The IMKASF
The Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research Atmospheric Trace Gases and Remote Sensing (IMKASF) investigates dynamic, microphysical and chemical processes in the Earth’s atmosphere, with the goal to understand, quantify and predict its natural variability and long-term changes.
Accurate measurements of atmospheric trace gases, aerosols and clouds from various observational platforms (ground-based stations, air craft, balloons, satellites) provide the data that are required for the modelling of atmospheric processes.
Particular focus of the activities of IMKASF is to investigate the complex links and feedbacks between climate change, dynamics and transport, and atmospheric chemistry.
Dr. Eva Pauli (SKL) recently shared insights from her current fog research at IMKASF in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung and NASA's Earth Observatory blog „Image of the day“.

On 16 und 17 October Helmholtz scientists met for a workshop in Karlsruhe to discuss recent developments in remote sensing of the Earth system.
