The Danish Climate Centre (DKC) at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI) provides in-depth information and advice on climate and climate change and collaborates in research projects, both in Denmark and internationally.
One objective of the DKC is to develop climate projections into the 21st century. The tasks include development of methods for seasonal forecasting, development of state-of-the art global and regional climate models and studies of climate processes. The tasks also include the use of climate models to simulate global and regional climate variability and change in the past and to predict future changes.
Another important area in DKC is monitoring of the ozone layer and UV radiation and research in the interaction between ozone and climate.
The HIRHAM regional climate model at DMI is used for simulating regional climate changes. The map shows temperature change 2071-2100 as compared to 1961-90 for one emissions scenario. Detailed climate scenarios are important for studies of impacts of climate change, vulnerability and adaptation.
