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.

Plate Lines accelerate wake vortex decay during final approach
15 July 2019
The DLR Institute of Atmospheric Physics works together with partners to further increase flight safety. So-called Plate Lines, which shall accelerate wake vortex decay during final approach, have been installed at Vienna International Airport. The evaluation of first measurements of the three lidars is promising.
