Events and Trends
MOSES is a new observing system of the Helmholtz Research Field "Earth and Environment" that investigates the evolution and impacts of highly dynamic, often extreme events using a systemic monitoring approach. By quantifying energy, water, nutrient, and greenhouse gas fluxes during short-term events such as weather extremes, abrupt permafrost thaw, or rapidly changing ocean currents, the system provides data to study potential long-term environmental impacts. Such event-oriented, yet cross-compartment datasets are necessary to better understand the impacts of climate change and develop adaptation strategies.

MOSES participates in NAWDIC
The North Atlantic Waveguide, Dry Intrusion, and Downstream Impact Campaign (NAWDIC) is an international field campaign that focuses on combining detailed observations and modeling efforts to improve understanding of high-impact weather events in the North Atlantic region during winter. MOSES groups from KIT and FZJ contribute their specific expertise in boundary layer dynamics and the transport of water vapor in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere. The observations comprise ground-based systems provided by the KITcube along the west coast of Brittany and airborne systems installed by FZJ on the research aircraft HALO during its missions over the North Atlantic.
