Funding by DFG Ensures the Continuation of the Project „MW-Luna“

11 May 2022

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft will provide the necessary funding for a continuation of the project “MW-Luna”, which started in September 2019. It takes advantage of occasional observations of the Moon with satellites exploring the atmosphere with microwaves. Such events are perfectly suited for checking the fidelity and uncertainty of instruments in space. The aim of the second part of this project is now to use the improved reliability of these data for resolving the ongoing dispute about the considerable discrepancies between satellite derived temperature trends and the results from climate model simulations.
