Gerhard Kramm
My research activities are mainly focused on the theoretical aspects of atmospheric sciences, in particular physics of the planetary boundary layer, atmospheric turbulence and its impact upon atmospheric chemistry, atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric radiation, cloud physics, micro- and mesoscale numerical modeling, and climate change. In some of these fields I have used principles of dimensional analysis successfully. I have taught atmospheric dynamics, atmospheric radiation, physics of the atmospheric boundary layer, and turbulence. In summer 2007 I served as the lead instructor of the Science Teacher Education Program (STEP) 2007 on Global Climate Change. Since 2005 I have served as a member of the editorial board of the Journal of the Calcutta Mathematical Society, an international journal dealing with the key advances in Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences.
