Storm Boris (2024) in the current and future climate: a dynamics-centered contextualization, and some lessons learnt Open
The response of mean and extreme precipitation to anthropogenic global warming stems both from warming of the troposphere and dynamical changes in the large-scale circulation, especially upward motions. The interaction between these two co…

Cirrus formation regimes – data-driven identification and quantification of mineral dust effect Open
The microphysical and radiative properties of cirrus clouds are strongly dependent on the ice nucleation mechanism and origin of the ice crystals. Due to sparse temporal coverage of satellite data and limited observations of ice-nucleating…

Dynamics-informed attribution of a record-shattering heavy precipitation event over Central Europe during Storm Boris (2024) Open
Statistics-based extreme event attribution is often limited by the scarce availability of data and by the potentially inadequate representation of relevant physical processes in climate models. Storyline approaches, such as the ones involv…
