Abstract Project: AWIPEV_0024

Maximilian Maahn (Univ.Leipzig)

The overarching goal of this project is to characterize clouds and cloud processes in detail at AWIPEV on a long term basis exploiting the synergy of various in situ and remote sensing instruments. Several previous studies showed that a comprehensive ground-based in situ instrument combination can be extremely useful to better interpret and constrain the remote sensing observations. In addition, the processes active in clouds during snowfall formation can be identified using optical images.
