ORCESTRA: Exploring Tropical Clouds and their Impact on Climate

Media Reports & Press Releases |

The ORCESTRA started his performance on August 10th in Cap Verde. The PERCUSION gives the beat by flying back and forth across the belt of deep rain over the tropical Atlantic Ocean, while the MAESTRO directs his plane around fields of broken cumuli around Cap Verde to understand how convective storms form and organize. The

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

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

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
