Looking forward to setting out with my new Cloud Dynamics team at GIUB in September on a five-year Starting Grant from the SNSF. Our aim is to quantify how efficient different deep cloud systems are in forming precipitation in various regions of the world and in a climatological way. Using a combination of multi-platform in-situ and remote sensing observations with high-resolution numerical model simulations, we will address two key open questions about the basic working principles of the atmospheric water cycle: How much water vapor remains in the atmosphere after an intense snowstorm? And, how much rain evaporates below a cloud?

1740 was the coldest year in Central Europe of (at least) the past 600 years. A daily weather reconstruction shows the worst-case sequence of weather systems leading to this extreme.
