Menschengemachter Klimawandel trocknet Europas Sommer aus
Die vermehrt trockenen Sommer in Europa lassen bereits erahnen, dass wir es in Zukunft mit mehr Hitze, ausgedörrten Böden und Waldbränden zu tun bekommen. Dahinter steckt der menschengemachte Klimawandel. Dominik Schumacher und Sonia Seneviratne erläutern die Zusammenhänge von Bodenfeuchte und Klimawandel in der neusten Ausgabe des ProClim-Flash.
Is AI the future of weather and climate modelling?
Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool for weather forecasting and offers considerable potential for climate projections. Nicolas Gruber and Andreas Prein explain why traditional simulations using numerical models remain indispensable.
Weather and climate data freely available
As part of the Open Government Data (OGD) initiative, the Swiss Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology MeteoSwiss is making meteorological and climatological data available to all interested parties free of charge from May 2025.

Feeling tomorrow's heat: ETH researchers calculate climate cost of comfort at Venice Architecture Biennale
Sonia Seneviratne and David Bresch, both professors at the Departement for Environmental Systems Sciences, have contributed to a thought-provoking installation just by the entrance at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025. Together with Lorenzo Pierini, a postdoctoral researcher, they calculated what the air temperature would be in the future if we didn't have air conditioning mitigation.
