Aircraft spies gravity waves being sucked into Antarctica’s polar vortex

Media Reports & Press Releases | Mai 12, 2020

Researchers solve puzzle of how mountain-generated atmospheric waves wind up in hot spot The Southern Ocean is famously stormy, home to waves taller than telephone poles. Yet 50 kilometers overhead, the weather is just as tempestuous, if less obviously so. Powerful waves in the air break and crash, dumping energy into the stratosphere and disrupting

Clouds from every angle

Media Reports & Press Releases | Januar 22, 2020

The EUREC4A field study is aimed at solving one of the great mysteries in relation to climate change When it comes to predicting the extent of global warming by the end of the century, clouds are one of the greatest uncertainty factors. Cumulus clouds in lower layers of the atmosphere, reflect sunlight, thereby cooling the
