Waterbase - Biology, 2024

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).

Water column, solid phase and porewater data in the Kiel Bight, SW Baltic Sea from 2016 to 2025

During the research cruises BE03/2016 (08.03.2016), BE10/2016 (19.10.2016), BE10/2018 (23.10.2018), BE03/2019 (15.03.2019), L23-13 (13.09.2023 - 15.09.2023), Sagitta24-1 (16.09.2024), Sagitta24-2 (23.09.2024), Hai24VE2 (24.09.2024), L25-2b (09.02.2025 - 17.02.2025) and EMB374 (04.09.2025 - 13.09.2025), CTDs were deployed and sediment corers were retrieved at 99 stations in Kiel Bight in the southwestern Baltic Sea. Water column oxygen concentrations were determined using oxygen sensors attached to the CTD framework. At selected water depths, water samples were collected with Niskin bottles for the analysis of nitrate concentrations using an autoanalyzer. Short sediment cores (<50cm) were recovered using a Multicorer (MUC), Minicorer (MIC) or Rumohrlot (RL). Bottom waters were sampled from the supernatant water in the sediment cores. Solid phase sediment samples were analyzed for total organic carbon using an element analyzer. Porewater was extracted from the sediment cores using rhizones and analyzed for total alkalinity (titration), ammonium (photometer), sulfate (ion chromatography), hydrogen sulfide (photometer), dissolved iron (ICP-OES) and dissolved manganese (ICP-OES). The collected data will be used to (i) determine the spatial and temporal variability of hydrogen sulfide in bottom waters of the Kiel Bight, (ii) identify the controlling factors governing the accumulation of hydrogen sulfide at the seafloor, and (iii) establish an early warning system of sulfidic seafloor conditions for regional stakeholders in the Baltic Sea.

Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Cloud-Top Height (CTH), Level 3 – Global

Global Cloud-Top Height (CTH) as derived from the Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI instrument. Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and have significant effects on trace gas retrievals. The cloud-top height is retrieved from the O2-A band using the ROCINN algorithm. Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. The TROPOMI instrument aboard the SENTINEL-5P space craft is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer covering wavelength bands between the ultraviolet and the shortwave infra-red. TROPOMI's purpose is to measure atmospheric properties and constituents. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) 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, allowing operational retrieval of the following trace gas constituents: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4). Within the INPULS project, innovative algorithms and processors for the generation of Level 3 and Level 4 products, improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users are developed.

Seismicity catalog collection, 2150 BC to 1996 AD

The Seismicity Catalog Collection is a compilation dataset on over four million earthquakes dating from 2150 BC to 1996 AD from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center and U.S. Geological Survey's National Earthquake Information Center. The data include information on epicentral time of origin, location, magnitudes, depth and other earthquake-related parameters. This database is static and is no longer being updated. The CD collection was a compilation of all of the earthquake catalogs, both US and non-US, in the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) archive available in 1996. The purpose was to provide users with access to all the seismicity data in one place. Data can be accessed through the GeoVu data access and visualization software included on the CDs. This software allows visualization of pre-computed histograms as well as reformatting of data files to a format specified by the user. Many of the more popular data bases are available in several different formats so the user will not have to reformat large data bases. Files can be formatted for use on IBM PCs, Macs, or UNIX machines. Format information, data dictionary and statistical information are also included. A bibliography of earthquake-related materials at NCEI and the Summary of Earthquake Data Base (KGRD-21) are included on the CD-ROM. NOAA and NCEI make no warranty, expressed or implied, regarding these data, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty. NOAA and NCEI cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in these data. If appropriate, NCEI can only certify that the data it distributes are an authentic copy of the records that were accepted for inclusion in the NCEI archives. This dataset has been archived in the framework of the PANGAEA US data rescue initiative 2025.

FP4-NNE-THERMIE C, Variable speed technology for low heat hydropower systems

Objective: Aim is to modify two small hydropower plants to variable speed operation in order to increase annual energy output by improved part load efficiency and design flow. A 100 kW vertical axis Francis turbine (Kaltenburg, DE) and a new 18 kW waterwheel (Bettborn, LU) will be modified to variable speed operation by use of a AC-AC converter. There will be installed a movable free-overfall weir at the waterwheel. By an expected increase of the electricity production in the range of 10 to 20 per cent , the aim is to proof viability of improving existing low head hydro sites with this technology. Especially low head sites have high variation of head and flow. Variable speed technology allows the system to operate at maximum efficiency for a wide range of hydraulic conditions. Modern power electronics replaces complex mechanical control systems with a high need for maintenance. In wind energy, variable speed technology has already proven its advantages compared to other mechanical technologies. General Information: Unlike earlier approaches with a combination of double regulated turbines and variable speed in a new installation, in this project the combination of a Francis turbine (respectively a water wheel) in existing plants together with a frequency converter will be used to increase part load efficiency and design flow of the system. Only the new IGBT controlled converters which are now used in wind energy as well as in motive power industry appliances can guarantee a reliable variable speed operation of a normal asynchronous generator. The combination of the movable weir and variable speed operation of the water wheel will allow to optimise the power output of the plant under all conditions. The use of an IGBT converter makes it possible to compensate reactive power to improve the mains performance. Due to detailed theoretical analysis and according to the positive experience with variable speed operation in wind energy and motive power technology, the expected increase of the annual power output of the two plants is in the range of 10 to 20 per cent of the actual value. This will reduce the specific cost of the electricity by the same range. For the actual payback tariffs of many European countries, this will increase the number of feasible low head sites. The top water level control by variation of turbine speed (and so flow) will be demonstrated to show a simple, reliable and energy saving alternative to the old hydraulic systems, which are still installed in many sites. The success of the variable speed system in this plants will open a big European SME market for cheap technological improvement of small hydropower plants and low head sites. The monitored performance of the plants data will be stored in a data logger with a modem, to allow automatic down-loading from a server-PC via modem. ...
