Projektbeschreibung

Wie Rumäniens luftgestützte Wolkenmikrophysik-Forschungsplattform neue Höhen erklimmt

Atmosphärische Aerosole, d. h. flüssige und feste, in der Atmosphäre schwebende Teilchen, bestimmen das Klima der Erde in entscheidendem Maße mit. Egal ob natürlich oder vom Menschen verursacht: Sie beeinflussen die Bildung, die Eigenschaften und den Lebenszyklus der Wolken. Die Charakterisierung dieser Wechselwirkungen ist für die Bewertung und Vorhersage der Auswirkungen der Aktivitäten des Menschen auf den Klimawandel wichtig. Das Nationale Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrtforschung „Elie Carafoli“ (INCAS) in Bukarest ist der einzige Betreiber einer luftgestützten Wolkenforschungsplattform in Osteuropa und befindet sich somit in einer einzigartigen Position, um die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Aerosolen und Wolken zu erkunden. Das EU-finanzierte Projekt BRACE-MY wird die Kapazitäten und den Bekanntheitsgrad des INCAS im Rahmen einer Partnerschaftsmaßnahme steigern, indem es Kompetenzen und Ausrüstung zur Verfügung stellt, um an Daten zu gelangen, diese zu verarbeiten und zu interpretieren, um zukünftige Vorhersagen zum Klimawandel zu verbessern.

Ziel

As the only airborne cloud research platform holder in Eastern Europe, INCAS is in the perfect position to be a well-known R&D organisation that obtain urgently needed data sets, process and interpret them in order to improve future climate projections. However, to date, a lack of presenting these capabilities has left INCAS too little known in the cloud research community and therefore, underutilized research partner with excellent and very useful facilities. Through the BRACE-MY project, INCAS team will obtain the required skills and an additional equipment needed to complement their research capabilities with state-of-the art aerosol sampling techniques. The foreseen research, conducted in conjunction with strong twinning activities will transfer the skills required for INCAS to perform aerosol-cloud interaction research and elevate its reputation to that of a leader in the cloud and aerosol community. This will be achieved by using a “learning by doing” approach to transfer the best practices for conducting research, disseminating results and educating young scientists from the world-class project partners to INCAS. In particular, this will include: the development of an ice nucleating particle counter based on a state-of-the-art aerosol sampling system provided by a project partner, conducting research flights, publishing and presenting research results within internationally recognized platforms, organizing and lecturing at summer schools designed for upcoming researcher in the field and gaining the managerial skills required to become a recognized partner for aerosol and cloud microphysics research. The project partners have been selected to ensure that all of the objectives are guided by leaders in the field of aerosol and cloud research and acting as a research provider. Therefore, BRACE-MY will give INCAS, a research institute in a “widening country”, the opportunity to elevate itself to an internationally recognized cloud and aerosol research institute.
