Regional Climate and Atmosphere

Research is focused on local to global scale changes in climate parameters and atmospheric constituents. Key issues are:

• Atmospheric observations using ground-based remote sensing (NDACC)

• Scientific case studies relating to the behavior of the atmosphere under conditions of global change

• Numerical simulation to predict future regional climate change

• Process studies relating to the interaction of regional climate change in the biosphere, hydrosphere and cryosphere

• Strategies for adapting to climate consequences and alpine geo-risks
