HALO in Australia for CAFE-Pacific mission

HALO updates |

HALO is based in Cairns, Australia for the CAFE-Pacific campaign. The main objective of the CAFE missions is to investigate tropical tropospheric oxidant  photochemistry in combination with aerosol particle formation and growth under clean, pristine conditions over land, and contrast the results with those in marine and polluted conditions. The measurements constrain computer models that represent chemical […]

HALO updates |

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

Zehn Jahre HALO: Interview mit Forschungspilot Stefan Grillenbeck

HALO updates |

Zwischen 87 Grad Nord über dem Nordpolarmeer und 65 Grad Süd über der Antarktis war das deutsche Atmosphären-Forschungsflugzeug HALO über die vergangene Dekade im Einsatz. 23 Missionen über alle Ozeane und Kontinente hinweg zählt HALOs Logbuch inzwischen: mehr als 2000 Flugstunden in der Luft für die Forschung in bis zu 15 Kilometern Höhe. Im Interview
