Do clouds make the wind blow? Airborne investigations of the interplay between clouds and circulation
Which climate effects do clouds have? Under what conditions do they warm or cool the atmosphere? And what role do clouds play in shaping the…
New study: Cooling by aerosols weaker and less uncertain
The new study "Rethinking the lower bound on aerosol forcing" in the Journal of Climate, written by Prof. Bjorn Stevens, director at the Max Planck…
The hiatus in global temperature trends: No systematic error in climate models
Observations suggest a hiatus in global surface temperature since 1998, whereas most climate models simulate continued warming. What causes this…
Plant diversity may affect climate-vegetation interaction
In a new study, published in Nature Geoscience, Prof. Dr. Martin Claussen, director of the department "The Land in the Earth System" at the Max…
