Each strip is that field's whole ranked pool, with the notch where Danish Meteorological Institute sits in it, in the colour of the band that rank falls in. The track under the rate is the rate itself: it carries no average mark, because the average differs by field (from about 6% in Dentistry to 21% in Economics).

Which fields of science does Danish Meteorological Institute work in?

In 2022-now, 93% of research at Danish Meteorological Institute is in Physical Sciences, 4% in Social Sciences. Its largest fields are Earth and Planetary Sciences (46%), Environmental Science (34%), Engineering (5%). It does 2.3× the world's share of Physical Sciences.
