HALO in Australia for CAFE-Pacific mission
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

Zehn Jahre HALO: Interview mit Forschungspilot Stefan Grillenbeck
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
