The first release of ICON-Sapphire, targeting simulations of the Earth System at kilometer scale

Do thunderstorms in the atmosphere affect the meandering of ocean currents? What is the effect of ocean eddies on the carbon budget? Investigating such questions requires simulating the Earth system at a grid spacing finer than 10 km. This is now possible with the release of the first version of the ICON-Sapphire configuration developed at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology. In the paper “ICON-Sapphire: simulating the components of the Earth system and their interactions at kilometer and…

Social change more important than physical tipping points

Illustration,Second “Hamburg Climate Futures Outlook” published: 1.5-degree goal not plausible

Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is currently not plausible, as is shown in a new, central study released by Universität Hamburg’s Cluster of Excellence “Climate, Climatic Change, and Society” (CLICCS). Climate policy, protests, and the Ukraine crisis: the participating researchers systematically assessed to what extent social changes are already underway — while also analyzing certain physical processes frequently discussed as tipping points. Their conclusion: social change is…

Florian Schütte appointed junior professor at GEOMAR

Dr. Florian Schütte, scientist in the department “Ocean in the Earth System” at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, will become junior professor at GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research in Kiel on 01.01.2023. As an observational oceanographer, he thus returns to his roots in the department of the sea-going physical oceanography in Kiel. The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology congratulates him warmly on this success.

The early 1970s is often associated with the birth of the modern environmental movement. In 1970 the first Earth day was celebrated, and Greenpeace was founded in 1971. In March 1972 the Club of Rome published its influential report entitled the “limits of growth”. The growing environmental consciousness was also felt within the scientific community. The late Prof. Reimar Lüst, who was appointed as president of the Max Planck Society in June of 1972, was committed to form a new institute to…

Observations show: assumption of a large trade cumulus reduction with global warming refuted

The response of trade cumulus clouds to warming is a major uncertainty in climate projections. In the last decade, a hypothesis was developed according to which the interplay of convection and cloud cover leads to increased warming.
