DWD’s fully automatic MOSMIX product optimizes and interprets the forecast calculations of the NWP models ICON (DWD) and IFS (ECMWF), combines these and calculates statistically optimized weather forecasts in terms of point forecasts (PFCs). Thus, statistically corrected, updated forecasts for the next ten days are calculated for about 5400 locations around the world. Most forecasting locations are spread over Germany and Europe. MOSMIX forecasts (PFCs) include nearly all common meteorological parameters measured by weather stations.

Das Projekt "One Tonne Society (OTS)" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Potsdam-Institut für Klimafolgenforschung e.V. durchgeführt. A field test of CO2 footprint reduction in private households with regard to the areas mobility, private consumption and housing energy. The One Tonne Society project prepares a business model that attempts to reduce the carbon footprints of volunteer private households in three European cities (Uppsala, Berlin, Bologna) under real world conditions. The participating households will be offered to change the way they use energy, food, and means of transportation for various purposes. The business partners involved provide the infrastructure, information, support, and measurement, while the scientific partners develop methods, analyse, monitor and inform. Together, the partners want to find out how present day consumers can embark on a journey of living a low-carbon life of one tonne CO2 per capita and year-as all humans need to by 2050 if we want to meet the two degree temperature target.
