Susanna Winkelbauer

Susanna Winkelbauer is a Research Fellow at the University of Vienna's Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, specializing in climate data analysis. Her research examines Arctic energy budgets, ocean heat content, and water cycle dynamics using observational data and climate models. She contributes to international collaborations like the Arctic Energy Budget Group.

Winkelbauer's work validates climate models against observational data, particularly focusing on CMIP6 simulations in polar regions. She develops methodologies for computing oceanic transports and freshwater fluxes, with applications to Arctic climate studies.
