Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1158: Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice Areas; Bereich Infrastruktur - Antarktisforschung mit vergleichenden Untersuchungen in arktischen Eisgebieten, COALA – Kontinuierliche Beobachtungen von Aerosol-Wolken-Interaktion in der Antarktis

Das unvollständige Verständnis der Wechselwirkung von Aerosolpartikeln mit Strahlung, Wolken und Niederschlag ist eine Schlüsselfrage der Atmosphärenforschung. Detaillierte Beobachtungen sind erforderlich, um die komplexen Zusammenhänge zwischen den beteiligten Prozessen zu erfassen. Dies gilt insbesondere für die abgelegene Region der Antarktis, wo bodengestützte, vertikal aufgelöste Langzeitbeobachtungen von Aerosol, Wolken und Niederschlag selten sind und Satellitenbeobachtungen technischen Beschränkungen unterliegen. Um die Messlücke mit modernsten Beobachtungen zu schließen, wird TROPOS die Messplattform OCEANET-Atmosphere zwischen den Südsommern 2022/23 und 2023/24 an der Station Neumayer III (70,67°S, 8,27°W) einsetzen. OCEANET-Atmosphere ist ein autonomer, polar-erprobter, modifizierter 20-Fuss-Messcontainer, der erst kürzlich erfolgreich während MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) eingesetzt wurde. Die Instrumentierung während COALA umfasst ein Mehrwellenlängen-Polarisations- und ein Doppler-Lidar, ein 35-GHz-Wolkenradar, ein Mikrowellenradiometer sowie jeweils ein 1-d und 2-d-Niederschlags-Disdrometer. OCEANET ist die einzige polare Einzelcontainer-Plattform, die mit Mehrwellenlängen-Lidar, Radar und Mikrowellenradiometer Wolken und Niederschlag sowie mit Doppler-Lidar und -Radar turbulente Luftbewegungen in Wolken an verschiedenen Messstandorten beobachten kann.Die zeitliche und vertikale Auflösung des gewonnenen Datensatzes wird in der Größenordnung von 30 s (2 s für Vertikalgeschwindigkeitsbeobachtungen) und 30 m liegen. COALA ist ein 3-Jahres-Projekt. Ein Postdoktorand wird für den Einsatz von OCEANET-Atmosphere bei Neumayer III und die Datenanalyse verantwortlich sein und dabei von Experten am TROPOS unterstützt. Die Beobachtungen werden in erster Linie dazu dienen, die Schlüsselhypothese von COALA zu untersuchen, dass Aerosol aus dem Südlichen Ozean, den mittleren Breiten und den Subtropen der südlichen Hemisphäre in die Antarktis transportiert wird, wo es die Bildung und Entwicklung von Wolken und Niederschlag beeinflusst. Die Arbeiten konzentrieren sich auf (1) die Untersuchung des Ursprungs, der Häufigkeit und der Eigenschaften des Aerosols über der Station Neumayer III, (2) die Untersuchung des Einflusses von Oberflächen- und Grenzschicht-Kopplungseffekten auf die Eigenschaften und die Entwicklung von tiefen Wolken, (3) die Untersuchung des Beitrags von Dynamik (orographische Wellen), Aerosol und Meteorologie zur Verteilung der Eis- und Flüssigphase in Wolken über Neumayer III, (4) zur Untersuchung der vertikalen Struktur von Wolken und ihrer Beziehung zur Niederschlagsbildung und (5) zur Bewertung regionaler Kontraste in den Eigenschaften von Aerosolen und Wolken und den damit verbundenen Aerosol-Wolken-Wechselwirkungsprozessen, indem die Neumayer-III-Beobachtungen von vorhandenen Datensätzen aus Südchile, Zypern, Deutschland und der Arktis kontrastiert werden.

Modelling Patagonian Lenga-forest dynamics (Nothofagus pumilio) in Chile

The dynamics of Patagonian Lenga-forests (Nothofagus pumilio) will be studied at two long-term investigation sites of the University of Chile of Santiago. Field data will be acquired in two field campaigns and involve structural surveys, increment coring and stem analyses. The aim of the proposed project is to model Lenga forest dynamics with an individual tree-based modelling approach. Building upon experience with the SILVA model, the major challenge lies in the old growth and regeneration phase, and the gap heterogeneity which can only be represented on the landscape scale. The approach is unique in a sense that it applies principles from individual-tree modelling to the classical field of gap models. It profits from the strong competition algorithms and structural sensitivity of individual tree models and overcomes the limitation of regular grids in gap models. The project will unite 30 years field experience and data collection at the U.Chile and the modelling background at the TUM. Besides the progress in the understanding of forest growth processes, the growth model will support the sustainable silvicultural management of the resource Lenga.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1488: Planetary Magnetism (PlanetMag), Evolution of geomagnetic dipole moment and South Atlantic Anomaly

The geomagnetic field shields our habitat against solar wind and radiation from space. Due to the geometry of the field, the shielding in general is weakest at high latitudes. It is also anomalously weak in a region around the south Atlantic known as South Atlantic Anomaly (SAA), and the global dipole moment has been decreasing by nearly 10 percent since direct measurements of field intensity became possible in 1832. Due to our limited understanding of the geodynamo processes in Earths core, it is impossible to reliably predict the future evolution of both dipole moment and SAA over the coming decades. However, lack of magnetic field shielding as would be a consequence of further weakening of dipole moment and SAA region field intensity would cause increasing problems for modern technology, in particular satellites, which are vulnerable to radiation damage. A better understanding of the underlying processes is required to estimate the future development of magnetic field characteristics. The study of the past evolution of such characteristics based on historical, archeo- and paleomagnetic data, on time-scales of centuries to millennia, is essential to detect any recurrences and periodicities and provide new insights in dynamo processes in comparison to or in combination with numerical dynamo simulations. We propose to develop two new global spherical harmonic geomagnetic field models, spanning 1 and 10 kyrs, respectively, and designed in particular to study how long the uninterrupted decay of the dipole moment has been going on prior to 1832, and if the SAA is a recurring structure of the field.We will combine for the first time all available historical and archeomagnetic data, both directions and intensities, in a spherical harmonic model spanning the past 1000 years. Existing modelling methods will be adapted accordingly, and existing data bases will be complemented with newly published data. We will further acquire some new archeomagnetic data from the Cape Verde islands from historical times to better constrain the early evolution of the present-day SAA. In order to study the long-term field evolution and possible recurrences of similar weak field structures in this region, we will produce new paleomagnetic records from available marine sediment cores off the coasts of West Africa, Brazil and Chile. This region is weakly constrained in previous millennial scale models. Apart from our main aim to gain better insights into the previous evolution of dipole moment and SAA, the models will be used to study relations between dipole and non-dipole field contributions, hemispheric symmetries and large-scale flux patterns at the core-mantle boundary. These observational findings will provide new insights into geodynamo processes when compared with numerical dynamo simulation results.Moreover, the models can be used to estimate past geomagnetic shielding above Earths surface against solar wind and for nuclide production from galactic cosmic rays.
