Juliana Jaen has successfully finished her doctoral studies!
We are pleased to congratulate our PhD student Juliana Jaen on the successful defence of her dissertation!
Her research was dedicated to the study of dynamical processes in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. The focus was on long-term wind dynamics during the summer season, analysing time series of 17-33 years from specular meteor and partial reflection radars at mid and high latitudes. Her results show an earlier onset of mesospheric summer and increasing wind maxima, accompanied by a weakening of mesopause winds at mid-latitudes.
Congratulations Dr Jaen!
The Leibniz-Institute of Atmospheric Physics is one of the German main centers for Middle Atmosphere research and maintains active cooperations with several international research organizations. The institute is located near the Baltic Sea resort Kühlungsborn, owns a separate site on the island Rügen, and is a major partner of the ALOMAR observatory in northern Norway. As associated institute of the Rostock University it is part of the teaching programme in physics. A total of about 90 persons is employed at IAP. The institute realizes an equal-opportunity and family-friendly human resource policy and is certified with the audit "berufundfamilie" ('career and family').
