Marine Meteorology
Research Foci
The aim of our research is to enhance the understanding of the role of atmospheric and oceanic processes that drive climate variability and change over timescales ranging from months to centuries. A key focus lies in the numerical modeling of complex ocean-atmosphere-carbon interactions to decipher the roles of the atmosphere and oceans across this wide spectrum of timescales. For instance, we examine the types of internal variability and climate responses to (natural and anthropogenic) radiative forcing, as well as their interactions with the carbon cycle. Our research domains span from the middle atmosphere and ocean surface to the full depth of the ocean's water column.
