Description

Full mission name: The interplay of Clouds, Aerosols and Radiation above the Southern Ocean

Description:

The Southern Ocean is one of the cloudiest regions on Earth, with a high cloud radiative effect, and also with a high bias in atmospheric models. HALO-South investigates the relation between aerosols and clouds in the southern hemisphere from cloud droplet and ice nucleation to the production of cloud and ice active particles partly triggered by increased radiation above clouds and cloud optical properties. The campaign is embedded in parallel intensive field activities including ground-based measurements from New Zeeland and is supported by satellite investigations.
