From Fieldwork to the Literature: ORCESTRA Overview Paper Published
In 2024, the ORCESTRA field campaign examined cloud organization in the tropical Atlantic using three research aircraft, two ground stations, a…
How can Thermokarst Lakes be Incorporated into Climate Models?
Thermokarst lakes are numerous and dynamic and play a significant role in the Arctic hydrology and climate. Until now, however, there has been no way…
Researchers Identify Three Phases of Climate Change in the Tropical Pacific
Experiments with a climate model reveal that the tropical Pacific responds to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide levels in three distinct phases.…
Why Did the Deep-Sea Ecosystem in the Eastern Mediterranean Collapse 10,000 Years Ago?
During a dramatic climate change around 10,000 years ago, most bottom-dwelling organisms in the eastern Mediterranean Sea died. Using climate…
What Principle Determines Climate Statistics?
Weather appears chaotic and random, which leads researchers to describe the climate using statistical quantities such as variances or spectra. While…
Climate Models With High Resolution in the Ocean Can Better Represent European Heat Waves
The North Atlantic significantly influences the weather in Europe. For instance, a cold spell in the subpolar North Atlantic can lead to a heat wave…
Deforestation Leads to More Extreme Weather Events in the Amazon Region
If the Amazon rainforest were completely cleared, extreme precipitation, heat stress, and high wind speeds would occur more frequently. This is the…
Stability of the Greenland Ice Sheet: When the Ice Loss Becomes Irreversible
In a pre-industrial climate, the Greenland Ice Sheet can take on four different steady states, as demonstrated by simulations using a fully-coupled…
New Generation of Climate Models Sheds First Light on Long-Standing Pacific Puzzle
Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean accompanying global warming.…
Fewer Storms, More Extremes
Storms over the northeast Atlantic and the German Bight regularly cause major damage, placing a strain on people and the environment. At the same…
Study Reveals Previously Unknown Teleconnection Between Northern Hemisphere Ice Sheets and West Antarctica
Changes in the Northern Hemisphere ice sheets can propagate through the climate system and affect even the remote region of Antarctica. Idealized…
How Ocean Eddies Influence the Intensity of Tropical Cyclones
Depending on whether they carry warm or cold water, ocean eddies can intensify or weaken tropical cyclones. A study conducted at the Max Planck…
