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
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 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. The Instruments were deployed on the German research
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
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
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
Within the ESA GOME Evolution project, two different total column water vapor (TCWV) products are developed and applied to the satellite instruments GOME, SCIAMACHY, and GOME-2:
1. The "climate" product
