Its headquarters are located in Vienna, with subsidiaries in the federal states of Salzburg, Tyrol, Styria, and Carinthia.
Although affiliated to the Austrian Federal Ministry for Science, Research and Economy, the ZAMG was granted partial legal capacity in 1991, paving the way for certain commercial activities.
ZAMG is responsible for all activities usually carried out by national weather and geophysical institutes, such as the gathering and the storage of meteorological data, continuously surveying Austria’s climatological and geophysical state as well as providing information, advice and warnings in case of natural or environmental disasters.
At ZAMG, applied research in the meteorological and geophysical domain is carried out, often in close collaboration with domestic and international institutions.
In addition, ZAMG represents Austria in major international organizations such as the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), and is the lead partner in large international projects such as Meteoalarm, INCA-CE, and the EUMETNET Nowcasting Activity.
