"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.)
