The 2026 workshop of the Aerosol-Cloud-Precipitation-Climate (ACPC) initiative will be held on September 28-30, 2026 at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany and online.
ACPC aims at a better scientific understanding of the interactions between aerosols, clouds, precipitation, and climate at a fundamental level. The goal is to identify, disentangle, and quantify signals of impacts of aerosol perturbations on clouds, precipitation, and radiation, considering adjustments and feedback processes by synergistically exploiting observations and models across scales.

Public transport in Hamburg
Tickets for Hamburg's public transport network (HVV) can be purchased online, via the HVV app, or from ticket machines available at most stations.
The network is divided into fare zones A–F. If you do not plan to travel far beyond the city limits, tickets covering zones A and B should be sufficient.
For the duration of the workshop, a weekly ticket may be the most convenient and cost-effective option for getting around Hamburg.
