  1. 🧳 🌏 Last month, a delegation from #MPIM and #DKRZ visited key research partners in Singapore, Shanghai, & Beijing.🇸🇬🇨🇳 The trip highlighted strong synergies and laid the groundwork for future collaboration in #ClimateModeling, impact assessment, and #AI-driven innovation.🧠 It reinforced the value of sustained partnerships in advancing climate research and supporting societal resilience—and of science in connecting people from different parts of the world. 💫

  2. Paul Beckwith, a climate science educator, goes through James Hansen's recent warnings about a coming "Super El Niño".

    This video (24:48) assumes a small amount of background in math and science, enough to read time/temperature graphs, but is generally quite accessible in its explanations. He walks through a lot of good stuff like how the El Niño / La Niña cycle works, what some of the "forcings" are that are driving some of these things, why things like aerosols matter, what different models show, what the consensus predictions have been and why Hansen's predicting something substantively stronger.

    It's a pretty worrisome set of things, but Hansen has been an important voice in the climate conversation, and I think Beckwith's presentation is pretty level—trying to just walk through the information dispassionately in a way that can help you understand the science part.

  3. We were happy to welcome MSc and BSc students from Wageningen University & Research to the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg yesterday. 🌍

    Through presentations on #ClimateModeling, ocean #biogeochemistry, and #cloud observations, the students got an inside look at our research. In small-group discussions with early-career scientists, they could also ask questions about PhDs and careers in #ClimateScience. We finished the visit with a rooftop view over Hamburg 📸

  4. 🌿 Last week, the #MPIM hosted a colloquium on "Vegetation-Climate Interactions," celebrating the 70th birthday of our former director, Prof. Martin Claussen.
    The symposium featured talks on the #GreenSahara, past #monsoons, tropical tree‑cover dynamics, and #ClimateModeling—all of which sparked lively discussions.
    Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this event truly memorable! 🥂

  5. #ICON team earns international recognition in #HPC🏆👏
    What an outstanding achievement! Using the ICON Earth system model, a team led by #MPIM + #DKRZ successfully simulated the full Earth system at an unprecedented grid spacing of 1.25 km. For this, they received the Gordon Bell Prize for #ClimateModeling, awarded at #SC25. The team also included experts from #JSC, #ETH Zurich, CSCS, #UHH, & #NVIDIA. We're thrilled, proud, & grateful for this wonderful recognition! 🎉

  6. A team led by #MPIM & #DKRZ has received the prestigious HPCwire Readers’ Choice Award🏆, presented at the #SC25 conference in St. Louis, MO, US. It recognizes a simulation of the full Earth system with the #ICON model at 1.25-km resolution 🌐, which was carried out on the Alps & #exa_JUPITER supercomputers & achieved an unprecedented time compression of 145.7 simulated days per day. Congratulations on this outstanding achievement! 🎉 #HPC #Supercomputing #ClimateModeling

  8. 🌦️ “The small-scale matters for the large-scale!” - C. Hohenegger

    When the Storms & Land group began their #nextGEMS journey, their mission was clear: find out how explicitly resolving #storms and land-surface features at km-scale changes our understanding of #ClimateVariability.

    Over the past four years, under the leadership of Cathy Hohenegger (MPI-M), the team explored how precipitation and #temperature patterns over land are shaped by fine-scale features, such as rivers and soil moisture, and how these effects can differ dramatically from coarser #ClimateSimulations.

    The results? Surprising, and a reminder that small details can have global consequences.

    ▶️ Watch the full video, titled "Small-scale resolution reshapes our understanding of land-climate dynamics", in our Media Library (Project outcomes) to hear Cathy explain the discoveries and their significance.

  9. 🌍 Pushing #ClimateModeling to the Next Level

    What happens when you run global climate #simulations at the kilometre scale for multiple years

    In our latest blog post, we share insights from a landmark #nextGEMS study using ECMWF’s Integrated Forecasting System coupled to high-resolution ocean–sea ice models.

    These simulations capture fine-scale processes—from mesoscale #OceanEddies to #UrbanHeat patterns—that coarser models can’t resolve, offering a more realistic picture of our climate system. Along the way, the team tackled key challenges, from water and #EnergyConservation to improving the simulation of #ExtremePrecipitation and polar sea ice leads.

    💡 The results point towards more accurate, actionable climate information—but also highlight the huge computational demands of this frontier.
