AMBER

The aim of the proposed junior research group is to investigate current and future interrelations between human health and climate change in the context of active mobility (cycling, walking, public transport). The research group aims to assess and foster synergetic effects of behavior change ...

BINGO

Komlan Agbeko Kpogo Nuwoklo, Christos Vagenas, Edmund Meredith

The project aims at providing practical knowledge and tools to water managers affected by climate change to better cope with climate projections and near-term climate predictions (decadal predictions). The work package led by the Institute of Meteorology of Freie Universität Berlin will ...

Natural Hazards and Risks in a Changing World

Fischer, Madlen

A graduate research school with the University of Potsdam, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Helmholtz Centre Potsdam German Research Centre for Geosciences GFZ. P3: Spatio-temporal response of extreme precipitation to climate change and decadal climate variability I1: ...

OpenUCO

Why is it important to understand and investigate urban climate? Considering the rapid urbanization and increasing urban population, the city of Berlin is constantly changing, particularly in comparison to rural areas. This transformation is accompanied by negative health conditions that are ...

Urban Climate Under Change (3DO+M)

BMBF-Project Urban Climate Under Change [UC]² Joint project: Three-dimensional observation and modelling of atmospheric processes in cities ( 3DO+M ) Sub-project 3 : Evaluation and analysis of PLALM-4U w.r.t. extreme precipiation on the basis of observations. With the second phase of ...

KARE-Citizen Science (KARE-CS)

Christopher Böttcher, Jonas Lehmke, Andreas Trojand, Bianca Wentzel

KARE-Citizen Science (KARE-CS) brings climate change adaptation and the public together and is specifically targeted at students and teachers (high school, middle school and high school).  The central goals of the project are: Sensitizing students and their social environment to the more ...

ArcClimEx (ClimXtreme)

Dr. Dörthe Handorf (AWI), Univ.-Prof. Dr. Uwe Ulbrich, Univ.-Prof. Dr. Henning Rust

Oct 01, 2019 — Sep 30, 2022

The project aims on better understanding of those changes in weather and climate extremes over Central Europe that are linked to Arctic climate change by modified largescale circulation. We quantify the impact of the Arctic changes, on recent and future changes in extremes over Central Europe. ...

BLOCKING

Andy Richling

Development of Indices for large scale atmospheric blocking situations and their impact on climate variability

CALIBRATION (MiKlip II)

This project aims at developing and implementing post-processing approaches for (re-)calibrating the MiKlip decadal prediction ensemble; addressing the typical problems encountered for decadal predictions, i.e. relatively small ensemble sizes and limited availability of hindcast-observation pairs. ...

ECO (MiKlip II)

Grieger, Jens, Andy Richling

ECO covers the coordination of the Module E; it integrates the individual evaluation efforts and organizes scientific exchanges with the other modules and WPs in MiKlip II. Stakeholder/end-user interaction required for the orientation of the evaluation system to end-user needs will be ensured in ...

SFB1114

Christoph Ritschel

Coupling a multiscale stochastic precipitation model to large-scale atmospheric flow is part of the Collaborative Research Center SFB1114 : Scaling Cascades in Complex Systems. A stochastic precipitation model is investigated for means to be linked to atmospheric flow via the use of the ...

STOC (MiKlip II)

Ines Höschel

This project investigates the relationship between the ocean state and European windstorms in the MiKlip decadal prediction system. Relevant oceanic variables and the associated time scales for windstorm development are identified. These results are the basis for the model validation of oceanic ...
