Flugzeuge schlimmere Luftverschmutzer als gedacht? – Bluesky: Forschungsflugzeug HALO erkundet Luftschadstoffe

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Der Corona-Shutdown war fraglos gut für die Luftqualität in Deutschland, eines der sichtbarsten Merkmale dafür: der unglaublich blaue Himmel in den vergangenen Wochen. Einen der Hauptgründe dafür benennen nun Wissenschaftler des Mainzer Max-Planck-Instituts: Das Fehlen der Kondensstreifen, weil die Luftfahrt am Boden lag. Genau dafür interessiert sich nun die Forschungsmission „Bluesky“: Mit einem Forschungsflieger wurden […]

First analyses of SouthTRAC observational data shed light on Southern Hemispheric gravity wave behaviour

Media Reports & Press Releases |

The SouthTRAC measurement campaign with the German research aircraft HALO was successfully performed in the region of South America and the Antarctic Peninsula end of 2019. This region is a hotspot of middle atmospheric gravity waves. An overview and first results of the data analysis were presented to the international community by members of our matrix group „Middle

Aircraft spies gravity waves being sucked into Antarctica’s polar vortex

Media Reports & Press Releases |

Researchers solve puzzle of how mountain-generated atmospheric waves wind up in hot spot The Southern Ocean is famously stormy, home to waves taller than telephone poles. Yet 50 kilometers overhead, the weather is just as tempestuous, if less obviously so. Powerful waves in the air break and crash, dumping energy into the stratosphere and disrupting
