Third and final part of the CAFE research expedition to study photochemistry and aerosol particle formation in the tropical atmosphere.
The year 2024 is off to an exciting start at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry: Many of its researchers will be heading to Cairns in north-eastern Australia in the first few days of January. The HALO research aircraft will collect scientific data also as it travels to Australia. It is the third part of a large-scale series of expeditions dealing with oxidation processes in the atmosphere. CAFE stands for „Chemistry of the Atmosphere: Field Experiment.“ The CAFE-PACIFIC project has now been launched to perform measurements over the tropical Pacific region near Indonesia and northern Australia, the region of the Earth where convection, i.e. the vertical transport of air and thus of clouds and water vapor, is most intense.
