Lagrangian analysis of thunderstorms

> Analyse thunderstorms in Switzerland in very high-resolution weather model simulations and use trajectory analysis to investigate air stream pathways into and through the thunderstorms

> Requirements:— We are looking for someone interested in thunderstorm dynamics and meteorological data

analysis, ideally you have attended Meteo2 and Meteo3— This research topic requires some programming, previous programming experience is not

needed > Supervision:
