The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (Max-Planck-Institut für Meteorologie; MPI-M) is an internationally renowned institute for climate research. Its mission is to understand Earth's changing climate.[2] Founded in 1975, it is affiliated with the Max Planck Society and the University of Hamburg, and is based in Hamburg's district of Eimsbüttel. Its founding director was the Nobel laureate Klaus Hasselmann. The current managing director is Jochem Marotzke.
Organization and Research
[edit | edit source]The MPI-M comprises three departments and hosts independent research groups. They also conduct work with national and international partners.[3]
Departments:[3]
- Climate Physics - investigates how water in the atmosphere, on the land surface, and as exchanged with the ocean, influences Earth’s climate, and its response to perturbations
- Climate Dynamics - aims to understand global climate dynamics with a focus on exploring the mechanisms that govern large-scale climate change patterns across various regions
- Climate Variability - investigates the role of the ocean in climate variability and climate change on all timescales from hours to millennia
Independent research groups:
- Multiscale Cloud Physics (Lise Meitner Research Group)
- Climate Vegetation Dynamics
- Environmental Modeling
Cooperative Work:[3]
International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS)
[edit | edit source]The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the University of Hamburg jointly run the International Max Planck Research School on Earth System Modelling (IMPRS-ESM) to promote high-quality doctoral research into the Earth's climate system. The school conducts research in four primary research areas: atmosphere, land, ocean, and the human dimension.[5]
