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
Vorbereitung für die Expedition Halo-South zum Südpolarmeer. Das Stratosphärenflugzeug Halo wird in Oberpfaffenhofen vom Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) und den Wissenschaftlern vom Leibniz-Institut für Troposphärenforschung (Tropos) Leipzig vorbereitet. Es geht um Wolkenforschung. See video (Deutsch)
The German research aircraft HALO is currently being prepared for deployment in New Zealand at its home base at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen: During the „HALO-South“ mission, which will begin in September, researchers led by the Leibniz Institute of Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) will investigate the interaction of clouds, aerosols, and radiation over
We are pleased to announce that again, alongside our colleagues at the University of Canterbury, we have been awarded a Smart Idea grant (Optimizing Next-Generation Climate Model Precipitation Projections for Improved Climate Resilience) from the Aotearoa New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) to support the upcoming Go South initiative. Go South is an

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

KIT Researchers and Partners Investigating Effects of Ozone and Water Vapor in Troposphere and Stratosphere The Arctic is one of the regions most strongly affected by climate change. In recent decades, the temperature there has risen four times as fast as the global average. The ASCCI measurement campaign coordinated by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology

An international group of researchers, with the participation of Brazilians in particular, has succeeded for the first time in unraveling the physiochemical mechanism that explains the complex system of rain formation in the Amazon, which influences the global climate. It involves the production of aerosol nanoparticles, electrical discharges and chemical reactions at high altitudes that
Trees emit isoprene, which reacts with other molecules and increases the production of cloud condensation nuclei 100-fold A defense mechanism that has emerged and disappeared several times over the evolutionary history of different lines of plants, particularly trees in hot environments, plays a crucial role in Amazonia in one of the most important land climate
