The section Physics of the Atmosphere at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) in Potsdam, Germany, invites applications for a PhD position (m/f/d) funded within the Transregional Collaborative Research Center TR172 on “ArctiC Amplification: Climate Relevant Atmospheric and SurfaCe Processes, and Feedback Mechanisms (AC)³” (www.ac3-tr.de) by the German Research Foundation (DFG, Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft). Within the TR172, AWI together with the collaboration partners (Universities of Leipzig, Cologne and Bremen, TROPOS) aim to better observe, understand, and simulate processes leading to the current drastic climate changes in the Arctic. Specifically, the title of the PhD project at AWI is: Moisture intrusions into the Arctic: Process understanding and impacts Focus of this PhD project will be the systematic assessment of anomalous atmospheric moisture transport into the Arctic, related processes and its climate impacts. Moisture intrusions contribute to Arctic amplification due t...
