Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1158: Antarctic Research with Comparable Investigations in Arctic Sea Ice Areas; Bereich Infrastruktur - Antarktisforschung mit vergleichenden Untersuchungen in arktischen Eisgebieten, COALA – Kontinuierliche Beobachtungen von Aerosol-Wolken-Interaktion in der Antarktis

Das unvollständige Verständnis der Wechselwirkung von Aerosolpartikeln mit Strahlung, Wolken und Niederschlag ist eine Schlüsselfrage der Atmosphärenforschung. Detaillierte Beobachtungen sind erforderlich, um die komplexen Zusammenhänge zwischen den beteiligten Prozessen zu erfassen. Dies gilt insbesondere für die abgelegene Region der Antarktis, wo bodengestützte, vertikal aufgelöste Langzeitbeobachtungen von Aerosol, Wolken und Niederschlag selten sind und Satellitenbeobachtungen technischen Beschränkungen unterliegen. Um die Messlücke mit modernsten Beobachtungen zu schließen, wird TROPOS die Messplattform OCEANET-Atmosphere zwischen den Südsommern 2022/23 und 2023/24 an der Station Neumayer III (70,67°S, 8,27°W) einsetzen. OCEANET-Atmosphere ist ein autonomer, polar-erprobter, modifizierter 20-Fuss-Messcontainer, der erst kürzlich erfolgreich während MOSAiC (Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate) eingesetzt wurde. Die Instrumentierung während COALA umfasst ein Mehrwellenlängen-Polarisations- und ein Doppler-Lidar, ein 35-GHz-Wolkenradar, ein Mikrowellenradiometer sowie jeweils ein 1-d und 2-d-Niederschlags-Disdrometer. OCEANET ist die einzige polare Einzelcontainer-Plattform, die mit Mehrwellenlängen-Lidar, Radar und Mikrowellenradiometer Wolken und Niederschlag sowie mit Doppler-Lidar und -Radar turbulente Luftbewegungen in Wolken an verschiedenen Messstandorten beobachten kann.Die zeitliche und vertikale Auflösung des gewonnenen Datensatzes wird in der Größenordnung von 30 s (2 s für Vertikalgeschwindigkeitsbeobachtungen) und 30 m liegen. COALA ist ein 3-Jahres-Projekt. Ein Postdoktorand wird für den Einsatz von OCEANET-Atmosphere bei Neumayer III und die Datenanalyse verantwortlich sein und dabei von Experten am TROPOS unterstützt. Die Beobachtungen werden in erster Linie dazu dienen, die Schlüsselhypothese von COALA zu untersuchen, dass Aerosol aus dem Südlichen Ozean, den mittleren Breiten und den Subtropen der südlichen Hemisphäre in die Antarktis transportiert wird, wo es die Bildung und Entwicklung von Wolken und Niederschlag beeinflusst. Die Arbeiten konzentrieren sich auf (1) die Untersuchung des Ursprungs, der Häufigkeit und der Eigenschaften des Aerosols über der Station Neumayer III, (2) die Untersuchung des Einflusses von Oberflächen- und Grenzschicht-Kopplungseffekten auf die Eigenschaften und die Entwicklung von tiefen Wolken, (3) die Untersuchung des Beitrags von Dynamik (orographische Wellen), Aerosol und Meteorologie zur Verteilung der Eis- und Flüssigphase in Wolken über Neumayer III, (4) zur Untersuchung der vertikalen Struktur von Wolken und ihrer Beziehung zur Niederschlagsbildung und (5) zur Bewertung regionaler Kontraste in den Eigenschaften von Aerosolen und Wolken und den damit verbundenen Aerosol-Wolken-Wechselwirkungsprozessen, indem die Neumayer-III-Beobachtungen von vorhandenen Datensätzen aus Südchile, Zypern, Deutschland und der Arktis kontrastiert werden.

Continuous recordings of environmental parameters at station 16, Gabelsflach (2023-09 - 2024-10)

