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 three departments, runs an international PhD programme together with the University of Hamburg, and hosts independent research groups.
The Atmosphere in the Earth System
The Land in the Earth System
The Ocean in the Earth System
PhD Programme IMPRS-ESM
Independent research groups

Why do climate models differ in their projections of dynamic sea level change? A new study co-authored by #MPIM_Scientist J. Jungclaus indicates that the reason lies in different ocean model formulations rather than variations in surface flux changes: link.springer.com/article/10.100… pic.twitter.com/tcKjDPq0U4

Unser neues Team von Gleichstellungsbeauftragten am @MPI_Meteo, bestehend aus Andrea, Dian und Hongmei, wurde Anfang des Jahres gewählt. Sie arbeiten aktiv an der Gleichstellung und besseren Integration von Familie und Beruf. Genaueres über ihre Pläne: mpimet.mpg.de/institut/chanc… pic.twitter.com/hN0I10JhDR

Our new team of equal opportunity officers at @MPI_Meteo consisting of Andrea, Dian, and Hongmei was elected earlier this year. They work actively to ensure equal opportunity and better compatibility of work and family. More details on their mission here: mpimet.mpg.de/en/institute/6… pic.twitter.com/3p4rcydTrX

The Federal Government, together with the city of #Bonn, applied for the additional branch office of @ECMWF to be established in the EU. We see a great chance to advance Weather & Climate Science in #Europe with a new facility in Bonn and would love to welcome our colleagues! twitter.com/BMVI/status/13…

M. Klockmann from @HZG_de and #MPIM_scientists demonstrate how changes in the North Atlantic subpolar gyre and its interaction with the #AMOC could have triggered abrupt glacial climate change without extra forcing. Read more here: doi.org/10.1029/2020GL… pic.twitter.com/42gWFU9HNM

A #LUMIP study with 9 #CMIP6 models lead by #MPIM_scientist @l_boysen finds: Massive #deforestation (20Mkm2 over 50 years) cools the planet—but only if no CO2 emissions are released. The detection of temperature changes could take decades. @CRESCENDO_2020 doi.org/10.5194/bg-17-… pic.twitter.com/U44MXLRLup
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]
