Special features of the Arctic climate, such as the strong reflection of the sun’s rays off the light snow or the low position of the sun, amplify global warming in the Arctic. However, researchers are often faced with the challenge of modelling the underlying climatic processes in order to be able to provide reliable weather […]
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

Heute wollen wir euch eine weitere Messkampagne vorstellen.Von dem Forschungsflugzeug HALO haben wir euch vor einiger Zeit schonmal berichtet (15.10.2021 & 05.11.2021). Damals im Zusammenhang mit der Messkampagne CIRRUS-HL.Diesmal war HALO nicht alleine unterwegs und hatte auch ein paar andere Geräte an Bord, aber eins nach dem anderen.Erstmal zum Kampagnen Namen HALO-(AC)³. Der erste Teil

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

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

What a successful day! P5, P6 and HALO had their first joint research flight on Sunday! If you ask yourself “What is HALO? And what is special about a joint flight?” then read on… First, let’s start with something you already know from the previous posts: P5 and P6 are polar aircraft, which participate in
