A return journey was made to Kühlungsborn from mid-September to mid-October. The goal was to continue lidar measurements but for nickel (Ni) this time rather than aluminium oxide (AlO).

Some beer was still enjoyed along the way. The goal of the fieldwork was to successfully measure the aluminium and nickel layers in the upper atmosphere, a region […]
