GW-TP / GW-ICE
Gravity-waves impact on ice clouds in the tropopause region (Spichtinger, Dörnbrack, Klein, Achatz)
In the second phase of MS-GWaves, the project GW-ICE replaces the project GW-TP. It investigates the impact of gravity waves on the formation and evolution of ice clouds in the tropopause region. For this purpose MS-GWaM will be extended by ice cloud physics, which was developed in the first phase of MS-GWaves. Beside the impact of vertical motions as driven by gravity waves on microphysical properties of ice clouds, the radiative properties of these clouds and thus their impact on climate will also be addressed.
