Feb28Seminar by Prof. Nili Harnik — Turbulence and waves in a dry and moist tropical planet – Can we get large planetary scale structures from small scale tropical convection?
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Satellite image-movies of clouds show an intricate variety of shapes of cloudy-areas moving around and changing constantly, on a multitude of spatial scales. Specifically, we see an organization of convection […]

Seminar by Prof. Dominik Weiss — Towards a Low Pollution Future – Lessons Learnt from Leaded Gasoline
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Humans have released an overwhelming amount of pollutants that fundamentally alter global biogeochemical cycles, threaten public health, and affect ecosystem functioning, which intimately links with climate change. Managing chemical pollution […]

Seminar by Dr. Ingo Bethke — Atmospheric circulation key driver of observed regional sea level change
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Anthropogenic ocean warming and land ice melting is certain to cause regional sea level changes with societal impacts. Regional trends from climate models, however, poorly match the 30-year satellite record, […]

Seminar by Dr. Filippa Fransner — Phytoplankton Predictability in NorCPM1
KST 10:30 – 11:30 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Phytoplankton dynamics has been shown to be predictable up to three years ahead in tropical and subtropical seas, while several studies indicate less predictability at higher latitudes. Whether this low […]

Seminar by Prof. Qimin Deng — The Role of Semi-annual Cycle in Modulating Seasonality Changes of Surface Air Temperature over China and its Mechanism
KST 14:00 – 15:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
Taking the semiannual cycle of surface air temperature (SAT) into account in fitting the finer structure of the seasonal cycle, this study reveals the specific role of the semiannual cycle […]

Online seminar by Dr. Valerio Lembo — Meridional heat transports and the general circulation: from global scale to extremes
KST 17:00 – 18:00 | Join us online click here
Poleward meridional heat transports are the fundamental driver of the inhomogeneous solar radiation absorption by the Earth’s climate system that sets the general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean in […]

Seminar by Prof. Niklas Schneider — A Plea for the Study of Spiciness
KST 10:00 – 11:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
The evolution of thermal anomalies in the ocean are key to climate fluctuations such as El Nino and longer term decadal variability. Away from the surface, the propagation of thermal […]

Seminar by Dr. Ja-Myung Kim — Response of natural phytoplankton assemblage to two emerging environmental treats (ocean acidification and warming) using controlled mesocosm experiments
KST 15:00 – 16:00 | 1010 (Jasmin) – Integrated mechanical engineering building
A third of CO2 released by burning fossil fuels since the industrial revolution has ended up in the ocean. The absorbed CO2 subsequently lowers the pH level, and the temperature of the […]
