Do you hear the climate crying? Data sonification makes changes happening on our planet audible. The numbers are not represented in tables or diagrams but in notes. Songs are created from them!

The Gulf Stream

The Gulf Stream is a current in the Atlantic Ocean that brings warmth from tropical waters to the coasts of northern Europe. As a result, temperatures are higher than in other regions similarly close to the Arctic.

Earth grid models

Even with the fastest supercomputers, we cannot fully model all climate processes in all regions of the world. Therefore, we divide the world into small grid cells and calculate the climate processes for these cells in parallel. The size of the cells is called the resolution of the grid. A...

Box models

With a box model, we can predict the future by simulating the complex interactions between different processes. The results are often surprising, even though the connections between the processes are well-known and predictable.

Navier-Stokes equations

The movement of balls, cars, and rockets can be explained mathematically. Similarly, the Navier-Stokes equations can explain and predict the movement of fluids, like ocean water, atmosphere gases, an oil spill, smoke, or Currywurstsoße.

General Circulation Models (GCM)

General Circulation Models (GCM) are the most precise tool we have to assert that climate change is a reality. GCMs are detailed models of the whole Earth, divided into many small cells of just a few kilometers’ width.
