Purpose
The project name is ""Observation and modeling of the tropical runaway- and super-greenhouse"". Using satellite measurements of the Earth's tropics, this research will investigate the local runaway greenhouse and super greenhouse effect. These phenomena occur when there is high water vapour content in the atmosphere, which limits the amount of radiation the surface can give off to cool itself. Currently, this only affects the warmest areas of the tropics (e.g. the Pacific warm pool) but it is expected to spread, and potentially become more severe as the global climate warms.
