CABO  -  GETTING  STARTED  ... 
 
The CABO (= Climate and Background Ozone) Research Group was set up in 1994 by Dr Evi Schuepbach (evi@giub.unibe.ch) at Berne University after completion of her Ph.D. at the University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K., School of Environmental Sciences / Climatic Research Unit. Current research projects focus on tropospheric ozone and climate variability.  
 
Dr Evi Schuepbach (Head of CABO)  obtained her M.Sc. from Berne University in 1988 and thereafter worked with the Swiss National Science Foundation in the Programme Direction of two interdisciplinary Research Programmes (NFP 14/14+) on air cycle and forest damages in Switzerland. She edited two books summarising the results of the meteorology and air chemistry projects in the NFP 14/14+ (published in 1991 by the Fachverein der ETH, CH-8093 Zuerich). The two volumes provided a state-of-the art overview on meteorology, air chemistry and their relationships with the forest damages observed in Switzerland in the early 1980s. 
 
In 1990 she was awarded the worldwide first `Sir Winston Churchill Award' by the British Council (London) to start - in 1991 - her research on meteorology and ozone under the supervision of Professor Trevor D. Davies, Professor Stuart A. Penkett and Dr P. Mick Kelly at the School of Environmental Sciences / Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K. for which she was, in 1994,  awarded a Ph.D. from the University of East Anglia, Norwich, U.K.
(Schuepbach, 1994; Davies and Schuepbach, 1994)
 
Soon after completion of her Ph.D. in the U.K. she was offered the position of an `Oberassistentin' in the Swiss Governmental Programme on the Promotion of Young Scientists (`Sonderprogramm Nachwuchsfoerderung') at Berne University.  She set up her 
own Research Group on `Climate and Background Ozone' (CABO) with up to 11 researchers, continued the Swiss-British Collaboration on the Jungfraujoch Studies with the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich (U.K.), and also set up collaboration with other Universities in Europe on climate change and tropospheric ozone..
 
Dr Schuepbach is involved - and directs - many research projects, including projects in Framework IV and V (`ENVIRONMENT') and  EUROTRAC-2, where she is a Member of the Scientific Steering Committee in TRAP-45  and TOR-2. Her research interests focus on the dynamics and chemistry of ozone (including historical ozone) in the troposphere, the links between surface variables and atmospheric circulation, and climate change over the Europe / Atlantic region past the last 100 years. 
 
Researchers working in CABO (M.Sc. students, Ph.D. students, Scientific Collaborators, PostDocs) come from a wide range of fields including oceanography, engineering, physics and geography, and originate from Switzerland and EU - countries. Graduates  who carried out their M.Sc. thesis in CABO found positions  in Trainee Programmes in the Banking and Environmental Sector, employment in Private Companies or with Swiss Railway, at the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), Reading, U.K., or enrolled in Ph.D. programmes.
