Ingo Wohltmann
I am a senior scientist at the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research in Potsdam and in Bremerhaven, Germany. I have obtained my PhD in 2003 at the University of Bremen, Germany, and have been working at the Alfred Wegener Institute in the area of atmospheric science with a focus on the stratosphere since then. Since 2009, I am the developer, maintainer and scientist behind the ATLAS chemistry and transport model, and I am focussing my research on the model.
Session
ATLAS is a global atmospheric chemistry and transport model with a focus on stratospheric chemistry, and in particular anthropogenic ozone depletion (the "ozone hole"). It was originally written in Matlab (starting in 2009) and has been rewritten in Julia in the last 5 years, resulting in a 10x speedup. We give an overview of the implementation and of the scientific results published in the last 15 years.
