The 12th Sternfahrt of the ElbeXtreme and MOSES projects took place in 2024 from September 02 to 13, within the area of the German Bight (North Sea). Its objective was to get a more systematic grid of sampling data by spatially integrated onboard sensors. Therefore, the MOSES-laboratory container was installed again. Water samples were taken from the surface with a rosette or via Niskin bottles. The first part of the cruise was conducted by the research vessel (RV) Ludwig Prandtl, starting on the 2nd of September on Heligoland. From there, the crew navigated towards Cuxhaven covering some stations from previous MOSES cruises. For the next days, the ship followed a rectangular track, shifting northward each day, heading towards Heligoland again. Due to strong winds, the sampling stations were reduced to three on the last day. On Heligoland the RV Mya II took over the laboratory container and other sampling equipment for the second part of the cruise. Persistent strong winds delayed the start of the cruise until September 11. Since most of the planned stations were already covered from the RV Ludwig Prandtl, the crew decided to expand the sampling area using a more systematic zig-zag line. With the return of Mya II in the afternoon of the 13th September 2024, the campaign was successfully finished.
The dataset contains information on the European river basin districts, the river basin district sub-units, the surface water bodies and the groundwater bodies delineated for the 1st River Basin Management Plans (RBMP) under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) as well as the European monitoring sites used for the assessment of the status of the abovementioned surface water bodies and groundwater bodies. This data set is available only for internal use of the European Commission and the European Environment Agency. Please use the "PUBLIC VERSION": https://sdi.eea.europa.eu/catalogue/srv/eng/catalog.search#/metadata/6b55632c-63df-4542-97f0-363dfb6d3431 for external use. The information was reported to the European Commission under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) reporting obligations. The dataset compiles the available spatial data related to the 1st RBMPs which were due in 2010 (hereafter WFD2010). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/521 for further information on the WFD2010 reporting. It was prepared to support the reporting of the 2nd RBMPs due in 2016 (hereafter WFD2016). See http://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/715 for further information on the WFD2016 reporting. See also https://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/766 for information on the Environmental Quality Standards Directive - Preliminary programmes of measures and supplementary monitoring. The data reported in WFD2010 were updated using data reported in WFD2016, whenever the spatial objects are identical in 2010 and 2016. For WFD2010 objects, some information may be missing, if the objects no longer exist in the 2nd River Basin Management Plans, and were not reported in WFD2016. Where available, spatial data related to the 3rd RBMPs due in 2022 (hereafter WFD2022) was used to update the WFD2016 data. See https://rod.eionet.europa.eu/obligations/780 for further information on the WFD2022 reporting. Note: * This dataset has been reported by the member states. The subsequent QC revealed some problems caused by self-intersections elements. Data in GPKG-format should be processed using QGIS.
Waterbase serves as the EEA’s central database for managing and disseminating data regarding the status and quality of Europe's rivers, lakes, groundwater bodies, transitional, coastal, and marine waters. It also includes information on the quantity of Europe’s water resources and the emissions from point and diffuse sources of pollution into surface waters. Specifically, Waterbase - Biology focuses on biology data from rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters collected annually through the Water Information System for Europe (WISE) – State of Environment (SoE) reporting framework. The data are expected to be collected within monitoring programs defined under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) and used in the classification of the ecological status or potential of rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal water bodies. These datasets provide harmonised, quality-assured biological monitoring data reported by EEA member and cooperating countries, as Ecological Quality Ratios (EQRs) from all surface water categories (rivers, lakes, transitional and coastal waters).
