The purpose of the Special Issue is to publish main results from the airborne field campaign HALO-(AC)³ studying warm-air intrusions and cold-air outbreaks and corresponding air mass transformations. HALO-(AC)³ took place in the area around Svalbard in March and April 2022. The campaign is embedded into a Transregional Collaborative Research Centre ( http://www.ac3-tr.de/) that investigates causes and consequences of the currently ongoing dramatic climate changes in the Arctic.
