Ingrid Cnossen

Biography

I am a NERC Independent Research Fellow (IRF), investigating the effects of climate change in the lower and middle atmosphere (0-90 km altitude) on the upper atmosphere (90-500 km altitude), using the Whole Atmosphere Community Climate Model eXtension (WACCM-X). I am also interested in the effects of long-term changes in the Earth’s magnetic field on the upper atmosphere, differences and similarities between the northern and southern polar regions, and vertical atmospheric coupling processes.

Research interests

  • Effects of climate change in the lower and middle atmosphere (0-90 km altitude) on the upper atmosphere (90-500 km altitude)
  • Vertical atmospheric coupling processes
  • North-South asymmetries in the polar upper atmosphere
  • Effects of changes in the Earth’s main magnetic field on the atmosphere and magnetosphere
  • Long-term (multi-decadal) changes and trends in the upper atmosphere (ionosphere and thermosphere)
  • Impact of climate change in the upper atmosphere on space debris