We studied dissolved organic matter (DOM) dynamics in the sea surface microlayer (SML) during a mesocosm study at the Sea sURface Facility (SURF) of the Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment (ICBM) in Wilhelmshaven, Germany (53.5148 °N, 8.1463°E). The study was conducted from 18 May to 16 June 2023 as part of the multidisciplinary BASS research unit (Biogeochemical processes and Air-sea exchange in the Sea-Surface microlayer). SURF was filled with pretreated natural seawater from the nearby Jade Bay (53° 28' 42'' N, 8° 12' 15'' E) to replicate natural conditions. We selected this approach to examine the regrowth of surviving phytoplankton cells after the initial water treatments, simulating a native microbial community starting with almost no bioproduction or pre-existing bioproduction products. To induce and maintain the phytoplankton bloom, inorganic nitrogen, phosphorus, and silicate were added on May 26, May 31, and June 01, 2023. By that we induced an algal bloom of Emiliania huxleyi and Cylindrotheca closterium. By combining molecular analyses with nutrient and trace metal data, we highlight the in situ production of carbohydrate-like and laminarin-derived DOM as a significant contributor to the SML composition. This dataset contains DOM molecular data from ultrahigh-resolution mass spectrometry (Fourier-transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer, FT-ICR-MS), molecular indices calculated from the FT-ICR-MS data (Ibio, Iphoto, IDEG) and environmental data, including dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) data. Water samples were collected via glass plate for the SML and at 40 cm depth via tube. Furthermore, it contains attenuated total reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared (ATR-FTIR) data from representative samples for each bloom phase.

The 'GISCO NUTS 2021' data set represents the NUTS 2021 regulation and statistical regions by means of multipart polygon, polyline and point topology. The NUTS geographical information is completed by attribute tables and a set of cartographic help lines to better visualize multipart polygonal regions. The NUTS nomenclature is a hierarchical classification of statistical regions defined by Eurostat. The NUTS classification subdivides the EU economic territory into 3 statistical levels. The NUTS 2021 classification has been established through the Commission Delegated Regulation 2019/1755, which entered into force on 8th August 2019 and applies from 1st January 2021. A non official NUTS-like classification has been defined for the EFTA countries and the candidate countries. At present, six scale ranges (100K, 1M, 3M, 10M and 20M, 60M) are maintained in the GISCO geodatabase. The polygon and boundary classes delineate the regions, while the points provide an anchor for each region. Associated tables contain basic information such as the name of the region. The public data set will be available at 1M, 3M, 10M, 20M, 60M, while the full data set at 100K is restricted. The data set covers EU Member States, EFTA countries, EU candidate countries and the UK. Following the departure of the UK from the European Union, the UK is no longer flagged as an EU Member State but retains its place in the NUTS and statistical regions data set. This dataset (NUTS_2021) is derived from the EuroBoundary Map 2020 (EBM2020) from Eurogeographics as well as GISCO NUTS 2016 (from Türkiye). The list of NUTS2021 codes including changes with respect to NUTS2016 is available on https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/345175/629341/NUTS2021.xlsx. The public metadata for NUTS 2021 released by Eurostat is available here: https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/nuts-2021-metadata.xml. This revision (May 2021) includes minor changes in the dataset such as (see https://gisco-services.ec.europa.eu/distribution/v2/nuts/nuts-2021-release-notes.txt): * 2020-10-05 Point snapping is disabled in all datasets, number of decimals increased for 01M datasets. * 2020-11-18 Inclusion of Jan Mayen and Svalbard in to Norways Statistical Regions. Amendment to Serbia NUTS BN line status. * 2020-12-05 Fixed broken utf-8 encoding. * 2021-03-15 Added LAU 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2020 * 2021-04-26 Fixed country labels 2001, 2006 (incorrect Kosovo coordinates) IMPORTANT NOTE: Additional information, including the conditions of use and acknowledgement notice is included in the document provided with the dataset "GISCO NUTS 2021 Additional Information.pdf".

Gridded Level 3 ozone column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. In the stratosphere – where the majority of the total O3 amount is located - O3 plays an vital role for the UV protection. In the troposphere O3 is generated by chemical processes caused by natural and anthropogenic emission of NO2 and volatile organic components (VOCs) (e.g. HCHO). Direct exposure to O3 is harmfull for humans and our environment. The total O3 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the uv wavelength region 325-335nm [using the DOAS method]. To determine the AMF an iterative process is applied, the assumed profile depends on the latitude, month, but also on the total column. 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).
