🌀 The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation #AMOC is expected to weaken due to the melting of ice in the Arctic. However, many modeling experiments are based on unrealistic assumptions. A new study by Fraser Goldsworth of the #MPIM highlights the limitations of previous experiments & ways to make them more realistic in the future by taking timing⌛ , location📍 , and source of freshwater input 💧into account.

🎉 Happy 70th Birthday to our former director Prof. Martin Claussen!

🔭 Martin Claussen, a true pioneer in Earth system research, did groundbreaking work on climate-vegetation interactions. He was the first to successfully couple a #ClimateModel with a vegetation zone model, a prerequisite for modeling climate periods of the past!

Thank you for your dedication, leadership, & unwavering commitment to science. Wishing you the very best!✨

Is tropical rain belt variability driven by self-organization of #clouds? ⛅️

We're proud to welcome Dr. Tomoro Yanase at #MPIM to investigate this question, together with #MPI_Scientist Cathy Hohenegger. 🌅

They aim to use both idealized & realistic simulations, & #ORCESTRA observations to understand how variations in SST patterns may cause variability in cloudiness across the #ITCZ 🌧️🌊🌍

Dr. Yanase’s #ResearchStay is supported by the @HumboldtStiftung & will last for 1 year from Oct 2025 🙌

🔍 We’re #Hiring: Information & Publication Manager and #Postdocs

Announcing our new group leader Moritz Günther! 🎉

As of today, Moritz's group is exploring how the land and ocean surfaces shape large-scale atmospheric circulation 🌬️. Above all: how does the coupling of the atmosphere with the land & ocean influence the circulation and its response to global warming? 🌏

Whilst Moritz's group is new, we already know him well at #MPIM. He's very popular for founding the interface seminars and his iconic pink pants!

We look forward to his group's successes! 🌅

🌍 We are glad to have hosted Abdou Aziz Coly, #PhD candidate from Université Gaston Berger, at #MPIM!

Through the @maxplanckgesellschaft ARTEMIS mentoring program, Abdou has been mentored by our scientist Romain Fiévet. They have been working together on tropical convection & #ClimateModels with locally refined grids. 🤝

This week, Abdou and Romain are attending the MPG-wide ARTEMIS #workshop in Heidelberg connecting with other #mentoring teams across the network. Great collaborations ahead!
