The overall aim of RA3 is to formulate and validate a model framework - linking vegetation, aerosols, clouds and their climate feedbacks. To do this, we use a combination of laboratory studies, field studies and modelling. Aerosol particles and their role for clouds and climate is an important part of climate research and of huge importance for air quality around the world. The concept of short-li

The focus of RA4 is to provide and develop statistical models and methods that improve the analysis and evaluation of climate data and output from climate and earth system models on a global, regional, and local scale. The work includes both development of new statistical methodology that is widely applicable to spatial and spatio-temporal datasets and the use of modern statistical methods to anal
