PINEair is a new version of the Portable Ice Nucleation Experiment PINE for aircraft-based measurements of ice-nucleating particles (INPs). For the first time, the instrument measures INPs onboard the German research aircraft HALO during the HALO-SOUTH mission, which targets aerosol-cloud interaction in the Southern Ocean region between New Zealand and Antarctica.
