About

Hey, my name is Florian and I am working as a Postdoc at the Leibniz Institute for Baltic Sea Research Warnemünde. 

Research Interest

In my research, I try to understand how long-term variability in the atmosphere and ocean affects Northern Europe and the Baltic Sea on timescales of 10 to 1,000 years.

Currently, my main focus is on the teleconnection between the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea in CMIP6 models.

Relationship between two clusters of CMIP6 piControls members, focusing on the relationship between the North Atlantic and sensible heat fluxes, sea surface temperatures, and the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.

My latest work focuses on the relationship between the North Atlantic Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Variability in CMIP6 piControl runs. If you are interested, find our study published in Environmental Research Letters.
