DWD’s fully automatic MOSMIX product optimizes and interprets the forecast calculations of the NWP models ICON (DWD) and IFS (ECMWF), combines these and calculates statistically optimized weather forecasts in terms of point forecasts (PFCs). Thus, statistically corrected, updated forecasts for the next ten days are calculated for about 5400 locations around the world. Most forecasting locations are spread over Germany and Europe. MOSMIX forecasts (PFCs) include nearly all common meteorological parameters measured by weather stations.

Das Projekt "The Stylistics of New Mobility: 'Adventure Tourism' Discourses in Switzerland and New Zealand" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Schweizerischer Nationalfonds zur Förderung der Wissenschaftlichen Forschung. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universität Bern, Philosophisch-historische Fakultät, Institut für englische Sprachen und Literaturen.My postdoctoral project is an interdisciplinary one and at the cutting edge of the sociolinguistics of globalization. It explores the functions that language has within the sociolinguistic production of place-making practices in two of the worlds top adventure tourism destinations: Interlaken, Switzerland and Queenstown, New Zealand. This corpus-based study investigates the role language plays regarding place descriptions and how the style of language has changed and shifted. Existing studies of place-making within the field of tourism discourse tend to look either at spoken or written texts only. One of the main aims of this project is to take a broader and more holistic methodological approach by drawing on three distinct data sets, namely, 1,078 spoken interviews, 175 guidebooks dating from the 18th century up to 2014, as well as 2,950 pictures of the linguistic landscapes of both towns marketplaces. I incorporate qualitative and quantitative analyses to ensure representativeness of stylistic variation in language. Against the backdrop of global mobilities, my project centers on issues such as stylistic variation, cross-cultural discourses and linguistic landscapes as a means to understand how specific sociolinguistic phenomena such as language policy and multilingualism are dealt with in tourist areas. This project contributes a unique perspective on the sociolinguistic and stylistic changes and effects of tourism discourse from a diachronic perspective and the particular role of adventure tourism. Moreover, this study makes a significant contribution to the field of tourism studies, sociolinguistics, as well as contributing to the field of stylistics in which the study of non-literary text types is called for.
