Reserach areas:

Andreas Stohl studies and models transport processes in the atmosphere. In earlier years, he was interested in ozone formation, exchange of air between the stratosphere and troposphere and intercontinental pollution transport. In the last 12 years, Stohl has become increasingly interested in pollution and climate of the polar regions, on which he has published several highly cited papers. During the last ten years, he has developed and used tools for inverse estimation of emission sources. Turbulence is another aspect of atmospheric transport, in which Stohl is interested. He is also interested in climate research and has recently coordinated an EU project on shortlived climate forcers. A very new research field for Stohl is the interpretation of ice core data using atmospheric transport modelling.
