Department Climate Dynamics

We aim to advance our fundamental understanding of global climate dynamics by employing a unique research strategy that involves systematically combining a hierarchy of models with principle-based theories. Our focus centers on exploring the mechanisms that govern large-scale climate change patterns across various regions, from the tropical Pacific to the polar areas, and understanding the interconnections of these regions. A key aspect of our research involves investigating tightly coupled multi-scale processes – cloud radiation, atmospheric circulation, and ocean dynamics.

Scientific Working Groups

Workshop Tropics

The TROPICS WG is a joint group between CLIVAR Climate Dynamics Panel, CLIVAR Pacific Panel, and WCRP CFMIP, with an aim to better understand the mechanisms behind the formation of tropical SST warming patterns across the past, present, and future...
