The International Meteorological Institute in Stockholm (IMI) was created in 1955 by a decision of the Swedish Parliament with the objective "to conduct research in meteorology and associated fields and to promote international scientific co-operation within meteorology". This decision was a result of initiatives taken by Professor Carl-Gustaf Rossby, strongly supported by the former Minister for Foreign Affairs of Sweden, Richard Sandler.
The most important function of the institute is to provide opportunities for foreign scientists to work in Sweden for varying periods of time in close collaboration with their Swedish colleagues.
The institute is financed by contribution from the Swedish Government. Much of the research described below is financed through the Department of Meteorology at Stockholm University of which IMI is an integral part.
