A paper by Yuan-Bing Zhao and colleagues, recently published in the Journal of Climate, systematically investigates the atmospheric circulation response to regional sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies across the global oceans. Such anomalies may arise from climate change or from systematic errors in climate models...

A reflection on classical aerology — that is the study of the atmosphere at higher altitudes — using modern techniques is just one of three main focus points of this year's meteorological field trip on Fehmarn. Students in the Master's program Atmospheric Science after their second semester learn how to plan, conduct, and...

The recently published GRL article, entitled "ESA's Aeolus Mission Reveals Uncertainties in Tropical Wind and Wave-Driven Circulations," by N. Žagar and colleagues from the Atmospheric Dynamics and Predictability Group at the Meteorological Institute and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts, is featured in...
