Overview

Wolfgang Knorr is affiliated with Lund University in Sweden. Their research primarily focuses on environmental and earth sciences, with a concentration in atmospheric science, global and planetary change, water science and technology, and ecology.

Their work covers a range of topics including atmospheric and environmental gas dynamics, atmospheric ozone and climate, atmospheric chemistry and aerosols, meteorological phenomena and simulations, plant water relations and carbon dynamics, hydrology and watershed management studies, and remote sensing in agriculture.

Knorr has published research in several scientific venues such as Frontiers in Remote Sensing, Environmental Research Letters, and Geoscientific Model Development.

  • Assessing the Impact of Atmospheric CO2 and NO2 Measurements From Space on Estimating City-Scale Fossil Fuel CO2 Emissions in a Data Assimilation System (2022, Frontiers in Remote Sensing)
  • Assimilation of atmospheric CO2 observations from space can support national CO2 emission inventories (2021, Environmental Research Letters)
  • A comprehensive land-surface vegetation model for multi-stream data assimilation, D&B v1.0 (2025, Geoscientific Model Development)

Frequent collaborators in their research include Marko Scholze, P. J. Rayner, Michael Voßbeck, T. Kaminski, and Michael Buchwitz.
