Model simulations of water and energy fluxes in the subsurface-landsurface-atmosphere system (SLAS) are important ingredients to climate and weather prediction, flood forecasting, water resources management,
The international HAPPI-MIP (Half a degree Additional warming, Prognosis and Projected Impacts - Model Intercomparison Project) initiative [1] has been launched in response to the announced intent of the
Recently, the aerosol microphysics submodel MADE3 was introduced as a successor to MADE and MADE-in. It includes nine aerosol species and nine lognormal modes to represent aerosol particles of three different
HD(CP)2 is a BMBF funded German-wide research initiative to improve our understanding of cloud and precipitation processes and their implication for climate prediction. The specific objectives for the
The Halo Microwave Package (HAMP) comprises microwave radiometers with 26 channels in the frequency range between 20 and 183 GHz and a 35 GHz cloud radar. This instrument suite was designed to be deployed
Aerosols affect life on earth in several ways. They play an important role in the climate system; the effect of aerosols on the global climate system is one of the major uncertainties of present climate
The ReKliEs-De (Regionale Klimaprojektionen Ensemble für Deutschland) project (i.e. CERA.CORDEX-Reklies, see there), produced many downscaled regional climate projections. These regional (=Germany and
In cooperation between the Bundesamt fur Seeschifffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH), the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) and the University of Hamburg (UHH) a new climatological data product of hydrographical
The consortial project ESCiMo targets on coupled chemistry-climate-simulations using version 2.51 of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts – Hamburg (ECHAM)/Modular Earth Submodel System
The hindcast simulations were conducted as contribution to the Helmholtz Climate Initiative REKLIM (Regional Climte Change), a joint research project of the Helmholtz Association of German research centres (HGF). http://www.reklim.de/
The joint objective of the Project is to investigate the effects of global climate change on structure and functions of agricultural landscapes on a regional scale and to work out projections for their
