In his new publication, former #MPIM_Scientist D. Jiménez-de-la-Cuesta (@elessartelkont) uses a basic conceptual picture of Earth’s energy balance as well as existing knowledge on the spatial warming pattern and its effect on radiative feedbacks to show that the pattern is explained by changes in the ocean’s energy distribution due to changes in #ocean circulation.

Eureka it is!
Using the observations from the #EUREC4A field campaign, #MPIM_Scientist Geet George and #UHH research scientist Raphaela Vogel with #LMD in Paris show that the subtropical #clouds are not diminished by warming. Their findings negate the predictions of some #climate models as the cloudiness is supported by the mesoscale motions, which the models don't incorporate.

In their new publication, former #MPIM_Scientist L. Paccini (@laurapaccini) and co-author B. Stevens investigate whether an explicit representation of #convection leads to an improved representation of #precipitation in the #Amazon basin and whether the improvement is related to the representation of organized systems.

In their latest paper in Climate of the Past, #MPIM_Scientist Leonore Jungandreas et al. reveal how explicitly accounting for convection alters precipitation-soil hydrology interaction in the African humid period. It highlights significant changes in the hydrological cycle and emphasizes the importance of land processes in climate modeling. Read more here: https://cp.copernicus.org/articles/19/637/2023/

In her master’s, #MPIM_Scientist Malena Andernach investigated the impact of #Arctic clouds on the surface energy budget and on surface melting in northeast #Greenland during an intense summer melt period in 2019 by simulating #cloud properties with a high-resolution model configuration.

As of this month, former #MPIM_Scientist Dr. Florian Schütte holds a junior professorship at @geomar_en where he will focus on physical #observations of small-scale #ocean structures. We warmly congratulate and wish him all success!
