We are interested in the processes that establish Earth’s climate and that cause it to change. Our interests gain impetus from the fact that human activity is amplifying the atmosphere’s greenhouse effect, making it imperative to know how this change will affect Earth’s climate.
We are interested in understanding how atmospheric water conditions Earth’s climate, and climate change. This leads us to think in a process sort of way, and also be interested in observations, which are well adapted to quantifying processes, like the life-cycle of storms, or the interaction of waves in the atmosphere with systems of winds.

Climate science for oceans
JPI Climate & JPI Oceans Joint Transnational Call on the Next Generation Climate Science in Europe for Oceans
Oceans play a key role in the climate system and are also affected by climate change. As confirmed by the IPCC special report on ocean and cryosphere, ocean dynamics are a major modulator of weather and climate including future trends and extremes. However, there are still uncertainties in the understanding and quantification of key climate-ocean interactions and the ocean’s buffering capacities for absorbing heat and CO2. This joint call aims to address these uncertainties.
