The Arctic is heating up particularly fast as a result of global warming – with serious consequences. The widespread permafrost in this region, where soils currently store twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, is thawing. Scientists are using increasingly detailed climate models to investigate what this means for the global climate and which striking feedbacks need to be taken into account.
In recognition of his commitment to international scientific collaboration, the American Geophysical Union honored Guy Brasseur with the Kaufman Outstanding Research and Unselfish Cooperation Award.
Our research requires us to seek out the most talented, creative and passionate individuals. This compels us to draw from the greatest possible pool of talent. To do so we work to expand opportunities and combat ingrained biases to help us better draw from historically under-represented populations, as therein lies the greatest untapped potential. Open and non-discriminatory cooperation, as well as an environment of equal opportunities is crucial for these efforts to be successful. As part of…

The Fridtjof Nansen Medal, one of the most important prizes for oceanography, will be awarded to Tatiana Ilyina, Professor at the University of Hamburg and Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, in 2025.
Over a period of more than three months, scientists have collected data on cloud formation in the Atlantic with the HALO research aircraft, and repeatedly performed flights underneath the EarthCARE satellite for joint measurements. This campaign, called PERCUSION, was led by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the German Aerospace Center and has now come to an end.
In a position paper, the German Climate Consortium, of which the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology is a member, has made recommendations on how to deal with the widely discussed 1.5°C target in climate policy. According to the paper, the target is no longer achievable, but it cannot be abandoned either.
Renowned researchers meet at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in order to discuss current and future work in the line of Klaus Hasselmann’s contributions to climate science.
On the occasion of 50 years of collaboration between the Max Planck Society and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a Chinese delegation is currently visiting the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, intensifying a long-standing important partnership.
A wind system in the tropical stratosphere that can influence the seasonal weather along many latitudes – the quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) – could change in the course of global warming. However, the simulation of the QBO has so far been a weak point in many climate models, even for current climate conditions. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology have now tested a new approach to simulating the QBO with the high-resolution climate model ICON – with promising results.
Imagine a future where climate science offers the appropriate tools to predict and thus help mitigate the impacts of climate change. This future is within reach – with an array of advanced climate models that are currently being developed. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology is at the forefront of these efforts: It coordinates and participates in a number of national and international projects that are paving the way toward a new quality of climate projections.
