The infrastructure of the Chair of Climatology reflects the objectives, methods and needs of the
research projects. The Urban Climate Observatory (UCO) Berlin serves the long-term, cross-scale
research of weather, climate and air quality in Berlin and the surrounding area. The UCO consists
of automatic weather stations of the Urban Climate Observation Network (UCON), meteorological
measurement towers and instruments for ground-based remote sensing. A further essential part of
the infrastructure is the section IT Services, which is responsible for maintenance and development of
hardware and software as well as associated services at the Chair of Climatology. The Experimental Laboratory is
completing the infrastructure. Among other things, it serves the development of hardware and software
solutions for the acquisition, analysis and management of atmospheric data and carries
out stationary and mobile measurements.
