معرفی
Peter Hoor is a full Professor at the Institute for Atmospheric Physics, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, where he leads the Airborne Measurements and UTLS Transport Processes research group.
His research focuses on:
- Transport and mixing dynamics in the Upper Troposphere/Lower Stratosphere (UTLS)
- Airborne tracer measurement techniques
- Lagrangian analysis of atmospheric transport pathways
Utilizing aircraft-based data and LAGRANTO modeling tools, Prof. Hoor investigates how UTLS composition reflects complex interactions between tropospheric turbulence and stratospheric circulation. His work quantifies air mass budgets and transport timescales critical for reducing climate model uncertainties, particularly regarding Brewer-Dobson circulation impacts on surface temperature projections.
Current research initiatives include:
- OCTAV-UTLS: Observed composition and trends in the UTLS
- SOUTHTRAC: Southern Hemisphere transport and composition
- WISE: Wave-driven isentropic exchange processes
- TACTS/ESMVal: UTLS transport modeling and Earth System Model validation
- AIRTOSS and SPURT: Advanced airborne observational studies
His group contributes to the university's International Master in Atmospheric Sciences program through practical field research components and seminar leadership.
