Short summary

The WegenerNet 3D Open-Air Laboratory for Climate Change Research in southeastern Austria observes the atmosphere from the surface up to an altitude of 10 km. A variety of different sensors measure precipitation, water vapor content, humidity, temperature, and cloud properties in high spatial and temporal resolution. This enables detailed analyses of weather phenomena in a changing climate, such as heavy rainfall events and thunderstorms.
