Tropenphysik
Tropenphysik is a field of physics that studies the physical processes occurring in tropical regions, where high solar radiation, strong humidity, and extensive cloudiness drive dynamic atmospheric and oceanic systems. The field encompasses tropical meteorology, climate dynamics, cloud physics, ocean–atmosphere interaction, hydrology, and energy and mass transfer between land, sea, and biosphere. Core topics include convection and rainfall formation in the tropics, monsoon dynamics, the role of tropical oceans in global climate, and the response of tropical systems to climate change.
Researchers use a combination of field observations in tropical environments, remote sensing from satellites, laboratory experiments,
Applications of Tropenphysik include improving weather forecasts and extreme-event predictions in tropical regions, informing agricultural planning
