The harmful greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) enter the atmosphere from both natural and man-made sources. The goal of the CoMet 2.0 Arctic mission with the HALO research aircraft in the summer of 2022 was to find out how much greenhouse gases the various sources actually emit. For this purpose, we equipped […]

Grupo usa avião adaptado para estudar como nuvem de ‚partículas misteriosas‘ a 15 km do solo impacta a Amazônia O projeto chamado CAFE-Brazil busca compreender uma camada de gases encontrada na atmosfera da região em 2016. Além de sua existência ser desconhecida até então, os cientistas ainda não sabem qual a função que ela exerce.
Jato alemão com sondas tem sido visto voando em círculos na Amazônia desde o começo do mês Um avião executivo do modelo Gulfstream G550, de matrícula alemã D-ADLR, tem sido visto na região de Manaus desde o começo deste dezembro. Numa rotina que se repete ao longo dos dias, ele decola, faz voos com vários

Avião especial realiza experimento sobre influência da floresta no clima da Amazônia MANAUS – Foi dada a largada para um grande experimento científico inédito na Amazônia, o chamado Cafe-Brazil – Chemistry of the Amazonian Atmosphere-Field Experiment in Brazil. Por dois meses, dezembro e janeiro, a atmosfera amazônica será analisada em detalhes, com um avião especial, cujos
Today, HALO performed it first scientific flight over Brazil for the campaign CAFE-Brazil. After a stopover in Sal (Cape Verde) HALO arrived on 2 December in Manaus. The main objective of CAFE-Brazil is to study tropospheric oxidant photochemistry in combination with particle formation and growth mechanisms under clean, pristine conditions over the Amazon rainforest, and contrast

Airborne Campaign Solves Parts of the Riddle of Clouds Cumulus clouds in trade-wind regions cover nearly 20 percent of our planet, producing a cooling effect. Until recently, it was assumed that global warming would reduce the surface covered by these clouds, amplifying the warming. However, a team around Dr. Raphaela Vogel from Universität Hamburg was

Heute wollen wir euch eine weitere Messkampagne vorstellen.Von dem Forschungsflugzeug HALO haben wir euch vor einiger Zeit schonmal berichtet (15.10.2021 & 05.11.2021). Damals im Zusammenhang mit der Messkampagne CIRRUS-HL.Diesmal war HALO nicht alleine unterwegs und hatte auch ein paar andere Geräte an Bord, aber eins nach dem anderen.Erstmal zum Kampagnen Namen HALO-(AC)³. Der erste Teil

Im Frühjahr 2022 fand die großangelegte Forschungskampagne HALO-(AC)³ in der Arktis ausgehend von Kiruna/Nordschweden und Ny-Ålesund/Spitzbergen statt. Mehr als 100 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, 3 Forschungsflugzeuge, Ballon und Bodenmessstationen waren im Einsatz, um die arktische Verstärkung, die immer rasantere Erwärmung der Arktis, in Zeiten des Klimawandels zu erforschen. Dabei schauten die Forschungsteams besonders auf die nordwärts gerichteten Warmlufteinschübe

Methane is produced by oil and gas extraction, coal mining, landfills, farming, wetlands, and thawing permafrost areas. But what are the exact numbers for each source? To find out, the HALO research aircraft has been operating over Canada – with researchers from the University of Bremen on board. “Methane in the Earth’s atmosphere is considered
