🎓 Congratulations to Raphael Pistor on successfully defending his #PhD! 👏

In his thesis “Sedimentation effects in subtropical stratocumulus”, Raphael explored how microphysical processes influence the response of stratocumuli under global warming.

We’re incredibly proud of this achievement and excited to see what comes next for Raphael! ✨

Light stratiform precipitation associated with a weakening warm front and mid-level altostratus/altocumulus has ceased. Subsidence in the post-frontal airmass, decreasing mid-level RH, and stabilized lapse rates are promoting sky clearing and enhanced nocturnal radiative cooling. No significant CAPE observed; convection unlikely. Mobile Snapshot #meteorology #weatherdynamics #cloudphysics
