Here's something to amuse you on this #ThrowbackThursday: a photo from my long-ago wedding day, soon after college graduation. You can tell it was long ago by the mini-dress! The marriage ended long ago, too.

Poor photo quality because we didn't have a professional photographer.

Red-haired young woman in a white mini-dress and white shoes with low heels, holding a bouquet. She is standing on carpeted steps.

Over the past 50 years, our institute #MPIM was lead by several brilliant directors. Through their personal expertise and interests, and by leading and enabling excellent researchers, each new director has made the institute what it is today: one of the most renowned institutes for climate research in the world. 🌍 ☁️☀️🌊🏔️

The picture is showing two photos, on the left side our three first directors in 1990 (Hartmut Graßl, Klaus Hasselmann, and Hans Hinzpeter) and on the right side our three current directors in 2023 (Jochem Marotzke, Sarah Kang, and Bjorn Stevens).

👩🏼‍💻 #MPIM's 1st #supercomputer, a CDC Cyber-205, was installed in Hamburg's Geomatikum in 1985. 2.5 yrs later, the German Climate Computing Center #DKRZ was established as a service facility for climate research in Germany. Continuous upgrades enabled substantial progress in the development of realistic #climate models. Today, scientists from #MPIM &other institutes are using the Levante supercomputer, which has 70 million times the computing power of the Cyber-205! #MPIM50 #ThrowbackThursday #tbt

Left image: A technician is working on a supercomputer, which is hidden behind a huge amount of cables in 1985. right image: A young female scientist is standing in front of an open computer cabinet of the Levante supercomputer, which seems much more organized.

🌊🪣 In 1979, #MPIM researchers conducted hands-on research in the North Sea: #ocean-atmosphere measurements for the calibration of satellites 🛰️& to study exchange processes. 🌍⛴️🛟 Today, observations–by ship, aircraft, or on land–are still a core component of our research. We also use data from the automated PIRATA surface buoy array in the tropical Atlantic, one of which can be seen in the right image. 🛜

The left black-and-white image shows two men attached with ropes to a tower in the North Sea, a bucket is hanging from the near side. An overlay says "1979". The right-hand full color image shows a buoy in the blue ocean under a clear blue sky.