# Faszination Nächtlicher Vogelzug A web component for visualizing migratory bird detections on an interactive map. Built with React, MapLibre GL, and the BirdWeather GraphQL API. Designed for embedding into CMS platforms like Contao. ## Tech Stack - **React 19** + **TypeScript** (Vite) - **MapLibre GL** -- WebGL map rendering (Stadia Maps dark theme) - **Supercluster** -- per-species spatial clustering - **Apollo Client 4** -- GraphQL data fetching with caching - **GraphQL Code Generation** -- type-safe queries from BirdWeather schema - **SunCalc** -- astronomical day/night calculations - **Tailwind CSS 4** + **Ant Design 6** -- UI - **Vitest** -- testing ## Features - **Interactive map** with color-coded detection clusters per species - **Timeline animation** with autoplay, step controls, and throttled slider - **Night-only mode** that compresses inactive daytime hours using SunCalc sunrise/sunset calculations - **Day/night overlay** showing the terminator (day/night boundary) as a real-time GeoJSON polygon - **Species search** with autocomplete and availability checking per map viewport - **Supplementary layers** (light pollution, noise mapping via WMS) - **Web component** (`<zug-birdnet>`) for CMS embedding without routing ## Project Structure ``` src/ main.tsx Web component registration App.tsx Root component, species selection state api/ fragments.ts GraphQL fragments (DetectionItem, SpeciesItem) queries.ts GraphQL queries (detections, species, search) useDetections.ts Detection fetch hook with prefetching components/ DatesProvider.tsx Time state context (date range, animation, night mode) MapProvider.tsx MapLibre GL instance context SpeciesDropdown.tsx Species selection with search autocomplete Timeline.tsx Date picker, animation slider, playback controls LayersDropdown.tsx Toggle info layers (light pollution, noise) InfoPopup.tsx Map info marker popups map/ Map.tsx MapLibre GL initialization and rendering clusterUtils.ts Per-species Supercluster index creation colorUtils.ts MapLibre paint expression builder mapStyles.ts Map layer definitions usePersistentColors.ts Stable color assignment per species infopoints.ts Static info marker data lib/ apollo-client.ts Apollo Client with cache type policies buildAvailableSpeciesQuery.ts Dynamic aliased query generation getDayPolygon.ts Day/night terminator polygon calculation getTranslatedSpeciesName.ts i18n species name lookup isNotNull.ts, hasNonNullProp.ts Type guard utilities throttle.ts Throttle utility gql/ Auto-generated GraphQL types (do not edit) ``` ## Architecture Three React context providers compose the application: ``` ApolloProvider GraphQL caching and data fetching DatesProvider Date range, animation state, night-only time segments MapProvider MapLibre GL map instance App Species selection, filtered detections, color mapping ``` **Data flow:** Apollo fetches detections for the current bounding box and date range. Detections are filtered client-side by the visualisation time window (controlled by the timeline slider). Each species gets its own Supercluster index for independent color-coded clustering. Cluster features are rendered via MapLibre GL layers with dynamic `match` paint expressions. **GraphQL:** Queries and fragments are defined in `src/api/` and typed via `@graphql-codegen/client-preset`. Run `npm run codegen` after schema changes to regenerate `src/gql/`. ## Development ```sh npm install npm run dev ``` The dev server uses a self-signed SSL certificate via `@vitejs/plugin-basic-ssl`. Accept the browser warning on first visit. Other commands: ```sh npm run build # Production build npm run test # Run tests npm run lint # ESLint npm run codegen # Regenerate GraphQL types ``` ## Build & Integration Run `npm run build` to produce the `dist/` folder. The build outputs stable filenames (no hashes) and splits vendor dependencies into separate chunks for caching: ``` dist/ index.html assets/ index.css App styles (Tailwind + Ant Design) index.js Application code, React, Supercluster, dayjs, SunCalc maplibre.js MapLibre GL antd.js Ant Design + icons apollo.js Apollo Client + graphql ``` Only `index.js` changes on application updates. Vendor chunks are cache-stable between deploys. To embed the web component, include the built CSS and JS, then use the custom element: ```html <link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/index.css"> <script type="module" src="/assets/index.js"></script> <zug-birdnet></zug-birdnet> ``` No routing. The component is self-contained and can be placed anywhere on the page. Third-party CMS integration (e.g., Contao) only needs to include the built assets and the custom element tag. ## Configuration App-level settings are in `src/config.ts`: | Option | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `SHOW_DEMO_INFOPOINTS` | `false` | Show static info markers on the map (demo/development only) |
