On 20 August 2025, a scientific research flight was conducted over northern Germany with destination Kühlungsborn as part of the HALO-South mission and its preparatory activities. Flight operations were led by the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS), Leipzig, with coordination by the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, Mainz, in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Oberpfaffenhofen. Ground-based measurements were carried out by the Leibniz Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP), Kühlungsborn.
This contribution presents the first validation results combining ground-based lidar and radar observations with airborne HALO measurements at the tropopause level to assess wind fields and aerosol distributions. The campaign demonstrates the potential of coordinated airborne and ground-based observations to provide a comprehensive, multi-dimensional characterization of atmospheric dynamics and aerosol variability at a single site.
