Independent research groups

Application information The Max Planck Society’s Earth and Solar system Research Partnership (ESRP), comprising the Max Planck Institutes (MPIs) for Biogeochemistry (Jena), Chemistry (Mainz) , Meteorology (Hamburg) , and Solar System Research (Göttingen) , offers Opportunities in Earth and Solar System Research for independent early-career scientists. MPIs offer a richly stimulating intellectual environment and powerful infrastructure and facilities. All four institutes of the ESRP…

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.

Component concurrency increases the parallel efficiency of Earth system models

In a recent study in the journal of Geoscientific Model Development Leonidas Linardakis and his colleagues demonstrate how coarse-grained component concurrency increases the parallel workload of Earth system models and results in an increased number of compute nodes that can be used efficiently in parallel. The additional dimension of parallelism allows the scientists to extend scalability beyond the limits set by established parallelization techniques. It also offers a way to maintain…

How ice rises and rumples affect the Antarctic ice sheet

In a study in The Cryosphere, researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology examined the effect of basal friction and sea level variation on the evolution of ice rises and ice rumples using three-dimensional idealized ice-sheet simulations including the surrounding ice shelves. They show that the current state of ice rises and ice rumples in Antarctica is dependent on their past evolution.

Department Climate Physics

Department Climate Physics Department Climate Physics Our research focuses on understanding how atmospheric water conditions the behavior of the climate system. This leads to efforts to answer specific questions such as how cloud processes set the planetary albedo, how moist processes influence the structure of the troposphere, and how `water-powered' circulation systems interact with the surface and the stratosphere. Over the past few years these efforts have led to new developments, in…
