DMI provides meteorological knowledge and data across the Realm of Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland, including surrounding waters and airspace. Its responsibilities cover weather, climate and the marine environment, including weather forecasts, warnings of hazardous weather, ice information for Greenland and future climate scenarios for climate adaptation in Denmark.

DMI is a public institution that serves society and advises citizens and authorities on the impacts of weather, climate and marine developments. Its 2024–2028 strategy aims to deliver quality-assured weather data to society and to develop data and forecasts using new technologies.

DMI traces its history back almost 200 years; the institute in its current form was established in 1990 through the merger of the Meteorological Institute, the Aviation Weather Service and the Armed Forces Weather Service. It has approximately 360 employees, mostly at Sankt Kjelds Gaard in Copenhagen, with staff at the air bases in Karup and Skrydstrup and at the weather service in Nuuk, Greenland. It is organised into seven departments and has a research and development department of just over 70 researchers and PhD students. DMI also trains its own team of meteorologists each year.
