Topics for final theses

We supervise theses in the study programs Environmental Meteorology (B.Sc.), Meteorology (B.Sc., M.Sc.), and Environmental Engineering (M.Sc.) in the fields of boundary-layer meteorology, environmental meteorology, and flow simulation—particularly with reference to the PALM simulation model, which we develop and operate. If you are looking for a topic for your thesis, feel free to get in touch. We are happy to work with you to find a suitable topic and support you throughout your work. In general, we only offer topics with a direct connection to boundary-layer meteorology, for example in the following areas:

  • Development of low-cost sensors for urban climate monitoring as part of citizen science projects

  • Measurement of boundary-layer processes, e.g., using laser scintillometers, drones, or disdrometers

  • Effects of wind turbines on the atmospheric boundary layer

  • Applied urban climatology (e.g., assessment of climate adaptation measures, traffic-induced turbulence)

  • Heat exchange in polar leads

  • Flow structures in the stable boundary layer

  • Monin-Obukhov similarity theory

  • Investigation of the life cycle of radiation fog
