Additional comments

As of 31 July 2009 I have retired from my position at DMI. However, I have obtained an agreement with the Institute to still have an office, computer, e-mail and telephone (the above) at DMI as well as access to archived and current geophysical data. It is my plan to continue working on current research projects concerning, among others, Oersted satellite data analyses, Polar Ionospheric and Geomagnetic measurements, and Space Weather investigations.
