METOP GOME-2 - Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) - Global

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. Currently, there are three GOME-2 instruments operating on board EUMETSAT's Meteorological Operational satellites MetOp-A, -B, and -C, launched in October 2006, September 2012, and November 2018, respectively. GOME-2 can measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distributions. 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 level 2 products in the framework of EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring (AC-SAF). GOME-2 near-real-time products are available already two hours after sensing. The operational NO2 total column products are generated using the algorithm GDP (GOME Data Processor) version 4.x integrated into the UPAS (Universal Processor for UV / VIS Atmospheric Spectrometers) processor for generating level 2 trace gas and cloud products. The total NO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the visible wavelength region (425-450 nm), using the Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (DOAS) method.

Atmosphaerische Chemie

Das Projekt "Atmosphaerische Chemie" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Bundesministerium für Forschung und Technologie / Kernforschungsanlage Jülich GmbH. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Kernforschungsanlage Jülich GmbH, Institut für Chemie.Untersuchungen ueber die Verteilung von Spurenstoffen in der Atmosphaere werden im Institut fuer Chemie (ICH3) durchgefuehrt. Es erfolgt die Aufklaerung der Produktions- und Abbauprozesse und Modellrechnung zur Voraussage von Auswirkungen anthropogener Stoerungen. Folgende Themen werden schwerpunktmaessig bearbeitet: a) Entwicklung von Messverfahren fuer Radikale und Messungen in der Troposphaere und Stratosphaere mit folgenden Methoden: Laserresonanzfluoreszenz (fuer OH), vergleichende Absorptionsspektroskopie auf langen optischen Wegen (fuer OH), Matrix-Isolation und Elektronenspinresonanzspektroskopie (fuer HO2, NO2, RO2). b) Messung von langlebigen Spurengasen in der Atmosphaere mit gaschromatischen Methoden (z.B. CO, CH4, H2, N2O, CFCl3, CF2Cl2, CO2). c) Erarbeitung von chemischen und physikalisch-optischen Methoden zur Messung von kurzlebigen Spurengasen wie SO2, HNO3, NH4, CH2O, NO2 und Bestimmung ihrer Depositionsrate auf natuerliche bewachsene Boeden. d) Untersuchungen zum Isotopengehalt verschiedener Spurengase zur Aufklaerung ihres atmosphaerischen Kreislaufs (z.B. D in H2 und CH4, 13C in CO, CH4). Besondere Bedeutung hat die Messung von 14C im atmosphaerischen CO, weil sie Daten zur mitteleren globalen OH-Radikalkonzentration liefert. e) Entwicklung eines ein- und zweidimensionalen Modells zur Interpretation der Radikalmessungen, zur Untersuchung von Abbauprozessen in der Troposphaere und zur Voraussage der anthropogenen Stoerung der Ozonschicht.

Forschergruppe (FOR) 1095: Stratospheric Change and its Role for Climate Prediction (SHARP), Forschergruppe (FOR) 1095: Stratospheric Change and its Role for Climate Prediction (SHARP)

Das Projekt "Forschergruppe (FOR) 1095: Stratospheric Change and its Role for Climate Prediction (SHARP), Forschergruppe (FOR) 1095: Stratospheric Change and its Role for Climate Prediction (SHARP)" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universität Berlin, Institut für Meteorologie WE03, Fachrichtung Dynamik der Atmosphäre, Arbeitsgruppe Atmosphärendynamik.Future global climate change resulting from anthropogenic activity is now inevitable. The consequences for the stratosphere are poorly understood. A better understanding of the interactions between atmospheric chemistry and climate change is urgently required. This is a prerequisite for impact assessment and the definition of mitigation strategies. The DFG Research Unit Stratospheric Change and its Role for Climate Prediction (SHARP) addresses this issue and aims to improve our understanding and ability to predict global climate change and its interplay with the stratosphere. SHARP follows the recommendations for research, formulated by the Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate (SPARC) Programme of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP). SHARP will focus on the quantitative detection, attribution and prediction of changes in stratospheric dynamics and composition linked to climate change and their implications for the troposphere. The evolution of the stratosphere over the next decades in response to climate change is of crucial significance for the atmosphere as a whole. A unique window of opportunity exists to exploit the investment in the development of remote sensing and atmospheric modelling for scientific objectives of societal relevance, which provide the evidence base needed by international policymakers. To address these issues SHARP brings together excellent national expertise in state-of-the-art climate models and observations, in particular those derived from satellite instruments. SHARP will provide an important contribution by German scientists to the upcoming international WMO/UNEP and IPCC assessments.

GOME-2 near-real-time products are available already two hours after sensing. OCRA (Optical Cloud Recognition Algorithm) and ROCINN (Retrieval of Cloud Information using Neural Networks) are used for retrieving the following geophysical cloud properties from GOME and GOME-2 data: cloud fraction (cloud cover), cloud-top pressure (cloud-top height), and cloud optical thickness (cloud-top albedo). OCRA is an optical sensor cloud detection algorithm that uses the PMD devices on GOME / GOME-2 to deliver cloud fractions for GOME / GOME-2 scenes. ROCINN takes the OCRA cloud fraction as input and uses a neural network training scheme to invert GOME / GOME-2 reflectivities in and around the O2-A band. VLIDORT [Spurr (2006)] templates of reflectances based on full polarization scattering of light are used to train the neural network. ROCINN retrieves cloud-top pressure and cloud-top albedo. The cloud-top pressure for GOME scenes is derived from the cloud-top height provided by ROCINN and an appropriate pressure profile.
