Institute of Atmospheric Physics CAS
The Institute of Atmospheric Physics, is a public research institution, which is one of the research institutions of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The main scientific focus of the institute is the research of processes in the Earth's atmosphere and near space. This is a broad area of science from research and forecast of atmospheric phenomena occurring in the lower parts of the atmosphere studied by researchers from the Department of Meteorology, to the causes and effects of climate change and its impact on society studied by scientists from the Department of Climatology, to phenomena in the upper parts of the atmosphere and ionosphere, which is studied at the Department of Ionosphere and Aeronomy. Follow-up research of physical processes in the near space and in the solar system is carried out by the staff of the Department of Space Physics and the working Group of Numerical Simulations of Heliospheric Plasma. In addition to basic research, the institute's staff participates in the design and development of scientific instruments and methods or in monitoring and special observations both on the Earth's surface and high in the atmosphere and near space. The obtained scientific data are further shared across the scientific community in the framework of rich international cooperation and the research results are published in recognized scientific journals.
