Schwerewellen

Schwerewellen stellen ein wichtiges Problem der Subgitterskalenmodellierung und -parametrisierung für Atmosphäre und Ozean dar. Unsere Forschung strebt nach einem verbesserten Verständnis der Dynamik dieser Wellen, und nach einer verlässlicheren Darstellung ihrer Effekte in Wetter- und Klimamodellierung.
