CAFE-Pacific – Campaign interview with Linda Ort

Media Reports & Press Releases |

As part of the large-scale aircraft measurement campaign CAFE-PACIFIC, Linda Ort, a doctoral candidate at MPIC, spent two months in Australia with her research colleagues. Using the research aircraft HALO and specialized measurement instruments, the team investigated cloud chemistry in the tropical region between Indonesia and northern Australia. In the video, Linda shares her impressions […]

Premium Podcast: The mission to measure our atmosphere – Australian Aviation

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Earlier this year, a German team led a research mission over the Pacific Ocean to collect detailed measurements of the atmosphere, in order to better understand the chemistry of climate. Using a heavily-modified Gulfstream G550 (pictured), the Chemistry of the Atmosphere: Field Experiment (CAFE) team’s CAFE-Pacific mission flew for up to nine hours at a

German scientists measuring cloud chemistry above Australia and Pacific in flying HALO laboratory

Media Reports & Press Releases |

A team of German scientists have been circling the skies above northern Australia and the Pacific Ocean in a high-tech research aircraft studying the atmospheric chemistry occurring above the clouds. The Chemistry of the Atmosphere: Field Experiment (CAFE) team has tracked weather events and taken samples and measurements up to 15 kilometres above sea level.

PHILEAS – Measurements with HALO in air masses from the Asian monsoon

Media Reports & Press Releases |

The upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) are particularly sensitive to changes in chemical composition. This region is very important for the radiation budget of the Earth’s atmosphere, and most long-haul air traffic takes place in it. In order to correctly classify the impact of aviation, it is important to understand the background atmosphere where
