🌧️ Water vapour and modelling

I am a PhD student supervised by Bjorn Stevens and Marco Giorgetta. My PhD projects focuses on the role of water (vapour) in the atmosphere: Despite being only a minor constituent of the current terrestrial atmosphere, water (vapour) plays an important role in shaping the Earth's climate; it influences radiation, convection, and dynamic processes.

Currently, I am investigating how precipitation and evaporation change the atmospheric mass and affect the dynamics of a tropical cyclone, using the atmosphere model ICON-A.
