  1. The #volcanic eruptions 🌋 of #Hunga 2022 attracted a lot of attention as they hurled large amounts of water vapor💧into great altitudes of the #atmosphere, considerably increasing stratospheric moisture. However, there is a second, indirect pathway, leading to increased moisture fluxes into the stratosphere after volcanic eruptions. #MPIM_scientist Clarissa Kroll find that for #Pinatubo-magnitude eruptions both pathways can be comparable.

  2. Eureka it is!
    Using the observations from the #EUREC4A field campaign, #MPIM_Scientist Geet George and #UHH research scientist Raphaela Vogel with #LMD in Paris show that the subtropical #clouds are not diminished by warming. Their findings negate the predictions of some #climate models as the cloudiness is supported by the mesoscale motions, which the models don't incorporate.
