Jule Radtke receives 2023 CFMIP-GASS early career scientist award
Jule Radtke, postdoctoral researcher in the joint CLICCS working group on Drivers of Tropical Circulations of the Max Planck Institute for…
Methane emissions from Arctic ponds are sensitive to warming-induced vegetation changes
Arctic ponds are important sources of methane emissions, and knowledge on their role in the future methane budget is lacking. A new study led by…
Tracking the partitioning of rain
Can land receive more rain than the ocean? One might think that the obvious answer is “Yes”. But land and ocean are two components of a coupled…
Berlin Summit for EVE — Summit Statement
The summary statement of the Berlin Summit for Earth Virtualization Engines (EVE) issues an impassioned call for international cooperation to advance…
From the Arctic to the tropics: permafrost soils and methane
A new study led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, in collaboration with scientists from the University of Hamburg, shows…
How do the ups control the downs within deep convective clouds?
In convective storms, the air that goes down is almost as important as the air that goes up. These convective downdrafts influence the termination of…
Permafrost hydrology plays an important role in global climate simulations, new study shows
Earth system models exhibit large inter-model differences in the simulated climate of the Arctic and subarctic zone, with varying sea ice…
Tropical wetlands drove methane changes since the last glacial
In a new study in Climate of the Past Dr. Thomas Kleinen and Prof. Victor Brovkin, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, together…

The effect of climate perturbations on the timing of Heinrich events
Throughout the last glacial period (ca. 65,000-15,000 years before present) periodic ice discharge events from the North American ice sheet, known as…
Is climate deterministic or stochastic?
Prof. Jin-Song von Storch shows in a new paper that climate variability on ultra-long timescales is, contrary to common understanding, not determined…
What the development of global climate models at the km-scale teaches us about tropical convection
Accurately capturing location, diurnal as well as seasonal variability of the tropical rainbelt, over land and over ocean, has remained beyond reach…
Component concurrency increases the parallel efficiency of Earth system models
In a recent study in the journal of Geoscientific Model Development Leonidas Linardakis and his colleagues demonstrate how coarse-grained component…
