in The Netherlands for earthquakes and related phenomena. It carries
out high-level applied and more fundamental research based on
seismological and other observations such as of infrasound.
Furthermore, it functions as a European centre for the exchange and
coordination of seismological data (ORFEUS). The research focuses on
causes, effects and risks of earthquakes in The Netherlands.

Information and observation technology
The information and observation technology research at KNMI focuses on
applied research in the fields of surface observations, ground based
remote sensing, sensor networks, geo-information, GRID-technology,
visualisation and data services. In general the research covers almost
all aspects in the chain from sensor (ground- and space based), via
algorithms, to data products and their dissemination. Special
expertise exists in the fields of fully automated observations
satisfying meteorological and climatological criteria,
three-dimensional visualisation of model and measurement data, and
e-science infrastructures.
