PANDOWAE is a research group (FOR896) of the DFG  and has the aim to contribute to the improvement of  the quality of  high-impact weather (HIW) forecast. The group will represent a strong German contribution to the  "World Weather Research Programme" THORPEX of the World Meteorological Organisation WMO.  It was applied for six years and will be organised in two phases for each three years. The first phase is granted and will last until 2011. Research is divided into three areas. Tools are data of several operational forecast models work will also be done on further development of the models and development innovative interactive weather forecasting systems.
