Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory: Die Zukunft der Gammaastronomie
Im Jahr 1989 hat das Wipple‐Observatorium die erste Quelle hochenergetischer Gammastrahlung entdeckt. 2002 waren dann sechs Quellen bekannt, 2024 schon mehr als 300. Und das ist immer noch lediglich die Spitze des Eisbergs in der jungen Geschichte der Gammaastronomie.

Airborne quantification of Angolan offshore oil and gas methane emissions [PDF]
In September 2022, the METHANE-To-Go Africa (MTGA) scientific aircraft campaign, part of UNEP's International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) Methane Science Studies, conducted the first methane (CH4) emissions measurements from the offshore oil and

Contrail life cycle and properties from 1 year of MSG/SEVIRI rapid-scan images [PDF]
The automatic contrail tracking algorithm (ACTA) – developed to automatically follow contrails as they age, drift and spread – enables the study of a large number of contrails and the evolution of contrail properties with time. In this paper we present a

When tiny convective spread affects a midlatitude jet: Spread sequence
We investigate spread evolution by mesoscale convection from tiny initial condition uncertainty during a real event. There is significant variation among the systems in their propensity to interact with the jet stream, whereby variability in one system (due to convective and long‐wave radiative heating tendencies) tightly relates to Rossby‐like ...

Characterisation of the artificial neural network CiPS for cirrus cloud remote sensing with MSG/SEVIRI [PDF]
Cirrus clouds remain one of the key uncertainties in atmospheric research. To better understand the properties and physical processes of cirrus clouds, accurate large-scale observations from satellites are required.

Interpretable Machine Learning‐Based Radiation Emulation for ICON
Abstract The radiation parameterization is one of the computationally most expensive components of Earth system models (ESMs). To reduce computational cost, radiation is often calculated on coarser spatial or temporal scales, or both, than other physical processes in ESMs, leading to uncertainties in cloud‐radiation interactions and thereby in ...

Implication of strongly increased atmospheric methane concentrations for chemistry–climate connections [PDF]
Methane (CH4) is the second-most important directly emitted greenhouse gas, the atmospheric concentration of which is influenced by human activities. In this study, numerical simulations with the chemistry–climate model (CCM) EMAC are performed, aiming ...

On the Lifetimes of Persistent Contrails and Contrail Cirrus
Abstract Prediction of contrail cirrus persistence is highly problematic for models, in part due to a poor representation of intertwined microphysical and dynamical processes controlling contrail evolution in large‐scale ice‐supersaturated areas. Knowledge of contrail cirrus lifetimes is required to estimate their lifecycle‐average radiative effect ...

Circulation Aspects Associated With Heatwave Events Over Iraq
We find that heatwaves in Southern Iraq are typically associated with a weakening of the north‐westerly Shamal wind, which usually induces a persistent cooling effect. Different mechanisms can lead to a weakening of the Shamal wind: one possibility is circulation anomalies induced by anticyclones embedded in quasi‐stationary synoptic Rossby waves ...
