+====== Current Group Structures and Members =====
-Our department on numerical weather prediction has about 90 scientists in house, plus a network of partners at the Max-Planck-Institute (MPI), the German Climate Computing Centre (DKRZ), the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Hans-Ertel-Centre (HErZ) in Munich, Bonn/Cologne, Frankfurt, Hamburg and Berlin and the COSMO Consortium for Small Scale Modelling (Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Romania, Greece, Russia, Poland, Israel).
+**Deutscher Wetterdienst** is a federal institution with a strong business area of research. The department for Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) has about 115-120 scientists in house in four divisions (55-60 permanent). There are 7 leading scientists directly reporting to the NWP department head and/or head of research, including the four division heads. All other scientists report to the four division heads in my department:
+  * FE11 Division Head on Data Assimilation and Predictability
+  * FE12 Division Head on Observations Modeling and Verification

-Our in-house scientists in Data Assimilation (state 02/2021) are listed in the following.
+Also, there are several PhD students in my group.
-Following data protection laws I have removed all personal information about group
-members from this website. Currently there are 37 members in my group, plus some
-phd students with main and co-supervision, one person is on parental leave.
