This product displays the Cloud Optical Thickness (COT) around the globe. Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and have significant effects on trace gas retrievals. The cloud optical thickness is retrieved from the O2-A band using the ROCINN algorithm. 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.
The TROPOMI instrument onboard the Copernicus SENTINEL-5 Precursor satellite is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer that provides global measurements of atmospheric properties and constituents on a daily basis. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and climate, providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the top of atmosphere 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. The operational trace gas products generated at DLR on behave ESA are: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4), together with clouds and aerosol properties. This product displays the Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) near surface concentration for Germany and neighboring countries as derived from the POLYPHEMUS/DLR air quality model. Surface NO2 is mainly generated by anthropogenic sources, e.g. transport and industry. POLYPHEMUS/DLR is a state-of-the-art air quality model taking into consideration - meteorological conditions, - photochemistry, - anthropogenic and natural (biogenic) emissions, - TROPOMI NO2 observations for data assimilation. This Level 4 air quality product (surface NO2 at 15:00 UTC) is based on innovative algorithms, processors, data assimilation schemes and operational processing and dissemination chain developed in the framework of the INPULS project. The DLR project INPULS develops (a) innovative retrieval algorithms and processors for the generation of value-added products from the atmospheric Copernicus missions Sentinel-5 Precursor, Sentinel-4, and Sentinel-5, (b) cloud-based (re)processing systems, (c) improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users, and (d) data visualization services.
Aerosol optical depth (AOD) as derived from TROPOMI observations. AOD describes the attenuation of the transmitted radiant power by the absence of aerosols. Attenuation can be caused by absorption and/or scattering. AOD is the primary parameter to evaluate the impact of aerosols on weather and climate. Daily AOD observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid.

Im Rahmen dieses Projekts soll das Wolkenpartikelinstrument PHIPS-HALO des KIT um die Messung der winkelabhängigen Polarisation von einzelnen Eispartikeln im rückwärtigen Streuwinkelbereich erweitert werden. Diese Messung ergänzt die bestehenden PHIPS-HALO-Messmethoden zur Erfassung der Partikelform sowie der winkelabhängigen Streufunktion. Die neuen Messmöglichkeiten des PHIPS-HALO/SID-3 Instrumentpakets des KIT werden in der Wolkensimulationskammer AIDA umfangreich getestet und charakterisiert, um diese am Ende der ersten Förderperiode für Messungen auf HALO zur Verfügung zu haben. Dadurch werden schon im Vorfeld der nächsten, für den Winter 2018/2019 geplanten Zirrusmission neuartige relevante Datensätze gewonnen, die von großem Nutzen für die Atmosphärenwissenschaft sein werden. Zusätzlich zu den Labormessungen, soll das verbesserte PHIPS-HALO Instrument sowie das PHIPS-HALO/SID-3 Instrumentpaket im Rahmen des Projekts auch auf anderen Messflugzeugen betrieben und getestet werden. Mit den erweiterten Messmöglichkeiten des PHIPS-HALO/SID-3 Instrumentpakets können in zukünftigen HALO-Missionen Validierungen von Satellitenbeobachtungen durchgeführt werden, die sich auf Polarisationsmessmethoden stützen. Da diese Messmethoden sehr empfindlich auf die Komplexität der Form sowie der Oberflächenrauheit der Eispartikel sind, könnte auf Basis solcher Validierungsmissionen die Frage geklärt werden, ob die Eispartikelkomplexität eine dominante mikrophysikalische Eigenschaft von Zirren ist. Sollte dies der Fall sein, würden Wolkeneispartikel einen deutlich anderen Strahlungseinfluss auf den Wärmehaushalt der Erde haben als bisher angenommen.
Auf der Grundlage einer automatisierten Methode der Firma EFTAS Fernerkundung Technologietransfer GmbH wurde für das gesamte Stadtgebiet eine Gründachkartierung vorgenommen. So kann das bereits genutzte Flächenpotenzial auf den Dresdner Dachflächen quantitativ erfasst und eine zukünftige Weiterentwicklung von begrünten Dächern analysiert werden. Die Punktdarstellungen zeigen die Dachflächen, auf denen eine Begrünung erfasst wurde. Dargestellt sind ausschließlich Gründächer mit einer Dachfläche ab einer Größe von zehn Quadratmetern. Konkrete Informationen zur exakten Bedeckung sowie zur genauen Größe der begrünten Dachfläche werden in der Karte nicht dargestellt. Die zunehmende Neuversiegelung und der damit einhergehende Rückgang von Grün- und Freiflächen stellt für die Stadt in Zeiten des Klimawandels eine enorme Herausforderung dar. Dachbegrünungen können aufgrund ihrer zahlreichen ökologischen Leistungen eine Lösung sein. Sie haben einen positiven Einfluss auf das Stadtklima, den Wasserhaushalt sowie die Luft- und Lärmbelastung. Außerdem sind sie ohne zusätzlichen städtischen Bodenverbrauch realisierbar. Damit gewinnen Dachbegrünungen in einer nachhaltigen zukunftsorientierten Stadtplanung zunehmend an Bedeutung.
BExIS is the online data repository and information system of the Biodiversity Exploratories Project (BE). The BE is a German network of biodiversity-related working groups from areas such as vegetation and soil science, zoology and forestry. Up to three years after data acquisition, the data use is restricted to members of the BE. Thereafter, the data is usually publicly available (https://www.bexis.uni-jena.de/ddm/publicsearch/index).
Raw data acquired by GPS1 position sensors on board research aircraft Polar 5 during the campaign P5-256_COMPEX-EC_2025 were processed to receive a validated master track which can be used as reference of further expedition data. Novatel FlexPak6 GPS receiver was used as navigation sensors during the campaign. Data were downloaded from AWI Datamanagement System (https://dms.awi.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. Processed data are provided as a master track with 1 sec resolution and a generalized track with a reduced set of the most significant positions of the master track. A detailed report on processing is also available for each flight.
