Hamburg, eksperimentalna fonetika, tonemi, intonacija, vizualizacija akusti~nih prvin The paper briefly presents the connection between Professor Jo`e Topori{i~ and the Institute of Phonetics at the University of Hamburg. As a scholarship holder of the Humboldt Foundation, Professor Topori{i~ was most of that time engaged in scholarly activities at the University of Hamburg. Hamburg, experimental phonetics, tonemes, intonation, visualisation of acoustic elements Das Phonetische Institut der Universität Hamburg wurde 1910 als »Phonetisches Laboratorium«, eine Abteilung im Afrikanischen Seminar des Kolonialinstituts (1908–1919), dem Vorläuferinstitut der Universität Hamburg, gegründet. Die vordringliche Aufgabe des Afrikanischen Seminars war die Erforschung der afrikanischen und ostasiatischen Kolonialsprachen in den damals deutschen Kolo- nien. Dies sollte mithilfe der modernsten Forschungsmethoden, den experimentell- phonetischen Methoden, durchgeführt werden. Ein junger Wissenschaftler, Giulio Panconcelli-Calzia (1878–1966), wurde mit der Leitung des Phonetischen Labo- ratoriums beauftragt. Unter seiner Führung (von 1910 bis 1949) erlangte das Phonetische Laboratorium, das mit der Gründung der Universität Hamburg im Jahr 1919 eine selbständige Forschungseinrichtung wurde, großes Ansehen und wurde weltbekannt. Neben der intensiven Erforschung allgemein phonetischer Fragestellungen wurden bald erste Versuche zur Behandlung sprech- und hörgeschädigter Menschen unternommen. Im Ersten Weltkrieg wurden sprachgeschädigte und traumatisierte Soldaten behandelt.

  • A New Reference Data Set for Climate Simulations Over Sea
    Geophysical Research Abstracts Vol. 21, EGU2019-10552, 2019 EGU General Assembly 2019 © Author(s) 2019. CC Attribution 4.0 license. The Baltic and North Seas Climatology - a new reference data set for climate simulations over sea Corinna Jensen (1), Annika Jahnke-Bornemann (2), and Birger Tinz (3) (1) Federal Maritime Hydrographic agency, Hamburg, Germany ([email protected]), (2) University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany, (3) Deutscher Wetterdienst, Hamburg, Germany The Baltic and North Seas Climatology (BNSC) is a new climatology calculated solely from marine in situ observations. It was created in cooperation between the University of Hamburg (UHH), the Federal Maritime and Hydrographic Agency (BSH) and the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). It was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI) within the “Network of Experts” and publically released through the Integrated Data Center (ICDC, www.icdc.cen.uni-hamburg.de) in 2018. The climatology consists of an atmospheric and a hydrographic part in the region of the Baltic Sea, the North Sea and adjacent regions of the North Atlantic. As it includes homogenous fields both for the atmosphere and the ocean on a corresponding grid, it is especially a valuable tool to validate regionally coupled climate simulations over sea. The atmospheric part consists of time series of monthly mean gridded fields for 2m air temperature, 2m dew point and sea level pressure from 1950 to 2015 on a 1◦x1◦ grid. The hydrographic part includes the variables water temperature and salinity from 1873 to 2015 with a grid of 105 depth levels and a 0.25◦ horizontal resolution.
