The research group Polar Meteorology focuses on physical processes in the polar troposphere including its interactions with ocean and sea ice. This is done to understand processes on the spatial scale less than 50 km.
Key aspects are:
We make use of the polar aircraft Polar 5 and Polar 6, the Meteorological Observatories, the research vessel Polarstern, automatic weather stations (AWS), and the high performance computer, all from AWI.
Our research contributes to Topic 2 (Ocean and Cryosphere in Climate) of the Helmholtz Research Programme PoF IV.
