Microorganisms are the engines that drive most marine processes. Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account. Marine microorganisms are crucial for ocean health.

The researchers also found that combining data from both the Maluku Strait and the nearby Halmahera Strait further improved ...

The continuous development and improvement of numerical models for the investigation of the climate system is very expensive and complex. At GEOMAR a new modular system has now been presented, which ...

Researchers have used advanced ocean modelling techniques to reveal how greenhouse gas emissions contribute to warmer oceans and resulting melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. A new study provides ...

State-of-the-art seasonal forecast systems provide predictions of unusual climate conditions in the atmosphere, ocean, land and other components of the climate. These systems are capable of predicting ...

In their model simulations, climate researchers always have to make compromises. Even with the largest computers available worldwide, they can only reproduce the real world to a limited extent.
