Planning of the First HALO Missions
During a workshop held in Oberpfaffen on March 16 a variety of mission
proposals was presented by future HALO users (Link to meetings). The
different mission proposals were divided into eight groups:
|
Research Topic
|
Representative
|
|---|
|
Convection and dynamics
|
C. Kottmeier
|
|
Transport and Exchange at the UTLS
|
A. Engel
|
|
Chemistry and Transport at the free Troposphere
|
J. Lelieveld / A. Wahner
|
|
Geophysics
|
U. Meyer
|
|
Polar Stratosphere
|
C. Blom
|
|

|
U. Schumann
|
|
Earth observation
|
T. Ruhtz
|
|
THORPEX
|
A. Dörnbrack

The representatives of the above mentioned research topics have been
encouraged to work out drafts for HALO mission proposals. These drafts
are the base line for the planning of the first HALO-demonstration
missions starting in Summer 2009 and are available for down load:

HALO Universitäre Nutzer (HUNT)
During a meeting organized at the Institute of Environmental Physics at the University
of Heidelberg in January 2004, scientists from institutes of German universities
defined a large number of HALO-related research topics. In the document available
for download the plans and ideas of academic research groups for HALO are summarized.
