Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Sulfur dioxide (SO2), Level 3 – Global

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 sulphur dioxide (SO2) concentration around the globe. Sulphur dioxide enters the atmosphere through volcanic eruptions and human-related activities. Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. This product is created in the scope of the project INPULS. The DLR INPULS project 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.

eSENS - e-School of Environmental Sensing

Satellite and airborne remote sensing of the Earth's environment is a comparatively young science which is characterized by technological innovations in short temporal intervals. For successful, sustainable, and timely utilization of new and upcoming remote sensing data, methodological knowhow and new skills (e.g. handling imaging spectrometer and full polarimetric SAR data) are required by individuals. Training people in these competences is essential to ensure high quality in the field. Therefore, attention has to be turned to teaching and learning remote sensing in higher education (and even earlier) as an ongoing and scholarly process to address the academic and industrial market requirements. Aside from its fast development, a further didactic challenge is the interdisciplinary character of remote sensing, including, for example, competences from electrical engineering, earth sciences, physics, or biology. Interdisciplinary -E-learning concepts will be developed in cooperation with international scientific partners.

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1294: Bereich Infrastruktur - Atmospheric and Earth system research with the 'High Altitude and Long Range Research Aircraft' (HALO), Bestimmung der zwei- und drei- dimensionalen Verteilung von Spurengasen mit dem Heidelberger Abbildendes Flugzeug-DOAS Instrument (HAIDI) auf HALO, in der Phase II Mission EMerGe

Ziel des Projektes ist die Untersuchung der chemischen Zusammensetzung von Abgasfahnen großer urbaner Flächenquellen (Millionenstädte) in Europa und Asien mittels eines neuartigen 2D bzw. 3D DOAS-Fernerkundungsinstruments. Die Arbeiten sind Teil der für das deutsche Forschungsflugzeug HALO geplanten EMerGe Mission, eine zusätzliche Beteiligung an der CAFE Mission wird gegenwärtig noch untersucht. Flugzeuggebundene Beobachtungen des HAIDI-Instruments ermöglichen die Messungen von Schlüsselparametern der von Flächenquellen ausgehenden Fahnen, wie z.B. der Spurengase NO2, HCHO, SO2, CHOCHO, BrO, IO, OClO, H2O, O4 und O3 sowie von optischen Eigenschaften des Aerosols. Die räumliche Auflösung der resultierenden 2D-Karten der Spurenstoffverteilungen ist besser als 100m, die Breite des Abtaststreifens etwa 10 km, so dass in kurzer Zeit eine große Fläche erfasst wird. Tomographischen Methoden ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion von 3D-Bildern, die auch die Vertikalverteilung von Spurengasen beinhalten. Somit quantifiziert HAIDI die wichtigsten Spezies zur Analyse der chemischen Zusammensetzung und Umwandlung in der Abluft von Flächenquellen. Unsere Studien zielen auf die Untersuchung topographischer und meteorologischer Einflüsse auf Ausdehnung, Verteilung und Ausbreitung derartiger Abgasfahnen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Emission, Umwandlung und Abbau der Schlüsselkomponente NO2. Die chemische Evolution von Spurengasen und des Aerosols, die sich auch unseren Daten zusammen mit weiteren auf HALO gemessenen Verbindungen ergibt, ermöglicht dann die Beantwortung von Fragen bezüglich der lokalen, regionalen und globalen Auswirkungen von großflächigen Emissionen. Insbesondere dienen die Bestimmungen der optischen Parameter des Aerosols, wie sie von HAIDI vorgenommen wird, auch der Quantifizierung des Einflusses solcher Fahnen auf den Strahlungshaushalt. Die genannten Ergebnisse dienen des Weiteren zur Validierung und Verbesserung von Modellen im Rahmen des EMerGe Projekts sowie zur Validierung von Satellitendaten. Damit wird erstmals ein System operationell, das mit einer Kombination von drei abbildenden Spektrometern 3D-Informationen über Spurengasverteilungen und Aerosol liefern kann. Im Rahmen des Projektes werden - basierend auf unseren Vorarbeiten - die notwendigen tomographischen Algorithmen entwickelt. Da dies der erstmalige Betrieb von HAIDI auf HALO ist muss das Instrument im Rahmen des Projektes auch zugelassen und ggf. adaptiert werden.

Standardisiertes Monitoring von Wachstumsreaktionen wichtiger Waldbaumarten auf klimatische Extremereignisse, Teilvorhaben 3: Upscaling und Prognosen

Im Teilvorhaben 3 wird im Modul 5 (Flächendeckendes satellitengestütztes Monitoring der Wachstumsreaktion) ein satellitenbasiertes räumliches Monitoring der Wachstumsreaktion der Bäume für die Testgebiete entwickelt. Als Wachstumsreaktion wird die Veränderung des Saftflusses sowie des Dickenwachstums als Reaktion auf extreme Hitze- und Trockenperioden definiert. Beide Variablen werden mittels DHC-Stationen in situ gemessen und durch die Kombination mit Satellitendaten in die Fläche überführt. Als Prädiktoren werden neuartige Daten der spektral hochaufgelösten ECOSTRESS (IR hyperspektral), OCO-3 und DESIS (Hyperspektralsensor) herangezogen, die alle auf der ISS installiert und damit optimal für eine solche Datenkombination geeignet sind. Die Daten der punktuellen DHC-Stationen werden verwendet, um maschinelle Lernmodelle auf der Basis der spektral hochaufgelösten neuen Fernerkundungsdaten unter normalen und extremen Klimabedingungen zu trainieren. Die Modelle können auf das Prädiktorgitter angewendet werden, sodass die Zielvariablen räumlich modelliert werden können. Aufgrund der schlechten zeitlichen Auflösung werden diese Daten wiederum als Prädiktoren verwendet, um die Zielvariablen auf konventionelle, zeitlich höher aufgelöste (Sentinel, MODIS) und Kronen auflösende Systeme (Planet) zu transferieren. Damit ist ein räumliches Monitoring unter verschiedenen Klimabedingungen möglich. ECOSTRESS liefert gegitterte Prädiktorvariablen zur Verdunstung, zum Evaporative Stress Index sowie zur Water Use Efficiency in 30 bis 70 m Auflösung, die mit DHC-Messungen des Saftflusses kombiniert werden. OCO-3 liefert Informationen zur fotosynthetischen Aktivität (SIF: solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence) in etwa 2 km Auflösung, die mit den DHC-Messungen zum Dickenwachstum kombiniert werden. DESIS liefert hyperspektrale Daten in 30 m Auflösung und wird v.a. für die Erhöhung der räumlichen Auflösung der OCO-3 Daten verwendet.
