Information on Covid-19 (Coronavirus SARS-CoV-2) and its effects on the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is an internationally renowned institute for climate research. Its mission is to understand Earth's changing climate.
The MPI-M comprises two departments, runs an international PhD programme together with the University of Hamburg, and hosts independent research groups.
The Atmosphere in the Earth System
The Ocean in the Earth System
PhD Programme IMPRS-ESM

This year we are back again with our weekly Christmas Quiz: The #Quizmas ❄️⛄️🎉 Our first question is: What is the average maximum daytime temperature at our #BarbadosCloudObservatory on Christmas Eve? #EUREC4A #BCO 🇧🇧

What drivers extreme #HeatStress? #HumidHeat, a major thread under further #GlobalWarming, brings potentially devastating socioeconomic and health impacts. Find out how such extreme humid heat occurs and which factors control its development here: ➡️agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/20… pic.twitter.com/ZR5WxlJdRc

How can machine learning help predict the climate? J. Huang from @nvidia and our director B. Stevens discuss the development of a digital twin of the Earth with the help of GPU-accelerated computing and #machinelearning to improve regional climate predictions. @EddytheGent twitter.com/IEEESpectrum/s…

#IMPRS candidate M. Prange and co-authors @CENunihh show that – contrary to previous assumptions – elevated moist layers can be resolved by satellite-based instruments when temperature-induced errors are minimized. They demonstrate this in a case study: doi.org/10.5194/amt-14… pic.twitter.com/QqOP874VWJ

How does an organized convective system behave under the influence of a mean flow? Jung @HJung_m et al. explore this using a radiative convective equilibrium framework. Interested? Find out more in their paper: bit.ly/3jZDJ5a #climatescience @EGU_ACP pic.twitter.com/RQvIPIJiOl

Every year the @gcarbonproject calculates anthropogenic CO2 emissions and fluxes into natural CO2 sinks like the ocean and the biosphere. The most recent report features novel contributions from #MPIM_scientists @ilitat and P. Landschützer. #Globalcarbonbudget2021 pic.twitter.com/BujblfqkiX
Our Research
Scientists at the MPI-M investigate what determines the sensitivity of the Earth system to perturbations such as the changing composition of its atmosphere, and work toward establishing the sources and limits of predictability within the Earth system. For that purpose MPI-M develops and analyses sophisticated models of the Earth system. Targeted in-situ measurements and satellite observations complement the model simulations. [read more]
