What is the dominant wind direction for air-sea heat exchange? (30.10.2019)
In the mid-latitudes the weather changes quickly. Changing winds influence the heat exchange between the atmosphere and the ocean. A new study by Fumiaki Ogawa and Thomas Spengler shows how important it is to consider short-term phenomena like extratropical cyclones and cold air outbreaks when calculating air-sea fluxes. Read their account below.

Data interoperability a key for disaster risk reduction in Europe (30.10.2019)
In a number of European countries, there is a clear imbalance between long-term disaster risk reduction and short-term preparation, according to a new study. With increasing amounts of data, there is a potential for investments in long-term reduction measures, but data availability is not enough. Jenny Sj氓stad Hagen, co-author of the study, writes about the importance of data interoperability.
