Projects

Current project

  • "Investigations of the convective greyzone" in the framework of theHans Ertel Research Group on Clouds and Convection*. The project is part of the WGNE initiative on the convective greyzone. 

  • Development of a scale-independent cloud process parametrization for global climate models (Extramural Research Program, German Weather Service (DWD); taken over from Johannes Quaas*, project executed by Vera Schemann*)

Former projects:

  • "Evaluation and improvement of the cloud parameterization in an Earth System Model using statistics of ground-based remote sensing observations and implications for climate feedbacks"
    (joint project of MPI-M (Johannes Quaas*) and University of Hamburg (Felix Ament*) in the framework of CliSAP, Integrated Climate System Analysis and Prediction. More information can be found here.)

  • "High-resolution Modelling of Clouds and Gravity Waves: Scale Analysis, Numerics and Validation (link)" (in the framework of the Pakt-Initiative of the Leibniz-Association within the Priority program "TextRisikoreiche Vorhaben - High-Risk Projects", 2008-2009)

  • "Spectral microphysics in weather forecast models with special emphasis on cloud droplet nucleation (link)" (in the framework of the Priority Program "Quantitative Precipitation Forecast", 2004-2008)
