Das im Jahre 1907 gegründete Physikalisch-Meteorologische Observatorium Davos (PMOD/WRC) befasst sich mit der Erforschung der Sonne und deren Strahlung. Dazu werden hier in Davos die entsprechenden Messinstrumente entwickelt und hergestellt, welche sowohl auf der Erde als auch im Weltraum eingesetzt werden. Als Weltstrahlungszentrum haben wir zudem die Aufgabe, Referenzmessgeräte zu betreiben, auf welche sich alle meteorologischen Strahlungsmessungen weltweit stützen.

Since its establishment in 1907, the Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos (PMOD) has been studying the influence of solar radiation on the Earth's climate. At the request of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the Federal Council decided in 1970 to finance a calibration center for radiation measurement as Switzerland's contribution to the World Weather Monitoring Program of the WMO. Following this decision, the PMOD was commissioned to establish and operate the World Radiation Center (WRC). PMOD/WRC develops and builds radiometers that are among the most accurate in the world, used both on the ground and in space.
