Biography of Stefan Emeis

Stefan Emeis studied meteorology at the University of Bonn (Germany) from 1975 to 1980. He finished his PhD studies in 1984 and took his habilitation in 1994. His subject is the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL). At present he works at the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research of the Forschungszentrum Karlsuhe GmbH in Garmisch-Partenkirchen (Germany) in the field of acoustic remote sensing (SODAR) for probing the ABL (mixing layer height, wind energy potential, dispersion). Numerical models are used to inversely determine emission source strengths from measured trace gas concentrations. He is Book Review Editor and member of the Editorial Board of Meteorologische Zeitschrift. He published a book presenting the whole meteorology in catchwords (Meteorologie in Stichworten, Borntraeger, Stuttgart, 2000, see link below).

Since several years he is member of the History of Meteorology Specialist Group of the German Meteorological Society. He studied the life and work of the Swiss researcher Jean AndrÈ Deluc (1727-1817) and the German researcher Gustav Sch¸bler (1787-1834). Currently he is preparing a short history of meteorological textbooks in Germany in the 19^th century. He loves the spirit that emanate from old books on natural sciences.
