Andreas Macke

Andreas Macke (born 1962) is a German physicist. He is Professor for Atmospheric physics at University of Leipzig and is working at the (TROPOS).

Andreas Macke studied physics at the University of Cologne, received his Ph.D. in geosciences from the University of Hamburg and habilitated in meteorology at the Christian-Albrecht University of Kiel. Today he heads the department Remote Sensing of Atmospheric Processes at TROPOS.

He and his working group are researching light scattering on non-spherical particles in the atmosphere, the three-dimensional radiation transport in mixed phase clouds and process radiation effects of clouds in the model. Macke's observations of the marine troposphere from the ship are technically demanding.
