Large progress has been made in the past few years towards quantifying and understanding climate variability during past centuries. At the same time, present-day climate has been studied using state-of-the-art data sets and tools with respect to the physical and chemical mechanisms governing climate variability. Both the understanding of the past and the knowledge of the processes are important for assessing and attributing the anthropogenic effect on present and future climate. The most important time period in this context is the past approximately 100 years, which comprises large natural...

The proposed book is not only a tribute to the work of Bruckner (and indeed also a personal tribute, since Bruckner wrote his book at the Institute of Geography of the University of Bern), but references to Bruckner s book are also a conceptual tool in the proposed book, though used sparingly and thoughtfully. Apart from providing historical context, references may facilitate introducing some complex topics, for instance by first presenting Bruckner s view and then complementing the picture with today s understanding. References can be used for contrast: Comparing Bruckner s methods and data...

Wie Humboldts Vermessung der Welt den Grundstein für die moderne Klimaforschung legte.Einblicke in Humboldts Berliner Atelier und seinen Nachlass.Alexander von Humboldt - ein Mann der vielen Talente.Auch wenn Alexander von Humboldt ein meteorologischer Autodidakt war, gilt er heute als Begründer der modernen Klimatologie. Seit seinen Jugendjahren untersuchte er die Zusammensetzung der Atmosphäre, maß Temperaturen und Luftdruck, beobachtete die Variation des Himmelsblaus, die Niederschläge, die Verteilung der Wärme auf dem Erdkörper und zahlreiche weitere meteorologische Phänomene. Die...
