[1] Apart from meteorology, it is also involved in monitoring as well as investigating weather phenomena, astronomical events, hydrology and research in astrophysics, climate change, aeronautical engineering, and renewable energy resources across various parts of the country.

Till 1991, PMD was providing aviation weather services to defence forces through regular deputation of meteorologists to PAF.

The main training for meteorologists is, however, imparted by PMD at Pakistan Institute of Meteorology and Geo Physics Karachi, through formally recognized courses.

PAF's main Met offices are located in Karachi, Jacobabad, Shorkot, Sargodha, Mianwali, Rawalpindi, Kamra, Risalpur and Peshawar.

[7] Since its establishment, the PMD has become one of the leading governmental scientific institution in guiding the government in environmental and space policy formation.

[14] The semi-annual PJM, which accepted submissions from scientists across the world, was: ...an international journal on the Dynamics, Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and with papers across the full range of the atmospheric sciences... [covering] achievements and developments not only in the field of meteorology but also in other disciplines like Agrometeorology, Hydrology, Biometeorology, Seismology, Remote Sensing, Climate dynamics and variability, Weather Systems and Numerical Weather Prediction, Global warming and Climate change.
