Nine of the world´s leading climate scientists are calling for major international investment to develop a new generation of climate models that can answer fundamental questions about the predictability of future precipitation and related extreme events.
In a new study in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Dr. Oliver Gutjahr (Universität Hamburg, Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M)) and his colleagues Dr. Johann Jungclaus (MPI-M), Dr. Nils Brüggemann (Universität Hamburg, MPI-M), Dr. Helmuth Haak, and Prof. Jochem Marotzke (both MPI-M), investigate for the first time in a global storm- and eddy-resolving (5 km) model the interaction of atmosphere and ocean during a katabatic storm in the Irminger Sea off the coast of…
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) is successfully involved in the new EU project EERIE (European Eddy-RIch Earth system models). Principal Investigator is Prof. Dr. Jin-Song von Storch from the department “The Ocean in the Earth System”.
Prof. Hartmut Grassl was awarded the Max Born Medal at the annual meeting of the Federation of German Scientists (VDW) for his services to the climate debate.
Dr. Claudia Stephan (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology) and her colleagues Dr. Julia Duras, Dr. Lucas Harris, Dr. Daniel Klocke, Dr. William M. Putman, Dr. Mark Taylor, Dr. Nils P. Wedi, Prof. Nedjeljka Žagar and Dr. Florian Ziemen published a new article in the journal Tellus A: Dynamic Meteorology and Oceanography. The authors investigate the complex, multiscale nature of atmospheric variability in 40-day long integrations of five different global storm-resolving models with…
In a publication in Weather, a journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, Prof. Jochem Marotzke (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology), Dr. Sebastian Milinski (currently NCAR, Boulder, USA) and Dr. Chris Jones of the Met Office, UK, answer questions about global warming.

A team of researchers around Dr. Johann Jungclaus from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) has published a paper in the Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems documenting the ICON Earth System Model Version 1.0, the first coupled ocean-atmosphere-land model based on the ICON system.

Subsea permafrost is a previously overlooked component of the climate system. In a study published in The Cryosphere, the authors Stiig Wilkenskjeld and Victor Brovkin from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and their former colleague Matteo Puglini together with Frederieke Miesner and Paul P. Overduin from the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Oceanic Research have made a first step towards including subsea permafrost processes in an Earth System Model. The study highlights that…

Dr. Laura Suarez-Gutierrez, scientist in the department “The Ocean in the Earth System” at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, successfully applied for a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship. At the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich and the Institute Pierre-Simon Laplace (IPSL) in Paris, she will be studying the most devastating but physically plausible combinations of extreme heat. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology warmly congratulates her…
