Wie das Forschungsflugzeug HALO im Nordatlantik Extremwetter untersucht: Die internationale NAWDIC-Kampagne liefert neue Erkenntnisse für präzisere Winter-Wettervorhersagen in Europa. Extreme Winterstürme, Starkregen und plötzliche Kälteeinbrüche stellen Europa Jahr für Jahr vor große Herausforderungen. Besonders Westeuropa ist häufig betroffen, wenn sich über dem Nordatlantik mächtige Tiefdrucksysteme bilden und ostwärts ziehen. Ereignisse wie das jüngste Sturmtief „Elli“
