Where unpolluted and polluted air masses alternately leave their mark on the atmosphere: Start of the „goSouth-2“ field experiment in New Zealand to investigate the effects of air pollution on cloud formation. When it comes to clouds, the region in the far south of New Zealand (Aotearoa) is unique in the world: it is one […]
The German research aircraft HALO is currently being prepared for deployment in New Zealand at its home base at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen: During the „HALO-South“ mission, which will begin in September, researchers led by the Leibniz Institute of Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) will investigate the interaction of clouds, aerosols, and radiation over
Third and final part of the CAFE research expedition to study photochemistry and aerosol particle formation in the tropical atmosphere. In January and February, the German research aircraft HALO will be flying from Australia to investigate a climate change hotspot on the equator. It is the third part of a large-scale series of expeditions dealing

TROPOS analysis: Wildfire smoke becomes increasingly important for climate models due to climate change The 2019/20 wildfires in Australia transported more smoke into the atmosphere than observed ever before anywhere in the world. In the so-called Black Summer, three times as many particles reached high air layers as in the previous record wildfires in Canada
