An increasing number of measurement data, advances in the understanding of climate physics and new powerful supercomputers [...] have meanwhile been downloaded thousands of times from the corresponding database. The second area is about the concrete application of the models for climate change predictions. Our key questions are: What possible changes will climate change bring for the polar regions, the mid-latitudes and the rest of the world? What

At the same time, we push the boundaries of climate modeling – one of our key strengths – by developing, refining, and validating regional and global coupled climate models, harnessing the power of

Climate change is not just an abstract, complex change of weather statistics. Climate change is present in the weather of every single day – and it is not the same each day!
