Dear students, we always have some ideas for bachelor theses on current research topics from our group. Please just contact us directly. Possible topics are: | |
| "The influence of the Madden-Julian oscillation on weather regimes in the Atlantic-European region on time scales of several weeks to months." | |
| "Can we better predict ground weather based on weather regimes?" | |
| "Is there a link between Saharan dust outbreaks and forecast errors for Europe?" |
