Overview

Patric Seifert is affiliated with the Leibniz Association in Germany and focuses on research primarily within Earth and Planetary Sciences and Environmental Science. Their work spans various subfields related to atmospheric phenomena, including Atmospheric Science, Global and Planetary Change, Earth-Surface Processes, Aerospace Engineering, and Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Their scholarly output emphasizes topics such as Atmospheric aerosols and clouds, Atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, Atmospheric Ozone and Climate, Meteorological Phenomena and Simulations, Atmospheric and Environmental Gas Dynamics, Aeolian processes and effects, and Cryospheric studies and observations.

Seifert's notable recent papers cover a range of atmospheric studies and have appeared mostly in highly specialized journals. These include:

  • Smoke of extreme Australian bushfires observed in the stratosphere over Punta Arenas, Chile, in January 2020: optical thickness, lidar ratios, and depolarization ratios at 355 and 532 nm (2020, Atmospheric chemistry and physics)
  • Tropospheric and stratospheric wildfire smoke profiling with lidar: mass, surface area, CCN, and INP retrieval (2021, Atmospheric chemistry and physics)
  • Wildfire smoke, Arctic haze, and aerosol effects on mixed-phase and cirrus clouds over the North Pole region during MOSAiC: an introduction (2021, Atmospheric chemistry and physics)
  • Microphysical investigation of the seeder and feeder region of an Alpine mixed-phase cloud (2021, Atmospheric chemistry and physics)
  • Application of the shipborne remote sensing supersite OCEANET for profiling of Arctic aerosols and clouds during Polarstern cruise PS106 (2020, Atmospheric measurement techniques)

The frequent coauthors collaborating with Seifert include:

  • Ronny Engelmann
