Central IT Services
IT services are provided at MPI-M by the Central IT Services (CIS) group.
The most important services of the Central IT Services are:
- Procurement, setup and management of IT hardware and software for both users (laptops, PCs) and infrastructure (servers, networks, etc.)
- Central user administration
- Provision of an efficient network (LAN, WLAN)
- Central IT help desk as a contact point for all IT-related issues
- Provision of services to support daily work (e.g. version management, project management, websites, etc.)
- Ensuring secure IT operations (failover, backup, IT security)
Detailed documentation on the IT Group’s offerings can be found in the Wiki of the institute.
An account (username and password) is required to use most IT services. Usually, an account will be created for you as soon as you have a contract with MPI-M. If you are a guest at MPI-M and need an account, your group leader at MPI can request an account for you. Further details are described in the institutes Wiki.
If you have any questions or problems using the IT systems at MPI-M, please contact the IT help desk.
Please note that questions regarding the DKRZ systems (e.g. Levante or data archive) will be answered by the DKRZ user support.

Three fellowships for George Datseris
Now at the University of Exeter, Dr. Datseris is devising a conceptual model for global cloudiness to better understand the global scale energetic impact of clouds, its fluctuations, and its dependence and impact on different climatic states. Dr. George Datseris is a postdoctoral researcher interested broadly on computational nonlinear dynamics, their applications for better understanding large scale climate, and specifically better understanding large scale cloudiness over long timescales.
Dr. Datseris joined the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in January 2020 as a postdoctoral researcher. His first project involved analysing satellite radiation measurements to better understand hemispheric imbalances in cloudiness, and how they bring balance to the hemispheric reflectance of solar radiation, a topic known as “Earth’s hemispheric albedo symmetry”. After this project he used a data-driven approach to obtain simple representations of the spatiotemporal distribution of cloudiness, that elucidate a minimal number of environmental factors that can statistically explain the distribution of cloudiness over the whole globe. During the second half of his time at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, George used insights from his second project, and invaluable feedback from his colleagues, to write the proposals that were successfully awarded the three aforementioned fellowships.
