Ottmar Möhler

Ottmar Möhler is a physicist and researcher at the Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research (IMK-AAF) within the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), specializing in experimental atmospheric science with focus on aerosol-cloud interactions. His work bridges fundamental physics and climate system dynamics through advanced laboratory and field methodologies.

His primary research domains include:

• Cloud Microphysics: Quantitative analysis of droplet activation, growth mechanisms, and phase transitions in mixed-phase clouds
• Ice Nucleation: Investigation of heterogeneous freezing pathways and ice crystal formation kinetics under atmospheric conditions
• Aerosol Physics: Characterization of particulate matter properties, including size distribution, chemical composition, and cloud condensation nuclei activity
• Atmospheric Process Modeling: Integration of microphysical observations into climate prediction frameworks
• Instrument Development: Creation of novel measurement techniques for aerosol and cloud studies

Dr. Möhler maintains active collaborations through international networks like ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure), with contact details including telephone (24287), fax (24332), and email ottmar.moehler@kit.edu.
