High Honours for KIT Researcher Fischer:

The international Committee on Space Research (COSPAR) awards Prof. Dr Herbert Fischer, former Head of the Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research at the KIT, with the William Nordberg Medal 2012. COSPAR thus honours Fischer's outstanding achievements in the field of atmospheric research. Since the 1980s, Fischer had decisively co-determined the development of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy for atmosphere remote sensing, by which the concentration of trace gases in the atmosphere can be determined. Fischer is the first German scientist to be awarded this medal.
