CONSORTIA/INSTITUTIONS
MPI-M
The Max Planck Institute for Meteorology 's major objective is to undertake a system analysis of the Earth System dynamics with emphasis on the Earth Climate. More specifically, aim of the institute is to analyze the natural variability in the Earth system, and assess how the system is affected by changes in land-use, industrial development, urbanization, and other human-induced perturbations. Among the tools used by MPI-Met scientists are advanced numerical models that simulate the behavior of the atmosphere, the ocean, the cryosphere and the biosphere, and the interactions between these different components of the Earth?s system.
