the polar aircraft with RV Polarstern could be realized within this week. As Polarstern could not move fast in the thick sea ice, this gave us the opportunity to meet Polarstern in relative close distance [...] Polar 6, a first flight towards Polarstern was performed. Weather conditions were cloud free in lower areas and allowed a flight in low levels. In the area of Polarstern profiles for aerosol and trace gas [...] towards the location of Polarstern. The AMALi configuration was changed to zenith viewing mode in advance of the flight. The flight plans had to be changed for two reasons. First, Polarstern did significantly
