Pictures of the Month 2016

Back

2016-01: Eine Gruppe des Instituts für Aerosol und Sensor Technologie der Fachhochschule Nordwest in Windisch führte auf Jungfraujoch eine intensive Kampagne durch, um einen neuen Vulkanasche-Sensor bei Aussenbedingungen zu testen. Die Forscher wollten heraufinden wie gut der Sensor verschiedene Partikeltypen wie Wassertropfen, Eiskristalle und staubähnliche Partikel unterscheiden kann.
2016-02: The cosmic ray detector at Jungfraujoch, operated by the Physikalisches Institut of the University of Bern since 1958. The picture shows the open detector housing on the Sphinx terrace with the IGY neutron monitor inside.
2016-03: The old and new president of the International Foundation HFSJG at the handover ceremony at Jungfraujoch: Prof. Erwin Flückiger (2010 – 29.02.2016, on the left) and Prof. Silvio Decurtins (from the 01.03.2016 on, on the right).
2016-04: The comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko observed from the Gornergrat the 24th September 2015. “Chury” is the destination of ESA’s Rosetta mission that started in March 2004. After more than 10 years, Rosetta reached the comet in August 2014. Ever since then a suite of scientific instruments, and among them the Bernese contribution “ROSINA”, are analyzing the comet and performing the closest inspection ever made of such an object. The mission will officially end in September of this year. © Stellarium Gornergrat.
2016-05: At Gornergrat, the Stellarium Gornergrat project has been entering the operational phase (application by schools and the general public). On this occasion, HFSJG invited a few guests from the involved institutions to the Kulmhotel Gornergrat.
2016-05: At Gornergrat, the Stellarium Gornergrat project has been entering the operational phase (application by schools and the general public). Dr. Timm Riesen, project manager of "Stellarium Gornergrat", presents the project.
2016-06: Beautiful cloud formations – photographed at Jungfraujoch. Photo by Dr. Ronny Lorenzo, armasuisse.
2016-07: Researchers from the Helmholtz Zentrum München and the University of Bern, working on a Bonner Sphere Spectrometer installation in the Sphinx cupola. They performed spectrometry measurements of secondary cosmic ray neutrons at an elevation of 3582 m a.s.l. The aim of this project is to identify the environmental parameters which influence the spectral distribution of secondary cosmic ray neutrons at high elevations in Alpine regions.
2016-08: The University of Helsinki (Federico Bianchi in the picture) in collaboration with the Paul Scherrer Institute installed a Neutral Cluster & Air Ion Spectrometer (NAIS) on the Jungfrau East Ridge. With this instrument the number concentration of both ions and not neutral clusters in the atmosphere according to their electrical mobility distribution will be measured for the next two years. Hopefully retrieving as much information as possible regarding new particle formation in the free troposphere. Photo by Erik Herrmann, PSI.
2016-09: A delegation of Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology, visited the Research Station at Jungfraujoch (from left to right): Dr. Brigitte Buchmann, Head of Department Mobility, Energy and Environment, Prof. Markus Leuenberger, Director HFSJG, Prof. Gian-Luca Bona, Director Empa, Dr. Lukas Emmenegger, Head of Laboratory for Air Pollution/Environmental Technology, Prof. Silvio Decurtins, President HFSJG. Since 1972, Empa is actively contributing to environmental research at Jungfraujoch through gas and aerosol measurements. Photo by Felix Seiler
2016-10: Prof. Heinz Gäggeler, President of the Jungfraujoch-Commission of the SCNAT, and four winners of the ‘Schweizer Jugend forscht’ competition 2016 spent two days at the research station at Jungfraujoch (from left to right: Heinz Gäggeler, Johannes Schwenke, Timo Kofmehl, Vania Vicenzi, Gianluca Giuliani).

2016-11: The Executive Board of the University of Bern as well as the Director and President HFSJG visited the Research Station Gornergrat and the Stellarium Gornergrat project in perfect weather. (from left to right: Prof. Leumann and wife, Prof. Wastl-Walter and husband, Prof. Moretti and wife, Prof. Leuenberger and wife, Dr. Riesen, Dr. Pappa and Mrs. Schmid, Prof. Conzelmann and wife, Dr. Odermatt, Prof. Candinas and wife, Prof. Decurtins and wife)
2016-12: The HFSJG representatives during a visit at the centre for meteorological measurement technology of MeteoSwiss in Payerne (from left to right: Dr. Yves-Alain Roulet, D. Ruffieux, Prof. B. Calpini - all MeteoSwiss, Prof. M. Leuenberger, Director HFSJG). Photo by Prof. S. Decurtins, President HFSJG
