Fredrik Jansson

Fredrik Jansson is a Researcher at Delft University of Technology, affiliated with the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences and the Geoscience and Remote Sensing department. He works on weather and climate simulations within the Ruisdael Observatory project, focusing on improving the Dutch Atmospheric Large-Eddy Simulation (DALES) model's performance and usability for high-resolution atmospheric studies.

• PhD in Physics from Åbo Akademi University (Finland)
• Develops DALES model for cloud and convection resolution
• Collaborates with the Netherlands eScience Center for computational optimization
• Research interests: pattern formation, cloud dynamics, cold pools, superparameterization

His recent work examines how cold pools and trade cumulus self-aggregation influence Earth's radiation budget and climate systems. He explores symmetry in mesoscale circulations and the impact of environmental drivers on atmospheric boundary layer dynamics.

Key projects include:

• Regional superparameterization of OpenIFS using DALES
• Cloud organization in radiative-convective equilibrium
• High-performance computing optimizations for climate models

Fredrik also contributes to computational tools like Kilombo (Kilobot simulator) and VECMAtk for uncertainty quantification. His interdisciplinary work bridges atmospheric science, robotics, and DIY electronics.
