European funding for cloud research

09 October 2009 by M&C TNW/MSP

The European Union has allocated 3.5 million euros to EUCLIPSE, the new cloud research programme. This aims to reduce the ambiguities present in current climate models by shedding more light on the role played by clouds in climate change. Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands; TU Delft) and the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) are participants in this European programme. The announcement was made by EUCLIPSE coordinator Pier Siebesma in his inaugural address as part-time professor within TU Delft''s Clouds, Climate and Air Quality working group.
