A recent study led by Peishan Chen, during her PhD internship in the ADP group, reveals that mixed Rossby-gravity and inertia-gravity waves play a key role in cross-equatorial circulation associated with convection over the subtropical western North Pacific in boreal summer — an aspect not captured by the traditional Gill...

EUMETSAT is nearing full approval of the EPS-Sterna mission, a constellation of polar-orbiting microsatellites designed to deliver an unprecedented stream of microwave observations of atmospheric temperature, humidity and clouds, data essential for more accurate weather prediction.

Warm congratulations to Katharina M. Holube on the successful defense of her PhD thesis, entitled “Effects of dynamical processes on atmospheric Kelvin wave variability,” on 27 November. Katharina has been the first Fast-Track PhD student in atmospheric sciences at UHH. Her papers with some of the thesis results can be...
