The EarthCARE detectives hit 100 in awe-inspiring global investigation

Media Reports & Press Releases |

This was a significant moment in the quest to calibrate and validate data from the satellite’s four trailblazing instruments, which work in synergy to shed light on a major mystery – how clouds and aerosols affect Earth’s climate. The EarthCARE Data, Innovation and Science Cluster produces the algorithms and science products that make EarthCARE data […]

Forschungsflugzeug Halo auf Mission in der Arktis

Media Reports & Press Releases |

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

Airborne Campaign Analyzing Climate Change in the Arctic

Media Reports & Press Releases |

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

Successful first mission flight for ASCCI mission

HALO updates |

Today’s first long mission flight of HALO for the ASCCI mission went well. Landing was approx. 18:41 local and thus almost 9:40 hours flight time practically as planned. No major instrument problems were reported in the de-briefing. We will now continue with three ground days as planned and the transfer to Kiruna as a longer measurement flight

HALO mission integration ongoing

HALO updates |

Preparations for the next HALO mission are on the way. During the ASCCI campaign, scientists aim at improving their understanding of: 1. Inter-annual variability of Arctic lower stratospheric ozone depletion and the implications for radiative forcing and surface climate impacts of ozone recovery2. High latitude stratosphere-troposphere exchange and the structure of the high latitude tropopause3.
