Past and Future Variability of Extreme Storm Floods in the southern North Sea The low-lying coasts of the southern North Sea are particularly exposed to extreme sea levels (ESL) in form of storm floods. Due to anthropogenic climate change, the risk of flooding is expected to increase in the future (IPCC, 2019). Adequate and timely coastal protection relies on estimates of expected heights and frequencies of such ESL events, particularly of the policy-relevant high-impact-low-probability…

Is climate deterministic or stochastic?

Prof. Jin-Song von Storch shows in a new paper that climate variability on ultra-long timescales is, contrary to common understanding, not determined by the responsible internal dynamics on the same timescales. Her study is an impetus for a new way of thinking. Her result provides first evidence showing that climate as a dynamical system is not deterministic in an absolute sense.

FESTVaL

Mature thunderstorms appear as impressive weather phenomena: clusters of thunderstorms can extend over hundreds of kilometers in the horizontal and reach up to the tropopause, about 10 km, in the vertical. But the life of these impressive convective storms starts rather modestly, from small convective clouds of scale O(1 km). How these small and shallow clouds become deep mature clouds is not completely understood, but one idea is that the transition from shallow to deep clouds is helped by…

WarmWorld project at full speed

With the first day of spring we also kick off the full module-team of the BMBF-funded WarmWorld project. Within this project, the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and its partners are developing the scalability of the Earth-system model ICON for exascale applications.

What the development of global climate models at the km-scale teaches us about tropical convection

Accurately capturing location, diurnal as well as seasonal variability of the tropical rainbelt, over land and over ocean, has remained beyond reach for climate models relying on statistical representations of convection. In this context, simulations explicitly resolving convection over regional domains with fixed sea-surface temperatures demonstrated advantages in reproducing several aspects of precipitation from diurnal to sub-seasonal scales.
