Gridded Level 3 tropospheric NO2 column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. In the troposphere NO2 is a short-lived atmospheric constituent caused by combustion processes, e.g. fossil fuel consumption or biomass buring or by lightning. NO2 plays an important role in the formation of ozone. The total NO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the visible wavelength region around 440nm [using the DOAS method]. To derive tropospheric NO2 columns, the estimated stratospheric component is substracted from the total column. In addition, an air mass factor based on monthly climatological NO2 profiles is considered. 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).
The long-term ecological research benthic monitoring comprises four representative permanent stations (SSd, Slt, FSd and WB) that have been sampled countinuously since 1969. The four stations are representative for the different benthic communities in the German Bight. Inter-annual variability and possible long-term trends were analysed based on spring-time samples since 1969. Earlier datasets have been published in the publication series https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.667646. Macrozoobenthos of soft-bottom benthic community was collected by van-Veen grabs. This dataset contains the continuation of this time series with the samples collected in spring between 2012 and 2015 each year in the North Sea, German Bight. Data for each campaign comprise four stations in the German Bight, sampled by grab samples (infauna). Biodiversity data of species include abundance (count data) and biomass (wet mass, g) per sample.
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).

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).

Gridded Level 3 formaldehyde (HCHO) column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. In the troposphere HCHO is a short-lived atmospheric constituent caused by incomplete combustion processes, e.g. fossil fuel consumption or biomass buring or it is build by atmospheric chemical species from other volatile organic component (VOCs). It plays an important role in the build up of tropospheric ozone. The total HCHO column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the UV wavelength region 328.5nm to 346nm [using the DOAS method]. In addition, an air mass factor based on monthly climatological HCHO profiles is considered.

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.

Die Hydrologie der Landoberfläche wirkt an der Schnittstelle zwischen Boden, Vegetation und Atmosphäre. Sie hat dadurch Auswirkungen auf Nahrungsmittelproduktion, Wasserverfügbarkeit und Extremereignisse, wie Dürren und Überschwemmungen. Die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Land (Hydrologie) und Atmosphäre (Wetter) sind bisher nur ungenügend verstanden. Es ist insbesondere unklar, ob sich die Einflüsse der Landoberfläche auf Vegetation und Wetter durch die globale Erwärmung verstärken werden. Darüber hinaus ist nur wenig bekannt bezüglich des Übergangs von einem energielimitierten Regime, wo die Atmosphäre (Temperatur und Einstrahlung) das Land (Vegetationsproduktivität, Bodenfeuchte) beeinflusst, hin zu einem wasserlimitierten Regime, wo das Land (auch) die Atmosphäre beeinflusst. Um das Verständnis der Land-Atmosphäre-Wechselwirkungen zu verbessern, wird ein multivariater Ansatz mit der Analyse von Daten über Bodenfeuchte, Matrixpotential, Bruttoprimärproduktion, Verdunstung, Temperatur und Landoberflächencharakteristiken vorgeschlagen. Mit dieser umfassenden Methodik werden Land-Atmosphäre-Wechselwirkungen in Bezug auf ihre kurz- und langfristige Variabilität, sowie auf ihre Veränderungen im Kontext des Klimawandels untersucht. Ausserdem werden potentiell stark betroffene Regionen bestimmt. Desweiteren wird ein kritischer Bereich der Bodenfeuchte und/oder des Matrixpotentials identifiziert und charakterisiert, ab dem eine Wasserlimitierung von Vegetation oder Evapotranspiration auftritt. Ein Ergebnis dieser Analyse wird die Identifizierung eines dritten charakteristischen Matrixpotentials neben dem permanenten Welkepunkt und der Feldkapazität sein. Als Grundlage für diese Untersuchungen wird mittels eines Landoberflächenmodells von geeigneter Komplexität ein langfristiger, qualitativ hochwertiger hydrologischer Datensatz berechnet, welcher anhand von multivariaten Beobachtungen kalibriert wird. Dabei werden auch die Unsicherheiten des Datensatzes, sowie der multivariaten Beobachtungen, thematisiert. Die Resultate dieser Arbeit können helfen das Management von Wasserressourcen zu verbessern. Beispielsweise können Prognosen des Matrixpotentials in Verbindung mit dem identifizierten kritischen Bereich für eine intelligente Bewässerung von Pflanzen und Feldern verwendet werden. Eine Analyse von langfristigen Trends in Matrixpotential-, Bodenfeuchte- und Abflussdaten kann als Grundlage für langfristige Anpassungsmaßnahmen dienen. In einer weiteren Analyse werden Größenordnungen und Auftrittshäufigkeiten von Extremereignissen, wie Dürren und Überschwemmungen untersucht und in Verbindung mit entstandenen Sach- und Personenschäden gebracht. Diese Arbeit trägt zu den Millenniums-Entwicklungszielen der Vereinten Nationen bezüglich der Bekämpfung von Hunger und einer nachhaltigeren Wassernutzung, den 'Europa 2020' Zielen der EU Kommission bezüglich nachhaltiger Energienutzung, und zum 'grand challenge' Wasserverfügbarkeit des Weltklimaforschungsprogramms bei.
Das Forsthydrologische Forschungsgebiet Reinhardswald (Nordhessen) umfasst das 420 ha grosse, bewaldete Einzugsgebiet des Elsterbaches. Dort werden seit 1971 Wasser- und Stoffbilanzuntersuchungen durchgefuehrt. Vorrangiges Ziel ist es, die atmogene Saeure- und Schadstoffbelastung dieses repraesentativen Mittelgebirgs-Waldoekosystems zu quantifizieren und die langfristigen Auswirkungen der sauren Deposition auf die forstlichen Standorte, die Waldbestockung, das Abflussverhalten/-regime und die Gewaesserqualitaet zu dokumentieren. Im Rahmen einer normalen forstlichen Bewirtschaftung wird das Forschungsgebiet Reinhardswald also als 'Barometer-Einzugsgebiet' zum Erkennen exogen verursachter Veraenderungen im Wasser- und Stoffhaushalt genutzt
