The Danish Society of Atmospheric Research is a forum for scientists to meet and exchange information on new results, strategies, and trends affecting research. The society is open for individual membership, both from universities, sector research institutes, and private industry.

The society normally organises a yearly conference. However, in 2003 no conference is held.

The chairman of DSAR is Ole Hertel (National Environmental Research Institute, Roskilde), and the secretary is Niels Otto Jensen (Risų).
