We congratulate Andreas Beckert on his PhD with the title “Detection and Visual Analysis of 3-D Atmospheric Fronts – from Individual Cases to Ensembles.” In his work, Andreas has combined computer science and meteorology. The transition from traditional 2-dimensional weather maps to 3-dimensional representations of the atmosphere is a challenging task, as it involves analyzing the immense amounts of data produced by modern weather models before the actual visualization. Andreas focused on the detection of fronts, which play a significant role in our weather. The end result is impressive images that provide entirely new insights into the structure and development of low-pressure systems, warm fronts, and cold fronts.
