MOSAIK-2: Projects

The MOSAIK-2 project consists of 12 work packages (WP).

Support and Sustainability (S-projects)

The S-projects cover the overall coordination of MOSAIK-2 and PALM-4U ​PALM, the central model evaluation, support for modules B and C, as well as actions to ensure long-term sustainability of PALM-4U and established structures beyond the project funding duration.

Precipitation and Clouds (P-projects)

The P-projects focus on implementing additional physical processes concerning precipitation and cloud physics as well as creating an interface to mesoscale models.

Work package	Title	Institution
WP-P1	Frozen water in the atmosphere and on the ground	Leibniz University Hannover
WP-P2	3D radiation and coarse-grid simulation techniques	Humboldt University of Berlin & Ludwig-Maximilian-University of Munich
WP-P3	Extended interface to mesoscale models	German Meteorological Service (DWD)

Impact (I-projects)

I-projects focus on improving the PALM-4U aerosol chemistry, by also extending it to biogenic emissions, improving the multi-agent system and coupling it with an agent-based traffic emissions module, and developing a wind-throw model for urban trees.

Work package	Title	Institution
WP-I1	Urban air quality module	Karlsruhe Institute of Technology & Freie Universität Berlin
WP-I2	Coupling of PALM-4U and MATSim	Technical University of Berlin
WP-I3	Multi-agent system module	Leibniz University Hannover
WP-I6	A wind throw model for urban trees	Leibniz University Hannover
