Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss

Research and development: current projects

The activities of MeteoSwiss cover the domain of meteorological and climatological research and development, and involve a regular collaboration with domestic and foreign universities and research institutes as well as with other national weather services. The goal of this involvement consists of applying the latest findings for the benefit of the population and the economy.

 

In this section we present important and current research and development projects.
