Die dras­ti­sche Er­wär­mung der Ark­tis und ih­re ge­mein­schaft­li­che Er­for­schung

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Im Frühjahr 2022 fand die großangelegte Forschungskampagne HALO-(AC)³ in der Arktis ausgehend von Kiruna/Nordschweden und Ny-Ålesund/Spitzbergen statt. Mehr als 100 Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler, 3 Forschungsflugzeuge, Ballon und Bodenmessstationen waren im Einsatz, um die arktische Verstärkung, die immer rasantere Erwärmung der Arktis, in Zeiten des Klimawandels zu erforschen. Dabei schauten die Forschungsteams besonders auf die nordwärts gerichteten Warmlufteinschübe […]

Bremen Participates in Research Flights over Canada

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Methane is produced by oil and gas extraction, coal mining, landfills, farming, wetlands, and thawing permafrost areas. But what are the exact numbers for each source? To find out, the HALO research aircraft has been operating over Canada – with researchers from the University of Bremen on board. “Methane in the Earth’s atmosphere is considered

Re­search flights over Cana­da anal­yse green­house gas­es

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Coal mining, oil and gas production, landfill and agriculture are all anthropogenic sources of the greenhouse gas methane, which is the second most important contributor to climate change after carbon dioxide. A methane molecule has an up to 86 times stronger climate impact than carbon dioxide. This is compounded by Earth’s large wetlands and thawing

Smoke from the Black Summer wildfires in Australia impacted the climate and high altitude winds of the southern hemisphere for more than a year and a half

Media Reports & Press Releases |

TROPOS analysis: Wildfire smoke becomes increasingly important for climate models due to climate change The 2019/20 wildfires in Australia transported more smoke into the atmosphere than observed ever before anywhere in the world. In the so-called Black Summer, three times as many particles reached high air layers as in the previous record wildfires in Canada

Cleaner air as a result of coronavirus lockdown

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Lockdowns in early summer 2020 meant that the amount of soot in the atmosphere, which is harmful to the climate and to health, almost halved uring the first lockdown of the coronavirus pandemic, soot concentrations in the atmosphere over Western and Southern Europe almost halved. This is apparent from the comparison of two measurement campaigns carried

Warm Air Intrusion and Atmospheric River event opened the HALO-(AC)3 campaign

Media Reports & Press Releases |

The goal of the HALO-(AC)3 campaign is to gain a better understanding of the air mass transformations within a Warm Air Intrusion (WAI) and Cold Air Outbreak (CAO). During a WAI, warm and moist air is transported into the Arctic. During a CAO cold and dry air is transported out of the Arctic. On the 11th of
