🌪️ ☀️ Storms & Radiation began with a major challenge: the energy budget in our climate models was out of balance. Has that problem been solved?

✅ Yes! In recent model development cycles, researchers identified and fixed the energy leaks. However, there’s more progress to highlight:

☁️ Thanks to higher-resolution models, we can now simulate #clouds more realistically. This has revealed that convective cloud organization plays a significant role in the Earth’s energy budget.
🌬️ An aerosol and dust scheme has been integrated into one of the models, enabling us to study climate effects from pre-industrial times to the present.
🌧️ Studies of extreme precipitation confirm that such events increase by 7% per degree of warming, in line with theoretical predictions.
🔬 Increasing model resolution brings simulations closer to physical theory.

These findings enhance our understanding of the Earth system and improve the reliability of #ClimateModels for future planning.

🚨 Video alert! Our latest multimedia piece is out and we are excited to share it with you ▶️

🔎 What is this video about?: The visualizations in this video provide a colorful and creative representation of our modelling endeavors. Additionally, the captivating images demonstrate the playful fluctuations of various components of our Earth system, including clouds, aerosols, thermal radiation, and temperature, over the course of the present and future years — specifically between 2021 and 2030.

📽️ Video creation: This illustrative work has been produced with the Earth System models used by #nextGEMS: ICON and IFS-FESOM. #ICON is a model was developed by the @MPI_Meteo and the German Climate Computing Center, while hashtag#IFS-FESOM developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts.

🔔 Don't miss our joint seminar next week!

🔜 Join us on July 15th, 2024 at 2pm CEST as we delve into the fascinating world of #EarthSystemModelling and #ClimateScience with European Eddy-Rich Earth System Models #EERIE

This weekly seminar series called "Storms, Eddies and Science" explores the cutting-edge research topics our projects are tackling💡

It's free and you can get the link to the session here: https://eerie-project.eu/event/efficient-spin-up-of-earth-system-models-using-sequence-acceleration/

#CINEA #H2020 #ClimateChange #Weather #Floods #scicomm

📆 The next #ScienceArt piece from our #nextGEMS calendar, created by researcher Lukas Kluft, paints a scene where Potential Vorticity (PV) softly visualises #eddies in the ocean. 🌀

💡PV in weather is like the spin of swirling water in a sink, but also considering how deep the water is. 🥼Commonly, scientists use PV as a measure to predict storms.
