Ocean, convection, adaptation: three new working groups starting at MPI-M
Three new working groups recently established at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) are tackling cutting-edge issues in climate…
A new generation of models for kilometer-scale climate projections
Imagine a future where climate science offers the appropriate tools to predict and thus help mitigate the impacts of climate change. This future is…
Lennart Ramme receives Wladimir Köppen Award
Lennart Ramme, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, has been awarded the Wladimir Köppen Prize, endowed with 5000…
In years to come, the Arctic Ocean will absorb less CO2 than expected
We humans benefit from the oceans’ tremendous capacity to absorb greenhouse gases. Due to the low temperature of the water, the Arctic Ocean absorbs…
Why is climate stochastic?
A time series of a climate variable often resembles a random sequence. This apparent randomness is generally attributed to the unpredictable and…

Chao Li appointed Distinguished Guest Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences
Dr. Chao Li has been awarded a Distinguished Guest Professorship at the prestigious Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), the Chinese Academy of…
A new mechanism for synchronising Heinrich events with Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles
The northern hemisphere climate during the last glacial period (about 65,000-15,000 years before present) was dominated by two prominent signals of…
Ocean CO2 measurements: a single sailboat yacht makes a difference
Have you ever wondered how much a single measurement campaign matters when estimating the ocean's carbon sink? In a study published recently in…
What happens after a snowball Earth melts?
When a snowball Earth deglaciates, the planet transitions rapidly into a hot "supergreenhouse" climate that persists for a hundred thousand years or…
Coupled climate models systematically underestimate the radiation response to surface warming
Do climate models realistically represent the coupling between Earth’s surface warming and the top-of-the atmosphere radiation? Dirk Olonscheck,…
Towards resolving internal tides in the ocean
In a recent publication, Prof. Jin-Song von Storch together with other scientists showed that the ocean component of the ICON model is able to…
Focus: The big melt | Marie-Luise Kapsch, Clemens Schannwell
Climate change is melting the ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica and causing sea levels to rise. This could be a disaster for island states and…
