HALO

Dramatic warming in the Arctic

Joint press release by Leipzig University + Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) + German Aerospace Center (DLR) + Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) + Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) + Hamburg University + University of Cologne + Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (MPIC) ) + Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich (LMU)

In mid-March 2022, the large-scale international HALO-(AC)3 research campaign will begin investigating transformations of air masses in the Arctic. Three German aircraft will be deployed, scientists from the UK and France will also be involved during joint flights with two further aircraft. The team of researchers will be focusing particularly on northwards-flowing warm air reaching into the central Arctic, which are often called warm air intrusions. The counterpart, cold air outbreaks with southwards-moving cold air from the Arctic, will also be investigated. The goal is to investigate the processes causing the above-average increase in temperatures in the Arctic during the last decades.
