However, this is not on the minds of more than 60 meteorologists and physicists. Instead, their thoughts are on their upcoming journey through Arctic regions in frigid temperatures. Soon, they will start their elaborate survey of the regions between Greenland and Spitsbergen (Svalbard) on board two specially equipped research planes and one research vessel. Their mission includes finding out what role the Arctic cloud cover plays in the amplified Arctic climate change. The scientists will have eight weeks to answer this and other questions. Their work will contribute to the project 'Arctic Climate Change' funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG; Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) as part of the Umbrella Research Programme (DFG Sonderforschungsbereich) Transregio 172. news-733 Thu, 26 Jan 2017 07:51:00 +0100 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/launch-of-the-atmospheric-simulation-chambers-research-infrastructure-eurochamp-2020-looking-beyond-2020 press release by EUROCHAMP-2020 Klima news-678 Mon, 05 Dec 2016 08:30:00 +0100 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/important-process-for-cloud-formation-from-gases-unravelled new paper in Nature Communications Klima news-669 Thu, 06 Oct 2016 15:22:00 +0200 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/impact-of-sea-smell-overestimated-by-present-climate-models Most comprehensive study on the atmospheric oxidation of the natural climatic gas dimethyl sulfide published Klima news-601 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 14:30:00 +0100 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/atmospheric-research-infrastructure-actris-to-european-updated-research-infrastructure-roadmap Klima news-590 Mon, 21 Dec 2015 12:40:00 +0100 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/tropos-researchers-again-among-the-worlds-most-influential-scientists only eight of Germany under the "Highly Cited Researchers" in the field of Geosciences Klima news-556 Fri, 20 Nov 2015 13:47:00 +0100 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/substantial-funding-for-dfg-transregional-collaborative-research-centre-on-arctic-climate-change Universities of Leipzig, Bremen and Cologne together with AWI and TROPOS successfully Klima news-543 Wed, 30 Sep 2015 06:40:00 +0200 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/surface-of-the-oceans-affects-climate-more-than-thought first detected abiotic source of isoprene Klima news-503 Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:34:00 +0200 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/meteor-expedition-biochemupwell-takes-a-close-look-at-upwelling-zones-in-the-baltic-sea Chemists of TROPOS investigate exchange processes between ocean and atmosphere Klima news-474 Tue, 07 Jul 2015 16:55:00 +0200 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/volcanic-eruptions-slow-down-climate-change Volcanic aerosols have acted as a natural umbrella to slow down global temperature increase from greenhouse gases news-466 Thu, 18 Jun 2015 12:45:00 +0200 https://www.tropos.de/en/current-issues/press-releases/details/the-path-of-light-international-symposium-on-light-scattering-in-leipzig Leipzig.

Scientists made an important step in order to better understand the relationships between vegetation and climate. So-called extremely low-volatility organic compounds, which are produced by plants, could be detected for the first time during field and laboratory experiments in Finland and Germany. These organic species contribute to the formation of aerosol that can affect climate and air quality, they report in this week’s issue of the journal NATURE. The results may help to explain discrepancies between observations and theories about how volatile organic compounds produced by vegetation are converted into atmospheric aerosol – especially over forested regions.
