Results in Brief: Unpicking the role of mixed-phase clouds in the climate system

The MC2 project at University of Oslo is hightlighted with a "Results in Brief" news article at the Cordis (EU research results) website. Project leader Professor Trude Storelvmo is interviewed in the article and gives a short overview over research and results in the project.

The ERC Start up grant 'Mixed-phase clouds and climate (MC2)' project aims to better understand the role that clouds play in global climate change. The project has a particular focus on cold clouds that can consist of both ice and liquid water. Such clouds are common at high latitudes and can be affected by both pollution and rising temperatures in the atmosphere.

Project leader and coordinator of the MC2 project is Trude Storelvmo, Professor at Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. The project is funded under the programme Excellent Science from the European Research Council (ERC).
