Our research targets the physical processes that control interactions and linkages between the different subsystems of the climate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In doing so, a central theme is the relation between the local atmosphere in cold regions (including the effects on snow and ice) and the large-scale mechanisms in the climate. To decipher this relation various \u201cplayers\u201d are of interest: coupled atmosphere-ocean modes acting over thousands of kilometers; associated flows in the atmosphere which are strongly modified by high mountains over land; and the meteorological conditions in the mountains and over ice sheets, which provide the local environment for glacier and snow variability.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nMore knowledge of the causal link between these components holds great potential to better understand the functioning of our climate system \u2013 through different space\/time dimensions and from the surface up to higher air layers (the mid troposphere). This vitally extends the basis for improving climate projections for the future.<\/p>\n
