Atmospheric Predictability (Prof. Daniela Domeisen)

Professor Daniela Domeisen's group focuses on the dynamics and predictability of the atmosphere from local to global scales and from days to centuries, with a focus on global remote connections in the climate system, predictability on subseasonal-to-seasonal (S2S) timescales of weeks to months, and impact analysis. We investigate the meridional coupling between the tropics and the extratropics, zonal coupling between ocean basins, and vertical coupling between the stratosphere and the troposphere. This is then translated into predictability generated from a range of long-lived atmospheric and atmosphere-ocean-land coupled phenomena. Predictability (or lack thereof) in turn allows us to indentify dynamical processes in the climate system, and to investigate potential improvements to dynamical prediction systems, impact models, and climate services.

We are located at P floor of the CHN building with an amazing view of the city of Zurich. We hope to welcome visitors and collaborators to our office soon. Until then, check out the external pagewebcam and enjoy the view!

A new interdisciplinary project called HEATaware has been funded. It is led by Daniela Domeisen and Michael Lehning (EPFL, SLF), and Maria Pyrina and Dominik Büeler are going work in this project as postdoctoral scientists. The project will investigate the skill of heatwave predictions for Switzerland several weeks ahead and the potential of such heatwave warnings as a basis for early-warning systems related to human health and alpine hazards.
