§07§In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the German Aerospace Center, this book presents outstanding results of the Institute. It covers the entire area of atmospheric science, from fluid dynamics to atmosphere acoustics. §16§On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Atmospheric Physics of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), this book presents more than 50 chapters highlighting results of the institute's research.§The book provides an up-to-date, in-depth survey across the entire field of atmospheric science, including atmospheric dynamics, radiation, cloud physics, chemistry, climate, numerical simulation, remote sensing, instruments and measurements, as well as atmospheric acoustics.§§The authors have provided a readily comprehensible and self-contained presentation of the complex field of atmospheric science. The topics are of direct relevance for aerospace science and technology. Future research challenges are identified.§ §04§§From the Contents: The Atmosphere.- The Atmosphere - from the surface to the stratosphere.- Chemical composition of the atmosphere.- Atmospheric.- The Earth's radiation budget - the driver for weather and climate.- Greenhouse effect, radiative forcing and climate sensitivity.- Methods.- Measurements of nitrogen oxides and related trace gases.- Chemical ionization mass spectrometric measurements of atmospheric trace.- In-situ measurement methods for atmospheric aerosol particles.- Dropsondes.- Lightning detection.- Research trends.- Probabilistic weather forecasting.- Recent and future evolution of the stratospheric ozone.- Aircraft emissions at cruise: In-situ measurements, uncertainties and trends.- Climate impact of transport.- Methane modeling - from process-oriented models to global climate models.- Mitigating the impact of adverse weather on aviation.§ §04§ and radiosondes for atmospheric measurements.- Lightning detection.- Cloud and precipitation radar.- Weather nowcasting and short term forecasting.- Lagrangian modeling of transport and dispersion of air constituents.- Radiative transfer - methods and applications.- Ice cloud properties from space.- Contrail detection in satellite images.- Lidar for aerosol remote sensing.- Measuring water vapor with differential absorption lidar.- Aerosol classification by advanced backscatter lidar techniques.- Wind lidar for atmospheric research.- Tunable light sources for lidar applications.- Advanced numerical modeling of turbulent atmospheric flows.- Cloud resolving modeling of the evolution of contrails.- Global atmospheric aerosol modeling.- Earth system modeling.- Evaluating climate-chemistry response and mitigation options with AirClim.- Research trends.- The transition from FALCON to HALO era airborne atmospheric research.- The Eyjafjalla eruption in 2010 and the volcanic impact on avi §04§ation.- Mitigating the impact of adverse weather on aviation.- Probabilistic weather forecasting.-Aircraft emissions at cruise and plume processes.- Cirrus clouds and their model representation.- Climate impact of transport.- Climate optimized air transport.- Recent and future evolution of the stratospheric ozone layer.- How good are chemistry-climate models?.- Methane modeling - from process modeling to global climate models.- Towards a greenhouse gas lidar in space.- The space-borne wind lidar mission ADM-Aeolus.- Cloud-aerosol-radiation interaction - towards the EarthCARE satellite mission.- Roots, foundation, and achievements of the "Institut für Physik der Atmosphäre".- Keywords and cross-references.- Acronyms and abbreviations.- Constants and units§
