IntroductionIntroduction

The students working with the Weather Group at the GSN found out that the the sky above our school is more often

covered than without clouds. They observed that there are quick changes of temperature. Our observations can be compared very well to the quicklookimages.The winter temperatures become warmer compared to other

centuries.Storms occur regularly in Germany since at least thirty years ago.

The sky was very often covered with clouds 50%-90%. Very often we found cumulus, altocumulus, stratus

or altostratus. So we normally could not find the contrails. We observed two storms with nimbostratus clouds, the worst

was Kyrill on 18th of January. The temperature from January to April was warmer than

in the years ago. One hundred years ago we found a description ofice and snow in Germany in an old book. In another description of weather history we found out, that

storms and thunderstorms happen very often in the time from

January to April. We were very happy to observe, that our cloud observations

and our photos showed the similar cloud coverage as the

quicklook images at the CEN page.

** Storms over Germany **

www.unwetterzentrale.de shows clearly, that in the last thirty years at least ten storms devastated different German regions in in months November to February.

1. Climate change cam be noticed even in the surroundings The temperature will be higher than in the years before.

2. Storms and thunderstorms will take place more often and they will be more destructive.

3. The clouds will be dirtier and they will cover the sky more often.

We take part in the cloudsat project, because it connects school and life in a wonderful way.

Procedures

Most of the times we watched the clouds the sky was covered about 50% to 90%, especially in autumn and winter.

The cloud image often changed very quickly from one hour to the next.

The temperature was higher than in the years or even in the centuries before.

The connection between the cloud images above our School and climate change or pollution cannot be made. We only see

some hints during our observations.The quicklooks of CEN often show a similar situation to our

cloud observations from the school’s roof.The storm “Kyrill” in January was not necessarily a sign for the

climate change. Devastating storms are found in a German storm chronicle and they occur very often in wintertime or in

spring in our region. Temperatures in Germany in spring
