Exposure to ultrafine aerosol particles (UFPs) can cause adverse effects on human health, local environment and climate. Air traffic is associated with the emission of high numbers of UFPs, which results in increased UFP number concentrations close to airports. So far, the spatial distribution and variability of UFPs is poorly understood in the atmospheric boundary layer. The uncrewed aerial system (UAS) ALADINA (Application of Lightweight Aircraft for Detecting In-situ Aerosols, e.g. Altstädter et al., 2015) was operated close to the largest airport in Germany at Frankfurt airport (FRA) between 11 and 19 October 2024. The dataset provides airborne in-situ observations of the spatial distribution of aerosol particle number concentration with different sizes and meteorological parameters of temperature, humidity, wind, surface temperature and short-wave irradiance, as well as accurate position and orientation of ALADINA. Data are available from 26 measurement flights, comprising a number of 122 vertical profiles between ground and a maximum altitude of 750 m above mean sea level (ASL) and about 70 horizontal legs at different but constant altitude, e.g. in 100 m altitude intervals. Details about the ALADINA measurements will be provided in a publication (Harm-Altstädter et al., in prep.) soon.
Gridded Level 3 SO2 total column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. Volcanoes are the largest soures of SO2 in the atmosphere, depending on the erruption the Sulfurous compounds can be injected into stratosphere but in most cases it stays within the troposphere. Another important source is the coal combustion. Desulfurisation facilities within the power stations have reduced the sulfur emissions around the globe. In the stratosphere sulfur is a key component for building up aerosols, which reflect parts of the solar irradiation. The total SO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the ultraviolet wavelength region [using the DOAS method]. Depending on the plume SO2 can be a very strong absorber, because of that the ODAS retrieval might have some smaller issues, they can be reduced by choosing different wavelenght ranges depending on the signal. We apply three different fitting windows between 310 and 360nm. For the AMF, we assume a plumeheight of 6 km altitude. The Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment-2 (GOME-2) instrument continues the long-term monitoring of atmospheric trace gas constituents started with GOME / ERS-2 and SCIAMACHY / Envisat. Three instruments operate on board EUMETSAT's Meteorological Operational satellites MetOp-A, -B, and -C, launched in 2006, 2012, and 2018, respectively. GOME-2 measures a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distribution. Furthermore, cloud properties and intensities of ultraviolet radiation are retrieved. These data are crucial for monitoring the atmospheric composition and the detection of pollutants. DLR generates operational GOME-2 / MetOp products in the framework of EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Atmospheric Composition Monitoring (AC-SAF).
Funds for the central coordination of the research unit 'INUIT' (Ice Nucleation research UnIT) are requested within this proposal. The project serves the coordination and administration of the research unit as well as the promotion of cooperation and communication among the individual scientific projects of the unit. An annual status seminar is organized and conducted within this project. The funds for measures to promote gender equality are managed and measures for training of young researchers are coordinated. Within the project special sessions at international conferences or publication of special issues are initiated. A central data base to store and provide the data from all the various field and laboratory activities to all members of the research unit is maintained within the project. A comprehensive inter-comparison of the results of the ice nucleating properties of the common set of test aerosols studied by the various methods is conducted. An INUIT web page is set up and maintained. To support the INUIT spokesperson in conducting these tasks, staffing for a halftime position of a scientific administrator is applied for.
Aerosol Index (AI) as derived from TROPOMI observations. AI is an indicator for episodic aerosol plumes from dust outbreaks, volcanic ash, and biomass burning. The TROPOMI instrument onboard the Copernicus SENTINEL-5 Precursor satellite is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer that provides global measurements of atmospheric properties and constituents on a daily basis. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and climate, providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the top of atmosphere solar radiation reflected by and radiated from the earth and its atmosphere. The four spectrometers of TROPOMI cover the ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS), Near Infra-Red (NIR) and Short Wavelength Infra-Red (SWIR) domains of the electromagnetic spectrum. The operational trace gas products generated at DLR on behave ESA are: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4), together with clouds and aerosol properties. This product is created in the scope of the project INPULS. It develops (a) innovative retrieval algorithms and processors for the generation of value-added products from the atmospheric Copernicus missions Sentinel-5 Precursor, Sentinel-4, and Sentinel-5, (b) cloud-based (re)processing systems, (c) improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users, and (d) data visualization services.
