Research
ACINN is devoted to basic research in the areas of weather forecasting, mountain meteorology, earth atmosphere interactions and ice-climate relations. Our research activity is largely supported by third-party funding. We investigate the atmosphere and the cryosphere – and their interaction – through theoretical and conceptional approaches, experimental means and numerical modeling. Detailed information on specific research themes can be found for each of the Research Units below.
Atmospheric Dynamics
The Dynamics group at ACINN is mainly concerned with aspects of dynamical processes in mountainous areas. [more]
