ITaRS is over
by Sarah Henkel
After four years of intensive training, ITaRS came to an end on March 31, 2016. Our fellows have become our alumni and are heading off to pursue their career in academia or the private sector. We are using our best efforts to further develop the ITaRS concept for future projects.
Before we freeze the contents of this website, we are proud to share with you this video, developed by Stefan Kneifel at the University of Cologne. It answers the question from one of the topics of the ITaRS summer school in Jülich 2014: "How does a cloud form?"

ITaRS fellow presents new study at the 96th annual meeting of the American Meteorological Society (AMS)
by Robert Banks
Robert Banks, an ITaRS fellow at Barcelona, presented a poster titled, “Meteorological applications of a continuously-operating micropulse lidar in Barcelona, Spain” at the 2016 annual meeting of the AMS. The work (Banks et al., 2015) synergizes use of a micropulse lidar (MPL), radiosoundings, and a numerical weather prediction model to study the planetary boundary layer (PBL).