This data set was recorded by permanently installed above-water radiometry onboard RV HEINCKE. Five TriOS instruments are installed at the top of the foremast: one irradiance sensor (ACC) to measure the incoming solar irradiance as a reference, 2 radiometers (ARC) to measure the incoming sky radiance, 2 radiometers (ARC) to measure the sea-surface leaving radiance. One set of radiometers is pointed to 45° starboard and the other to 45° port. The data were recorded with the MSDA-XE software in 15s interval and transferred via cloud. The data were then reformatted and processed with the community processor HyperCP. Ancillary data was taken from the mastertrack and Insightics DSHIP extraction. Data were processed for coastal conditions using sky/sunglint correction by Zhang et al. (2017), NIR residual correction using Ruddick et al. 2006, and BRDF correction based on IOP-based approach by Lee.
Aerosol optical depth (AOD) as derived from TROPOMI observations. AOD describes the attenuation of the transmitted radiant power by the absence of aerosols. Attenuation can be caused by absorption and/or scattering. AOD is the primary parameter to evaluate the impact of aerosols on weather and climate. Daily AOD observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid.

Das aktuelle Klima der Erde verändert sich schneller, als von den meisten wissenschaftlichen Prognosen vorhergesagt wurde. Dabei erwärmen sich die Polargebiete schnellsten von allen Regionen der Erde. Die Polargebiete haben auch starke globale Auswirkungen auf das Erdklima und beeinflussen daher das Leben und die Lebensgrundlagen auf der ganzen Welt. Trotz der großen Fortschritte der Polarforschung der letzten Jahre gibt es nach wie vor schlecht verstandene Prozesse; einer davon ist die Aerosol-Wolke-Klima-Wechselwirkung, die daher auch nicht zufriedenstellend modelliert werden können. Wolken und deren Wechselwirkungen im Klimasystem sind eine der schwierigsten Komponenten bei der Modellierung, insbesondere in den Polarregionen, da es dort besonders schwierig ist, qualitativ hochwertige Messungen zu erhalten. Die Verfügbarkeit hochwertiger Messungen ist daher von entscheidender Bedeutung, um die zugrunde liegenden Prozesse zu verstehen und in Modelle integrieren zu können. Im ersten Teil des hier vorgeschlagenen Projekts schlagen wir, d.h. TROPOS, vor, die bestehenden Aerosolmessungen an der Neumayer III-Station um in-situ Wolkenkondensationskern- (CCN) und Eiskeim- (INP) Messungen zu erweitern für einen Zeitraum von fast zwei Jahren. Die erfassten Daten wie Anzahl der Konzentrationen, Hygroskopizität, INP-Gefrierspektren usw. werden mit meteorologischen Informationen (z.B. Rückwärtstrajektorien) und Informationen über die chemische Zusammensetzung der vorherrschenden Aerosolpartikel verknüpft, um Quellen für INP und CCN über den gesamten Jahreszyklus zu identifizieren. In einem optionalen dritten Jahr wollen wir die Ergebnisse der südlichen Hemisphäre mit den TROPOS-Langzeitmessungen des CCN und INP aus der Arktis (Villum Research Station) vergleichen, welche uns im Rahmen dieses Projekts von DFG-finanzierten TR 172, AC3, Projekt B04 zur Verfügung stehen werden. Ein Ergebnis des beantragten Projekts wird ein tieferes Verständnis dafür sein, welche Prozesse die CCN- und INP-Population in hohen Breiten dominieren. Die im Rahmen des vorliegenden Projekts gesammelten quantitativen Informationen über CCN und INP in hohen Breiten werden öffentlich zugänglich veröffentlicht, z.B. für die Evaluierung globaler Modelle und Satellitenretrievals.
