Better Understanding of Climate with Commercial Airliners

Jülich, 21 October 2014 – The European research infrastructure IAGOS equips long-haul aircraft operated by large commercial airlines with measuring instruments in order to analyse the distribution of climate-relevant trace substances in the atmosphere.
