Full title in the source: Infrastructure Priority Programme “Atmospheric and Earth System Research with the "High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft" (HALO)” (SPP 1294)
Open
Applications close on 27 Nov 2026.
The present call invites proposals for projects (with a duration of up to three years) starting in 2028 (“HALO 2028”). It is a state-of-the-art airborne platform specifically equipped with modern in situ and remote sensing instruments. HALO enables cutting-edge Earth System science and allows innovative atmospheric and geophysical measurements with an impressive high ceiling altitude of up to 15 km and a spatial endurance of about 10,000 km. It may carry an instrumental payload of up to 3 tons and can be used to study processes within the troposphere and lower stratosphere.
Main foci of the scientific investigations are: • sources, properties and processing of aerosol particles • formation, evolution and radiative effects of clouds and precipitation • transport and dynamics in the troposphere and lower stratosphere • transport and transformation of chemical composition • atmospheric coupling processes Proposals must be written in English and submitted to the DFG by 27 November 2026 and should primarily refer to an upcoming mission, while it is also possible to…
