2.1) Airborne research campaign METHANE-To-Go-Europe
•
Challenges during flights to the Balkan region:
。 No stopover to refuel due to Covid-19 → limited measurement time
->
• Low-flight permit difficult in Balkan → performance of „low approach" at nearby airports
• Target region has to be cloud free for satellite validation
o Changing wind forecasts hamper SO2 pollution plume forecast by HYSPLIT
• Extreme high pollutant volume mixing ratios (VMR)
HYSPLIT forecast: SO2 (mean VMR) from selected point sources
