Triennial Scientific Report 2007-2009

KNMI provides advanced scientific knowledge, observations and advice on the global climate system, substantiating the efforts of the Dutch government to protect the Netherlands to the impacts of severe weather and climate change.

KNMI’s research activities lead to scientific and other publications, and to various development activities and services for external and internal users, such as the development of numerical weather and climate models, the performance of remote sensing and in-situ observations, and the construction of climate scenarios for the Netherlands.

The research activities are carried out for an important part through international cooperation, on an appropriate high-level, to ensure the availability of state-of-the-art, high-quality results and to maintain the international stature and visibility of the Netherlands.

In the Triennial Scientific Report 19 research highlights in the fields of weather forecasting, climate change, seismology are presented.
