Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Cloud Optical Thickness (COT), Level 3 – Global

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.

Microbial community composition and bacterioplankton at time series station Helgoland Roads, North Sea

A process of global importance in carbon cycling is the remineralization of algae biomass by heterotrophic bacteria, most notably during massive marine algae blooms. Such blooms can trigger secondary blooms of planktonic bacteria that consist of swift successions of distinct bacterial clades, most prominently members of the Flavobacteriia, Gammaproteobacteria and the alphaproteobacterial Roseobacter clade. This study explores such successions during spring phytoplankton blooms in the southern North Sea (German Bight) for four consecutive years. The surface water samples were taken at Helgoland Island about 40 km offshore in the southeastern North Sea in the German Bight at the station 'Kabeltonne' (54° 11.3' N, 7° 54.0' E) between the main island and the minor island, Düne (German for 'dune') using small research vessels (http://www.awi.de/en/expedition/ships/more-ships.html). Water depths at this site fluctuate from 6 to 10 m over the tidal cycle. Samples were processed as described previously (Teeling et al., 2012; doi:10.7554/eLife.11888.001) in the laboratory of the Biological Station Helgoland within less than two hours after sampling. Assessment of absolute cell numbers and bacterioplankton community composition was carried out as described previously (Thiele et al., 2011; doi:10.1016/B978-0-444-53199-5.00056-7). To obtain total cell numbers, DNA of formaldehyde fixed cells filtered on 0.2 mm pore sized filters was stained with 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Fluorescently labeled cells were subsequently counted on filter sections using an epifluores-cence microscope. Likewise, bacterioplankton community composition was assessed by catalyzedreporter deposition fluorescence in situ hybridization (CARD-FISH) of formaldehyde fixed cells on 0.2 mm pore sized filters.

Weiterentwicklung der Anforderungen an die Formaldehyd- und VOC-Emissionen beim Blauen Engel für Holzwerkstoffe und andere innenraumrelevante Produkte

Der Blaue Engel ist ein zentrales Instrument für die Auswahl von emissionsarmen und umweltfreundlichen Produkten. Vor dem Hintergrund geänderter Prüfbedingungen gemäß Chemikalien-Verbotsverordnung stellte sich die Frage, ob Bodenbeläge, die bereits mit dem Blauen Engel ausgezeichnet sind, die Anforderungen unter den neuen Prüfbedingungen erfüllen und ob die für Formaldehyd genannten Prüfbedingungen auch für die Bewertung der weiteren Emissionen flüchtiger organischer Verbindungen zugrunde gelegt werden können. Hierzu wurden unterschiedliche Bodenbeläge gemäß DIN EN 16516 in den Prüfszenarien nach ChemVerbotsV und AgBB-Schema sowie einige gemäß EN 717-1 vergleichend untersucht. Der Bericht enthält darauf aufbauend Vorschläge für die Weiterentwicklung der Vergabekriterien des Blauen Engel in Bezug auf Formaldehyd und VOC. Veröffentlicht in Texte | 43/2026.

Ecosystem functions of rare arable plants - field study: Araneae data

Partly taken from the materials and methods of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2022.12.003: To compare the activity densities of ground-dwelling predators between treatments with and without RAPs, spiders were sampled using pitfall traps, which were set up after each round of aphid counting (one per plot, twice per year; Brown & Matthews, 2016). The traps (with a volume of 400 ml and a width of 90 mm) were filled with a mixture of water and ethylene glycol (1:1; 120 ml) and dug at ground level into the middle of each plot. The traps were covered with a plastic roof and a metal grid (15 × 15 mm grid size) to avoid overflowing during rain and accidental rodent catches (Császár et al., 2018). The traps were activated for 7 days. Subsequently, all arthropods were transferred into 70% ethanol. Spiders were identified to species according to Nentwig et al. (2019). Spider hunting strategy (active hunter or web-builder) was used as the feeding trait according to Cardoso et al. (2011).

Ecosystem functions of rare arable plants - field experiment: Carabidae data

Partly taken from the materials and methods of https://doi.org/10.1016/j.baae.2022.12.003: To compare the activity densities of ground-dwelling predators between treatments with and without RAPs, carabids were sampled using pitfall traps, which were set up after each round of aphid counting (one per plot, twice per year; Brown & Matthews, 2016).

The traps were activated for 7 days. Subsequently, all arthropods were transferred into 70% ethanol. Carabids were identified to species according to Hůrka (1996). Carabid feeding behavior was classified according to Homburg et al. (2014). To simplify the dataset, carabid feeding behavior was classified as predominantly granivorous (species mainly feed on seeds and fruits) or as carnivorous/omnivorous, because carnivorous and omnivorous species are potentially feeding on aphids and other non-plant material.

Untersuchung der katalytischen Prozesse in Elektrolyse- und Synthesereaktionen (im Verbundprojekt: Entwicklung eines tubularen Dampf-Elektrolyseurs mit integrierter Kohlenwasserstoffsynthese)

Im Rahmen der in Deutschland stattfindenden Energiewende werden zur Substituierung fossiler Energieträger zunehmend erneuerbare Energien eingesetzt. Die regelmäßige Verfügbarkeit dieser Energiequellen ist nur bei einem kleinen und kaum erweiterbaren Teil, hauptsächlich der Wasserkraft und der Biomasseverwertung, gegeben. Die Nutzung von Wasserstoff als Energieträger der erneuerbaren Energien (Wasserstoffwirtschaft) erscheint aufgrund hoher Anfangsinvestitionen zur Umrüstung der auf Kohlenwasserstoffen basierenden Energieinfrastruktur sowie der geringen volumetrischen Energiespeicherdichte des Wasserstoffs problematisch. Eine interessante Möglichkeit zur Lösung der Speicherproblematik bei gleichzeitiger Beibehaltung der vorhandenen Infrastruktur besteht in der Herstellung von Methanol aus Kohlendioxid und Elektrolyse-Wasserstoff, der mittels erneuerbarer Energien erzeugt wird. Durch eine stoffliche Nutzung von Kohlendioxid lassen sich in Folge CO2 ?Emissionen mindern, und CO2 wird dadurch in einem Kreislauf genutzt, ohne dass die Atmosphäre durch zusätzliche Emissionen belastet wird. Für die Umsetzung dieses Konzepts müssen geringe Systemkosten bei hohen Wirkungsgraden erreicht werden. Beide Kriterien sprechen für die Nutzung der Hochtemperaturelektrolyse zur Herstellung von Wasserstoff für eine anschließende Kohlenwasserstoffsynthese. Bisher wurden in Hochtemperatur?Elektrolyseuren sauerstoffleitende Elektrolyte verwendet. Das Teilvorhaben der Professur für Technische Thermodynamik innerhalb des Verbundprojektes umfasst die Charakterisierung der eingesetzten Katalysatoren sowie deren Wirkungsweise und die Untersuchung der katalytischen Prozesse mit experimentellen Methoden. Damit soll der Gesamtprozess hinsichtlich der Katalysatoren optimiert werden.
