Ruisdael Atmospheric Testbed

As part of the Ruisdael Observatory, this testbed explores similarities and differences among different models or between models and observations. By interactively presenting data from various sources, the testbed showcases the data sets to inspire the user for new research and model improvements.

Currently, you are viewing the pre-release (beta-version) of the testbed. In the future, the testbed will contain more data sets and/or more functionality.

Ruisdael Observatory

The Ruisdael Observatory is a national initiative, a nationwide observatory for measurements of the atmosphere. It was set up to enable more concrete, detailed forecasts of the weather and air quality.

The Ruisdael Observatory, named after the 17th century painter Jacob van Ruisdael, famous for his cloudy skies, will be modelling the entire Dutch atmosphere with a high resolution of only 100 metres. In doing so, Dutch research is positioning itself on the front line of atmospheric science.
