KIT - Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research

The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology is the union of Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe (FZK), an independent science and research institution in Germany with a staff of about 3500 employees and Karlsruhe University, one of the first round winners of the German excellence initiative. In the area of technology and the environment, KIT devotes its attention to research and development in a wide range of areas. KIT is funded by the Federal Republic of Germany and the Land Baden-Württemberg and is a member of the Helmholtz Association of National Research Centres. Helmholtz Centres perform top-class research in strategic programmes in six core fields: Energy, Earth and Environment, Health, Key Technologies, Structure of Matter, Transport and Space. KIT has participated in and coordinated several EU cooperative projects in FP4-FP7.

 

The Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research - Troposphere Research (IMK-TRO) is part of the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK). The IMK consists of four divisions, two of which are jointly operated by the Campus South (former University of Karlsruhe) and the Campus North (former Karlsruhe Research Centre). They work on atmospheric processes in the troposphere (IMK-TRO) as well as on atmospheric trace gases and remote sensing (IMK-ASF). A third division, the Atmospheric Aerosol Research (IMK- AAF) is jointly operated with the Institute of Environmental Physics at the University of Heidelberg. Since January 2002 the Institute for Atmospheric Environmental Research, former part of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, has become the fourth division of the IMK as IMK-IFU.

 

The Institute is leading the newly founded KIT "Climate and Environment" Center and contributes significantly to the program "Atmosphere and Climate" of the Helmholtz Association in the research field "Earth and Environment".

Background and research/work focus:
Bernhard is a senior scientist at IMK-TRO who has a long-time experience in atmospheric numerical modelling including physical and chemical processes on the regional scale. He is an expert in mesoscale meteorology, atmospheric boundary layer, numerical modelling of processes on the regional scale, and the interaction of aerosol, chemistry, radiation, and clouds. His working group developed COSMO-ART. He coordinates the further development of COSMO-ART.

Exa2Green Activities / Role in the project:
Contribution to WP5 „Showcase for energy-optimized aerosol chemistry packages”: Optimizing the energy consumption of COSMO-ART by investigating new numerical approaches to reduce the inherent gas phase chemistry model.

 

Investigation of model reduction techniques in application with parallel in time integration techniques on future energy-efficient architectures.

 

Background and research/work focus:
Teresa graduated in Meteorology with minors in Numerical Methods and Computational Fluid Dynamics at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In 2012 she started her PhD on a collaborative position between Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK) at KIT and the Engineering Mathematics and Computing Lab (EMCL) at University of Heidelberg.

 

As a PhD student and a research associate she faces both challenges from meteorology and numerics. She works on numerical simulation for applications in the field of meteorology, such as grid adaptive numerical simulation of tropical cyclones, three-dimensional fluid flow simulation in a differentially heated rotating cylindrical annulus and model reduction techniques for chemical kinetics in the atmosphere. She is further engaged as the project coordinator of the open-source Finite Element package HiFlow³.

 

Her research interests lie on model adaptivity and model reduction approaches for ODEs and parallel integration techniques.
