Matthias Sühring

Dr. rer. nat. Matthias Sühring is a Researcher at the Institute of Meteorology and Climatology, part of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Leibniz University Hannover. His work focuses on atmospheric boundary layer dynamics, particularly through the development and application of the PALM model system (Parallelized Large-Eddy Simulation Model) for urban and regional climate studies.

Key research areas include:

• Numerical methods for atmospheric modeling
• Large-eddy simulation (LES) of boundary layer processes
• Surface heterogeneity effects on turbulence and heat exchange
• Urban climate modeling and microscale meteorology
• Radiative transfer parameterization in urban environments
• Land-atmosphere interactions

His recent work emphasizes the integration of LES with observational data for urban climate applications, energy balance closure analysis, and pollutant dispersion studies. Collaborations include international teams working on the CHEESEHEAD19 and MOSAIK-2 projects. Current publications highlight advancements in urban canopy models, UV radiation exposure, and deep learning approaches for atmospheric CO₂ transport.
