KIT, DLR, FZJ, and the Universities of Mainz and Frankfurt coordinate measurement campaign with the HALO research aircraft to study the southern atmosphere and its impacts on climate change
Business Announcement Karlsruher Institut für Technologie (KIT)
Trace gases, such as ozone and water vapor, are effective greenhouse gases and play an important role in climate change. Al-though substances like chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) that considerably thin the ozone layer have been forbidden since the late 1980s, it will take several decades until the ozone layer will have recovered. A big ozone hole has developed above the Antarctic. Its impact on climate change in the southern hemisphere is now studied by the „SouthTRAC“ campaign in which Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is involved.
