Institute of Atmospheric Physics The Institute of Atmospheric Physics investigates the physics and chemistry of the global atmosphere from the Earth's surface up to the upper boundary of the middle atmosphere at about 120 km height. As an institute of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) we answer questions associated with atmospheric processes and with relevance to the research programmes "Aeronautics, Space, and Transportation" and "Energy" of the Helmholtz Association (HGF).

Ozone hole over the Arctic 18 March 2020 Ozone data derived from satellite measurements are showing currently a typical ozone hole feature in the polar Northern hemisphere (Arctic). Usually such a feature has been observed in polar Southern hemisphere in spring (Antarctic) but not in the Arctic. Full article

Impact of enhanced chlorofluorocarbon-11 emissions on the ozone layer 25. November 2019 For the first time a Chemistry-Climate Model (CCM) has been used to assess the impact of unexpected emissions of chlorofluorocarbon-11 (CFC-11, CFCl3) on the stratospheric ozone layer. Full article

ERC Synergy Grant for IPA scientist Veronika Eyring 15 October 2019 Prestigious European Research Council grant will support interdisciplinary team’s work to improve climate models and the way how Earth system data are analysed and interpreted by combining machine learning with physical models of the atmosphere and land.
