The Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD), is a public institution with partial legal capacity under the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. DWD is responsible for meeting meteorological requirements arising from all areas of economy and society in Germany. The core tasks are weather forecasting, issuing warnings on weather-related hazards, climate monitoring throughout Germany as well as the assessment of climate change and the provision of advice and guidance on climate change adaptation. The DWD operates the national climate archive, where long-term data series are stored as a basis for climate change research and monitoring. DWD’s supercomputing centre processes and stores weather bulletins from all over the world, preparing them for further use by e.g. public institutions, the industry and the media.
