Wie reagieren Atmosphäre und Wolken auf einen Rückgang der Emissionen in den kommenden Jahrzehnten? Welche Aerosole gibt es im Südlichen Ozean und woher kommen sie? Um diese und weitere Fragen zu beantworten, unterstützt das Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) eine Gruppe von Forschenden unter der Leitung des Leibniz-Instituts für Troposphärenforschung (TROPOS) in der […]

The HALO-South expedition: Immersion in a (nearly) untouched atmosphere Between early September and mid-October, the HALO research aircraft took off from Christchurch almost daily to conduct measurement flights out to the open sea and into the clouds. The scientists’ goal on the HALO South mission was to investigate in detail the process of cloud formation

Where unpolluted and polluted air masses alternately leave their mark on the atmosphere: Start of the „goSouth-2“ field experiment in New Zealand to investigate the effects of air pollution on cloud formation. When it comes to clouds, the region in the far south of New Zealand (Aotearoa) is unique in the world: it is one

Um den Klimawandel in der Arktis besser zu verstehen, unterfliegt Halo den europäisch-japanischen Earthcare-Satelliten zum Vergleich von Messdaten. Die Arktis zählt zu den am stärksten vom Klimawandel betroffenen Regionen. Die Temperatur ist hier in den letzten Jahrzehnten etwa viermal so stark angestiegen wie im globalen Durchschnitt. Warum sich die Arktis so viel stärker erwärmt als
