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.
Müller, Viktoria; Preihs, Marc; Caldeira, Thiago I; Göckener, Bernd; Mesko, Marcia F; Koschorreck, Jan; Feldmann, Jörg Environmental Pollution Long-term PFAS trends assessed in roe deer livers (1998–2022). Target PFAS declined from 64 to 8 ng g −1 , mainly due to PFOS phase-outs. PFCA share increased while PFSA contribution markedly decreased. Large fluorine gap highlights need for comprehensive PFAS ban. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent environmental pollutants with widespread occurrence and bioaccumulation potential. Regulatory measures have been introduced to limit the use of certain PFAS, yet their presence remains detectable in wildlife. This study examines long-term trends in PFAS concentrations in one-year-old roe deer livers (n = 28) collected from the Bavarian Forest National Park between 1998 and 2022. Targeted analysis revealed that ΣPFAS target significantly declined over the years (64–8 ng g ꟷ1 ), driven by the decrease in perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) concentrations from 43 to 0.7 ng g ꟷ1 , aligning well with phase outs and restrictions. Between 1998 and 2022, ΣPFCA target accounted for 28 %–76 % of the ΣPFAS target while ΣPFSA target decreased from 71 % to 20 % by 2020. Methanol extractable organic fluorine (EOF) content was <115 ng F g ꟷ1 ., while total fluorine (TF) content in the livers was found up to 5900 ± 430 ng F g ꟷ1 . As fluoride does not typically accumulate in soft tissues, the results emphasize the need for improved detection methods for EOF. These findings highlight the limitations of substance-specific regulations and reinforce the necessity for a comprehensive PFAS ban to prevent further environmental contamination. doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2026.127685
Aerosol single-scattering albedo (ASSA) as derived from TROPOMI observations. ASSA is a measure of how much light is scattered by aerosols compared to how much is absorbed. It is important for understanding the impact of aerosols on climate and radiative forcing. ASSA is unitless; a value of unity implies that extinction is completely due to scattering; conversely, a single-scattering albedo of zero implies that extinction is completely due to absorption. Daily ASSA observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid.

Aerosols are an indicator for episodic aerosol plumes from dust outbreaks, volcanic ash, and biomass burning. Daily observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid.

UV Index (UVI) as derived from TROPOMI observations. The UVI describes the intensity of the solar ultraviolet radiation. Values around zero indicate low, values greater than 10 indicate very high UV exposure on the ground.

This dataset contains morphological stomach content data of the demersal flatfish Buglossidium luteum (solenette) collected at multiple sampling stations in the German Bight. At each station, B. luteum individuals were sampled during daytime using an epibenthic dredge (1 m width, 1 cm mesh size) towed for 5 minutes. Immediately after capture, fish were individually sealed in storage bags and frozen at −80 °C to preserve gut contents. In the laboratory, specimens were transferred to freezers and stored at −28 °C until further processing. Selected fish were defrosted and stomachs were removed and weighed. All prey items were sorted and identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level using a stereomicroscope (Leica MZ12), based on regional identification keys, taxonomic catalogues, expert consultation, and comparisons with fresh reference material. Occasionally, digestion and mastication of individuals resulted in the loss of diagnostic features. In those cases, individuals were determined at a higher taxonomic level. All taxa were quantified in terms of abundance and biomass (wet mass; measured to 0.0001g) within the stomachs, and stored in 70% ethanol. Following analysis, prey items were preserved in 70% ethanol. The stomach content dataset was curated by excluding foraminifera, nematodes, and parasites.
