Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Ozone (O3), Level 3 – Global

Ozone vertical column density in Dobson Units as derived from Sentinel-5P/TROPOMI observations. The stratospheric ozone layer protects the biosphere from harmful solar ultraviolet radiation. Ozone in troposphere can pose risks to the health of humans, animals, and vegetation. 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). Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. 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.

Tree Species - Sentinel-1/2 - Germany, 2022

The Tree Species Germany product provides a map of dominant tree species across Germany for the year 2022 at a spatial resolution of 10 meters. The map depicts the distribution of ten tree species groups derived from multi-temporal optical Sentinel-2 data, radar data from Sentinel-1, and a digital elevation model. The input features explicitly incorporate phenological information to capture seasonal vegetation dynamics relevant for species discrimination. A total of over 80,000 training and test samples were compiled from publicly accessible sources, including urban tree inventories, Google Earth Pro, Google Street View, and field observations. The final classification was generated using an XGBoost machine learning algorithm. The Tree Species Germany product achieves an overall F1-score of 0.89. For the dominant species pine, spruce, beech, and oak, class-wise F1-scores range from 0.76 to 0.98, while F1-scores for other widespread species such as birch, alder, larch, Douglas fir, and fir range from 0.88 to 0.96. The product provides a consistent, high-resolution, and up-to-date representation of tree species distribution across Germany. Its transferable, cost-efficient, and repeatable methodology enables reliable large-scale forest monitoring and offers a valuable basis for assessing spatial patterns and temporal changes in forest composition in the context of ongoing climatic and environmental dynamics.

Klassifizierung von HULIS Kohlenstoff verschiedener atmosphärischer Prägung mittels 2-D offline Chromatographie

Atmosphärische Partikel enthalten innerhalb ihrer organischen Fraktion einen bedeutenden Anteil sogenannter 'huminähnlicher' Verbindungen (humic like substances, HULIS). Zur chemischen Zusammensetzung dieser Fraktion ist nur relativ wenig bekannt. Trenntechniken wie Umkehrphasenchromatographie oder Kapillarelektrophorese erlauben keine umfassende Trennung dieser komplex zusammengesetzten Fraktion, weshalb im vorliegenden Projekt die Anwendung einer 2-dimensionalen Trennung nach Polarität (Umkehrphasenchromatographie) und molekularer Größe (Größenausschlusschromatographie) vorgeschlagen wird. Die Kopplung der beiden Dimensionen soll offline geschehen und die erhaltenen Fraktionen gesammelt werden, um davon den Gesamtkohlenstoffgehalt (total organic carbon, TOC), die UV-VIS Absorption, sowie die Elementarzusammensetzung einzelner charakteristischer Substanzen mittels Flugzeitmassenspektrometrie zu bestimmen. Proben von verschieden geprägten Sammelorten (europäischer Hintergrund, asiatische Megacity, ländlich mit starkem Biomasseverbrennungseinfluss) sollen analysiert werden, um anschliessend Muster im zweidimensionalen Raum Polarität vs. Größe finden und vergleichen zu können. Weiterhin sollen die Ergebnisse der offline Charakterisierung mit (außerhalb des Projektes) gewonnenen Daten eines online-Aerosolmassenspektrometers verglichen werden. Die Ergebnisse sollen ein besseres Verständnis zu Konzentration, Zusammensetzung und möglichen Quellen der wichtigen HULIS-Fraktion atmosphärischer Partikel ermöglichen.

Field based and laboratory data of sediment cores from the Lower Havel Inner Delta near Lake Gülpe, Brandenburg (Germany)

Sediment cores were recovered using a hand-held Cobra Pro (Atlas Copco) core drilling system with a 60 mm diameter open corer. One-meter segments were retrieved and assessed in the field for sedimentological features, including estimations of grain size, carbonate content, humus content, and redox features (AG Boden 2005, 2024). Colour descriptions were carried out using the Munsell Soil Color Chart. The exact positions of the drilling points were recorded using a differential GPS device (TOPCON HiPer II). The cores were photographed, documented and sampled at 5–10 cm intervals for subsequent laboratory analyses. Bulk samples from five selected cores (RK1, RK3, RK13, RK15, RK17) were freeze-dried, sieved (2 mm), and weighed. Total carbon (TC), total nitrogen (TN), and total sulfur (TS) contents were measured using a CNS analyzer (Vario EL cube, Elementar). Inorganic carbon (TIC) was determined using calcimeter measurements (Scheibler method, Eijkelkamp). Organic carbon (TOC) was calculated as TOC = TC − TIC. For the grain size analyses, sediment samples were first sieved to <2 mm and subsamples of 10 g were treated with 50 ml of 35% hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) and gently heated to remove organic matter. Following this, 10 ml of 0.4 N sodium pyrophosphate solution (Na₄P₂O₇) was added to disperse the particles, and the suspension was subjected to ultrasonic treatment for 45 minutes. The sand fraction was analysed by dry sieving and classified into four size classes: coarse sand (2000–630 µm), medium sand (630–200 µm), fine sand (200–125 µm), and very fine sand (125–63 µm). Finer fractions were determined using X-ray granulometry (XRG) with a SediGraph III 5120 (Micromeritics). These included coarse silt (63–20 µm), medium silt (20–6.3 µm), fine silt (6.3–2.0 µm), coarse clay (2.0–0.6 µm), medium clay (0.6–0.2 µm), and fine clay (<0.2 µm).
