Cirrus in High Latitudes

June/July 2021

CIRRUS-HL is a DFG-funded HALO mission with the objective to study high latitude cirrus clouds. The mission is coordinated by Prof. C. Voigt (DLR/JGU Mainz).

The mission was conducted in June/July 2021 out of Oberpfaffenhofen, Germany. Although the schedule had to be modified several times due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation, the mission was very successful with 24 flights (2 test flights and 22 scientific flights).
