ROMIC

In ROMIC (Role of the Middle Atmosphere in Climate) we investigate the life cycle of internal gravity waves.


PANDOWAE

In PANDOWAE (Predictability ANd Dynamics Of Weather Systems in the Atlantic-European Sector) we quantify the role of diabatic processes for forecast errors associated with mid-latitude weather systems. The collaboration with Heini Wernli is a combined observational, diagnostic and modelling approach. More ...
