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).

Airborne Lidar System Poised to Improve Accuracy of Climate Models


August 2019
Researchers from the DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics have developed a laser-based system that can be used for airborne measurements of important greenhouse gases with unprecedented accuracy and resolution. The new system might even be useful for monitoring trace gases from space.
