Manfred Wendisch

Manfred Wendisch is a Professor at the University of Mainz, leading the Atmospheric Radiation research group. His work focuses on the effects of clouds and aerosols on radiation fields, with applications in climate modeling and atmospheric science.

• Projects: SAMUM (Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment), ASTAR (Arctic Study of Tropospheric Aerosols, Clouds and Radiation), SFB 641 'The Tropospheric Ice Phase', Megacities, HALO (High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft).

Research interests include understanding radiative transfer processes in the troposphere, interactions between aerosols and clouds, and the impact of urban pollution on atmospheric dynamics. His group employs helicopter-borne radiation measurements and advanced remote sensing techniques.
