Detecting atmospheric composition temporal and spatial changes and understanding the atmospheric lifecycle of compounds acting as climate forcers and/or being toxic to humans or ecosystems is of paramount importance in the current international research.
A large fraction of the uncertainty about the climate impacts of natural and anthropogenic emissions in the atmosphere resides in the complexity of aerosol effects and related feedbacks on radiation through cloud formation, lifetime and precipitation.
Attività di Trasferimento Tecnologico svolte nel 2020 o in corso
Le attività di collaborazione con AMBIMAT hanno come obiettivo concreto la realizzazione di progetti di ricerca nell' ambito delle scienze ambientali, con ricadute in termini applicativi e di trasmissione di competenze, con l'obiettivo ultimo di valorizzarle in termini economici.

- Improvement of our knowledge of atmospheric processes (e.g., turbulence, convection, microphysics, radiation) through the synergistic use of Earth Observations and modeling tools at different scales
Aim: Understanding the past, current and future global changes in the Earth system and the fundamental physical and dynamical processes affecting climate variability and trends at different spatial and temporal scales.
Aim: Understanding the processes and feedbacks leading to the amplification of climate changes and of their impacts in so-called hotspot areas (polar regions, mountain areas, the Mediterranean basin, and urban environments) and study of climate predictability in these areas.
- Understanding the mechanisms and their feedbacks responsible for precipitation and temperature extremes in a changing climate, through a synergistic use of models and observations
- Identification of the atmospheric conditions causing severe convection conducive to extreme hydro-meteorological events
