Dynamics and microphysics of small developing cumulus clouds Speaker: Alexander Khain 16 Sep 2024 in the large meeting room The presentation  generalizes findings from recent studies, focusing on the connection between Cu dynamic properties, such as velocity field, entrainment/detrainment, and cloud microphysical properties, such as cloud dilution rate and droplet size distribution parameters. Special attention is paid to the mechanisms of cloud-surrounding interactions. […]

Assimilation of Doppler from space in WRF model: application to WIVERN radar for the Medicane Ianos case study Speaker: Stefano Federico 19 Sep 2024 in the large meeting room Accurate weather forecasts are important to our daily lives. Wind, cloud and precipitation belong to the fundamental variables in NWP models. The WIVERN (Wind Velocity Radar […]

Department of Climatology is searching for postdoctoral researchers (max 2 years after PhD) who are interested in any of the following topics: Climate variability and climate changes Extreme weather events and their simulation in climate models Atmospheric circulation and links to surface climate Weather-related impacts on human health The position is open to candidates who […]

Ničivé zemětřesení v Turecku 6 února 2023 zanechalo svůj “otisk” i v ionosféře. Dopplerovský radar – viz. obrázek – identifikoval infrazvuk ve výškách okolo 170 km nad Evropou (a) Slovensko, (b) Čechy, (c) Belgie, vybuzený seismickými vlnami. The devastating earthquake in Turkey on 6 February 2023 left its “imprint” in the ionosphere. Doppler radar – […]

Dne 21. 5. organizujeme ve spolupráci s ČHMÚ Den otevřených dveří na meteorologické observatoři Milešovka. V rámci této akce bude zpřístupněna jižní část areálu observatoře s možností vyhlídky a v pravidelných intervalech bude probíhat přednáška o historii a současnosti měření na stanici v přednáškovém sále. Vzhledem ke stavebním úpravám a statickým úpravám na věži observatoře […]

On September 2, 2021 the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences received the prestigious HR Excellence in Research Award. We have thus joined more than 600 European scientific institutions that already have this European award in human resources area. However, by granting this certification, our work does not end. We will […]
