Amelie Schmitt - PostDoc
Amelie Schmitt
Background:
• Studies of Meteorology and Oceanography at the University of Hamburg
• PhD focussing on convective processes over sea ice at the Alfred-Wegener-Institut / University of Bremen
Research interests:
• Exchange processes between the atmospheric boundary layer and the underlying surface - over irrigated fields, vegetation in rain forests or sea ice
Tasks:
• Model development of the regional climate model REMO: implementation of irrigation schemes
• Coupling of REMO with the hydrological model CWatM
• Model tuning and testing
