Tido Semmler

Dr. Tido Semmler is a Senior Scientist in the Climate Dynamics department at the Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI). His research focuses on polar-latitude linkages in the atmosphere and ocean, particularly the response of the climate system to anthropogenic emissions. He contributes to global climate modeling efforts, including CMIP6 simulations with the AWI-CM model, and investigates Arctic amplification effects on mid-latitude weather patterns.

• Affiliations: AWI Climate Dynamics Department, Helmholtz Association
• Key Projects: APPLICATE (Arctic Predictability and Prediction of sea ice and climate), HighResMIP (High Resolution Model Intercomparison Project)

His work emphasizes high-resolution modeling, data assimilation for sea ice prediction, and understanding mechanisms behind Arctic sea ice decline and its global impacts. Semmler collaborates internationally on climate assessment frameworks and contributes to advancements in coupled ocean-atmosphere modeling systems.
