Above the Clouds: HALO Measurement Campaign Successfully Completed

Media Reports & Press Releases | November 28, 2024

Over a period of more than three months, scientists have collected data on cloud formation in the Atlantic with the HALO research aircraft, and repeatedly performed flights underneath the EarthCARE satellite for joint measurements. This campaign, called PERCUSION, was led by the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology and the German Aerospace Center and has now […]

ORCESTRA: Exploring Tropical Clouds and their Impact on Climate

Media Reports & Press Releases | August 12, 2024

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

Clouds from every angle

Media Reports & Press Releases | Januar 22, 2020

The EUREC4A field study is aimed at solving one of the great mysteries in relation to climate change When it comes to predicting the extent of global warming by the end of the century, clouds are one of the greatest uncertainty factors. Cumulus clouds in lower layers of the atmosphere, reflect sunlight, thereby cooling the

EUREC4A—an international field study to test hypothesized cloud controlling factors influencing weather and climateClouds from every angle

Media Reports & Press Releases | Januar 16, 2020

From 20 January through 20 February 2020, the EUREC4A (Elucidating the role of clouds-circulation coupling in climate) field study will investigate trade wind clouds in the Tropical Atlantic. EUREC4A is a French-German initiated field study led by Prof Bjorn Stevens, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI-M) and head of the department “The

Vom Ziel zur Realität: Das Forschungsflugzeug HALO ist da!

Media Reports & Press Releases | Januar 26, 2009

Am Samstag, dem 24. Januar 2009, ist das neue deutsche Forschungsflugzeug HALO in Oberpfaffenhofen gelandet. Zusammen mit den Nutzern aus der gesamten deutschen Atmosphärenforschung freuen sich besonders die Wissenschaftler des Max-Planck-Institutes für Chemie in Mainz, denn sie waren Ideengeber und haben maßgeblich an der Umsetzung mitgearbeitet. HALO, ein Flugzeug der Marke Gulfstream G550, eröffnet der
