FIELDS OF ACTIVITY

	The oceanograpy section deals with the acquisition and processing of tracer data from the oceans. Research is focussed on the inner-ocean circulation, which is known to have a significant impact on the temperature balance of the ocean, and thus to influence the global climate on earth.
	The section of physics and chemistry of the atmosphere is composed of several science teams. Research is made in the field of trace gas analysis using Fourier Transform Spectroscopy (FTS) and other methods, aerosol analysis, and satellite data retrieval and scientific support for the GOME and SCIAMACHY projects.
	The working groups in the remote sensing section are doing atmospheric science using microwave sensors from the ground and from science aircrafts. Other groups of this section are using satellite data to do special cartography of surface properties such as sea ice maps.
	Only a few years ago, the postgraduate course environmental physics for students from all over the world was established, and has been very successful from the start.