Additionally, at four shallow water stations (Booknis Eck, Buelk, Behrensdorf and Katharinenhof) temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen are continuously logged at 2-3 m depth by self-contained data loggers. These are: (I) MiniDOT loggers (Precision Measurement Engineering; http://pme.com; ±10 µmol L-1 or ±5 % saturation) including copper antifouling option (copper plate and mesh) to measure dissolved oxygen concentration and (II) DST CT salinity & temperature loggers (Star-Oddi; http://star-oddi.com; ±1.5 mS cm-1) to record the conductivity. Both sensor types additionally record water temperature with an accuracy of ± 0.1 °C. The sampling interval was set to 30 minutes for all parameters. In context of the long-term monitoring project RegLocDiv (Regional-Local-Diversity) by M. Wahl (Franz, M. et al. 2019a), another seven stations were equipped with the same two types of sensors at 4-6 m depth to continuously record environmental parameters (again: temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen) and included into this data set. These stations are at: Falshoeft, Booknis Eck, Schoenberg, Westermarkelsdorf, Staberhuk, Kellenhusen and Salzhaff (abandoned in 2023). Since 2021, in the context of implementing a reef monitoring to fulfil obligations by the EU Habitats Directive, step-by-step, eleven further stations were installed at reefs in the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic Sea. These are at: Platengrund (14 m depth) and Mittelgrund (8 m) (both since 2021), at Walkyriengrund (9 m), Brodtener Ufer (8 m), Außenschlei (11 m), Kalkgrund (8 m), Stollergrund (7.5 m) and Flueggesand (10 m) (all since 2022), as well as at Gabelsflach (10 m), Sagasbank (8.5 m) and Stabehuk (11.5 m) (all since 2023). Again, at all of these 11 stations, temperature, salinity and dissolved oxygen are continuously logged by self-contained data loggers: Conductivity (and temperature) is logged by HOBO® Salt Water Conductivity/Salinity Data Logger (Onset Computer Corporation, Bourne, MA, USA; https://www.onsetcomp.com) using the U2X protective housing to prevent fouling on the sensors. The same MiniDOT loggers (Precision Measurement Engineering) as at the above mentioned more shallow stations (including antifouling copper plate and mesh) are used to measure dissolved oxygen concentration. Dissolved oxygen concentration data measured by the MiniDOT loggers are corrected for a depth of 10 m (or 2,5 m on the shallow stations) using the software provided by the manufacturer. Additionally, a manual compensation for salinity was calculated (see details in Franz, M. et al. 2019b). Quality control was carried out by spike and gradient tests, following recommendations of SeaDataNet quality control procedures (see https://seadatanet.org/Standards/Data-Quality-Control). All data values were flagged according to applied quality checks using the following flags: 1 = Pass, 2 = Suspect, 3 = Fail, 4 = Visually suspect, 5 = Salinity compensation fail (further explanations can be found in Franz, M. et al. 2019b).

METOP GOME-2 - Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) - Global

Gridded Level 3 SO2 total column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. Volcanoes are the largest soures of SO2 in the atmosphere, depending on the erruption the Sulfurous compounds can be injected into stratosphere but in most cases it stays within the troposphere. Another important source is the coal combustion. Desulfurisation facilities within the power stations have reduced the sulfur emissions around the globe. In the stratosphere sulfur is a key component for building up aerosols, which reflect parts of the solar irradiation. The total SO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the ultraviolet wavelength region [using the DOAS method]. Depending on the plume SO2 can be a very strong absorber, because of that the ODAS retrieval might have some smaller issues, they can be reduced by choosing different wavelenght ranges depending on the signal. We apply three different fitting windows between 310 and 360nm. For the AMF, we assume a plumeheight of 6 km altitude. 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).

METOP GOME-2 - Ozone (O3) - Global

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.

Entwicklung und Fortbestand der Insel Sylt

Langzeitbeobachtungen haben zu dem Ergebnis gefuehrt, dass die Insel jaehrlich im Durchschnitt 1,5 Mio. m3 Sand verliert. Das hydrodynamische Geschehen ist so angelegt, dass der sandige Anteil von der Insel wegtransportiert wird, ihr also verloren geht. Diesen permanenten Sandverlust versucht man staatlicherseits durch Sandvorspuelungen auszugleichen. Dieser vorgespuelte Sand geht aber ebenso verloren, bietet der Insel also keinerlei dauerhaften Schutz. Auf der Grundlage eigener Untersuchungen und Beobachtungen sowie solchen, die im Rahmen des Forschungsprogramms 'Optimierung des Kuestenschutzes auf Sylt' vorgestellt wurden, wurden kombinierte Schutzmassnahmen erarbeitet, die die Erosion minimieren sollten. Das Programm wurde in einer Denkschrift 'Entwicklung und Fortbestand der Insel Sylt' vom 'Verein Deutscher Kuestenschutz' vorgestellt.

Ökologische Grundlagen des Waldwachstums, Wachstumsmonitoring von Fichte, Kiefer, Aspe und Birke in der mittleren Taiga, Komi, NW-Russland

In einem naturnahen Mischbestand werden an der forstlichen Versuchsstation Lyaly (Republik Komi) die Radialveränderungen der Baumschäfte von Fichten (Picea obovata), Kiefern (Pinus sylvestris), Aspen (Populus tremulus) und Birken (Betula spec.) zeitlich hochaufgelöst registriert. An einem Teilkollektiv der Untersuchungsbäume wird zusätzlich im 5-Minuten Takt die elektrische Leitfähigkeit des Stammes registriert. Gleichzeitig werden die Lufttemperatur, die Luftfeuchte sowie die Bodenfeuchte gemessen. Am Untersuchungsstandort werden mit einem Magnetometer Schwankungen des Erdmagnetfeldes in den drei Raumrichtungen registriert. Aus den Analysen werden Informationen über die Bedeutung verschiedener Standorts- und Umweltfaktoren auf das kurz-, mittel- und langfristige Wuchsverhalten von Bäumen erwartet.
