Jule Radtke about her Paper on Trade Wind Clouds and Precipitation
23 October 2023
What is the interaction between clouds and precipitation over the tropical Atlantic? What determines the size and structure of cloud formation, which itself feeds back on global warming? These questions where investigated by Dr. Jule Radtke from the Meteorological Institute of Universität Hamburg and her colleagues, published in the paper "Spatial organisation affects the pathways to precipitation in simulated trade-wind convection". In this video, she reports on her work on this study, inlcuding a research trip to the Caribbean island of Barbados.
