Welcome on the webpage of the working group Modelling of Cloud Aerosol Dynamics Interactions. We are part of the Institute for Atmospheric Physics at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz.

What are we doing?

We explore the role of clouds in the climate system by conducting research projects using observational data and weather prediction models. For our research we collaborate with a range of national and international researchers. We also provide teaching for students on topics related to our research.

Who are we?

Our team consists of researchers – ranging from students to senior persons. We are working jointly on various projects related to clouds, provide lectures and seminars to students, and supervise student theses.

What are we researching?

We explore the role of clouds in the climate system and how clouds interact with tiny solid and liquid particles – the so called aerosols. We also study the impact of clouds on the atmospheric flow. Our research contributes to understanding the role of clouds in the climate system and to accurately represent these processes in weather prediction models.

What are we teaching?

We offer a range of lectures and seminars ranging from how to write scientific papers and the basics of weather prediction models to advanced courses in cloud physics and cloud dynamics.
