Third and final part of the CAFE research expedition to study photochemistry and aerosol particle formation in the tropical atmosphere. The year 2024 is off to an exciting start at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry: Many of its researchers will be heading to Cairns in north-eastern Australia in the first few days of January. […]

In the PHILEAS project (Probing High Latitude Export of Air from the Asian Summer Monsoon), measurement flights with the high-altitude research aircraft HALO were conducted from August to the end of September 2023 to investigate the influence of the Asian summer monsoon on the global climate. The campaign was led by the Forschungs zentrum Jülich

Im Projekt PHILEAS (Probing High Latitude Export of Air from the Asian Summer Monsoon) werden unter Leitung des Forschungszentrums Jülich und der Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz seit dem 6. August 2023 Messflüge mit dem Höhenforschungsflugzeug HALO durchgeführt. Damit wollen die beteiligten Wissenschaftler:innen bis Anfang Oktober den Einfluss des asiatischen Sommermonsuns auf das globale Klima untersuchen. Nach

In diesem Video wird die Forschungskampagne PHILEAS (Probing High Latitude Export of Air from the Asian Summer Monsoon) vorgestellt, die im Sommer 2023 von einem Team von Atmosphärenforscher:innen durchgeführt wird. Die Kampagne zielt darauf ab, den Transport von verschmutzten Luftmassen aus dem asiatischen Monsun in Südostasien bis in die untere Stratosphäre über Europa zu untersuchen
The extreme precipitation that occurs during the Asiatic monsoon season repeatedly causes catastrophic devastation in Southeast Asia. The same weather systems which cause these extreme events also affect the altitude region of 12 to 20 kilometers. Strong convection transports partly heavily polluted air masses from the ground-level atmosphere in Southeast Asia into this altitude region,

Ein deutsch-brasilianisches Forschungsprojekt nimmt Messungen in der Atmosphäre vor, um den tropischen Regenwald besser zu verstehen. Wenn Joachim Curtius vom deutsch-brasilianischen Projekt CAFE-Brazil erzählt, kommt der Atmosphärenforscher ins Schwärmen. 60 Tage lang war er in der brasilianischen Tropenstadt Manaus im Amazonasgebiet, um mit dem Forschungsflugzeug HALO über dem Regenwald Messungen vorzunehmen, gemeinsam mit 70 weiteren Wissenschaftlerinnen und

As we reported earlier in this blog, we participated in the airborne field campaign HALO-(AC)³ In March and April 2022. The goal of the campaign was to improve the understanding of the airmasses transformation when transported into or out of the Arctic. Two types of airmass transports were of particular interest: First, moist and warm

Exhausted, satisfied and with huge data sets in their bags,most of the participants of the CAFE Brazil campaignreturned home at the end of January. Some had beenthere since the beginning of the two-month expedition andhad spent the turn of the year south of the equator. Amongthem is meteorologist Linda Ort from Horst Fischer‘sworking group. She
