NAWDIC measurement flights
The DLR research aircraft HALO is operating at altitudes of up to 14 kilometres for the NAWDIC (North Atlantic Waveguide, Dry Intrusion, and Downstream Impact Campaign) measurement campaign. Using specially developed laser remote-sensing instruments on board, the research teams record continuous vertical profiles of wind, ozone and humidity between the aircraft and Earth's surface.
