Exposure to ultrafine aerosol particles (UFPs) can cause adverse effects on human health, local environment and climate. Air traffic is associated with the emission of high numbers of UFPs, which results in increased UFP number concentrations close to airports. So far, the spatial distribution and variability of UFPs is poorly understood in the atmospheric boundary layer. The uncrewed aerial system (UAS) ALADINA (Application of Lightweight Aircraft for Detecting In-situ Aerosols, e.g. Altstädter et al., 2015) was operated close to the largest airport in Germany at Frankfurt airport (FRA) between 11 and 19 October 2024. The dataset provides airborne in-situ observations of the spatial distribution of aerosol particle number concentration with different sizes and meteorological parameters of temperature, humidity, wind, surface temperature and short-wave irradiance, as well as accurate position and orientation of ALADINA. Data are available from 26 measurement flights, comprising a number of 122 vertical profiles between ground and a maximum altitude of 750 m above mean sea level (ASL) and about 70 horizontal legs at different but constant altitude, e.g. in 100 m altitude intervals. Details about the ALADINA measurements will be provided in a publication (Harm-Altstädter et al., in prep.) soon.

Der menschliche Einfluss auf großräumige Änderungen des Klimas hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten stark zugenommen, sowohl in Atmosphäre, Ozean und Kryosphäre. Die genauen Eigenschaften physikalischer Prozesse und Mechanismen, die den menschlichen Einfluss von großräumigen auf lokale Skalen übertragen, sind allerdings kaum bekannt. Dies bedeutet eine erhebliche Unsicherheit für die Folgen des Klimawandels in der Zukunft. Das Problem der Übertragung betrifft auch den Gletscherrückgang im Hochgebirge, der überdies ein seltener Indikator für den Klimawandel in der mittleren Troposphäre ist. --- Das vorliegende Projekt hat das Ziel, unser Verständnis des Klimawandels in großer Höhe entscheidend zu verbessern. Das Fundament dafür legt eine neuartige und interdisziplinäre Methodik, mit der wir den menschlichen Anteil am Klimawandel in der großräumigen Klimadynamik, der regionalen Zirkulation über den ausgewählten Gebirgen sowie in der atmosphärischen Grenzschicht der dortigen Gletscher quantifizieren können. Die Verknüpfung prozessauflösender, physikalischer Modelle von globaler bis lokaler Skala sowie außergewöhnliche Messungen auf Gletschern in großer Höhe spannen diese Methodik auf. Sie wird letztlich ermöglichen, den menschlichen Anteil präzise zu erklären und die dafür verantwortlichen Mechanismen ausweisen zu können, inklusive der empfindlichsten Zusammenhänge im multiskaligen System ('Achillesfersen'). --- Der Einfluss des Projekts wird sich deutlich über die Glaziologie hinaus erstrecken. Unser Wissen über das globale Klimasystem wird durch den besser verstandenen Aspekt der Verknüpfung zwischen bodennahen Luftschichten und der mittleren Troposphäre profitieren. Auf regionalen und lokalen Skalen helfen die Ergebnisse für die Abschätzung von Klimafolgen, da Gletscheränderungen Wasserreserven und Naturgefahren beeinflussen. Und schließlich werden die Ergebnisse neue Wege für die Klimafolgenforschung allgemein aufzeigen, indem sie eine prozessauflösende und skalenübergreifende Methodik demonstrieren.
Insbesondere der Einfluss der Eigenschaften von Vegetationskronen und ihrer räumlich-zeitlichen Dynamik auf Rückkopplungen zwischen der Landoberfläche und der Atmosphäre (d. h. Temperatur, Niederschlag, Luftfeuchtigkeit, Eigenschaften der atmosphärischen Grenzschicht) sind nicht abschließend geklärt. Ein Hauptgrund dafür ist, dass hochauflösende Beobachtungsdatenprodukte (z. B. zur Vegetationskronenfeuchte) noch nicht mit hoher räumlicher Auflösung (Dekameter-Skala) und für mehrjährige Zeitserien verfügbar sind: weder aus der Fernerkundung noch von Modellen. Darüber hinaus können Heterogenitäten der Landoberfläche (z. B. Vielfalt in der Vegetationsbedeckung) erhebliche Auswirkungen auf Rückkopplungsprozesse zwischen Baumkronen und benachbarter Atmosphäre haben, ihre Darstellung in Modellen reicht jedoch bei hohen räumlichen Auflösungen nicht aus. Um diese Lücken zu schließen, werden auf der Fernerkundung basierende Produkte entwickelt, um einige der vielfältigen unterschiedlichen Vegetationsbedingungen zu berücksichtigen. In diesem Sinne besteht die Idee von Projekt 2 darin, eine Reihe von Eigenschaften der Vegetationskrone zu überwachen, einschließlich Wassergehalt (z. B. Boden- und Vegetationsfeuchtigkeit) und Flüsse (z. B. Evapotranspiration) sowohl vor Ort (In-situ-Daten) als auch auf regionalen (Erdsystemmodelle) Skalen. Der Ansatz nutzt die potenziellen Synergien zwischen optischen, passiven und aktiven Mikrowellensensoren, die ergänzende Informationen bieten, um Fernerkundungssignale (z. B. Mikrowellendämpfung) in biophysikalische Variablen (z. B. gravimetrische Vegetationsfeuchtigkeit, Evapotranspiration oder Vegetationsstruktur und -dichte) umzuwandeln. Diese einzigartigen und beispiellosen Datensätze der satellitengestützten Multisensor-Fernerkundung werden in Land-Atmosphäre (L-A) Modelle eingespeist, um Grenzschichteigenschaften und L-A-Rückkopplungen zu bestimmen und zu analysieren. Alle diese Landoberflächenvariablen können synergetisch dazu beitragen, den Zusammenhang zwischen Boden, Vegetation und den Prozessen der atmosphärischen Grenzschicht zu verstehen und L-A-Modelle zu initialisieren. P2 konzentriert sich direkt auf die hochauflösende (Dekameter-Skala) Bestimmung von Zuständen und räumlich-zeitlichen Dynamiken der Feuchtigkeit, Temperatur und Topographie der Vegetationskrone, um Feuchtigkeits- und Temperaturverteilungen zur Beurteilung der Transpiration und der Form sowie der 3D-Dynamik der atmosphärischen Rauheitsunterschicht nach zu verfolgen. Dies wird durch die Kombination von Multisensor-Fernerkundungsbeobachtungen (z. B. Copernicus Sentinel-Satelliten und weltraumgestützte LiDARs) erreicht. Räumlich-zeitlich dynamische Informationen dieser Vegetationsvariablen werden für die Integration in die Reihe an Land-Atmosphäre-Modellen von LAFI vorbereitet, um Grenzschichteigenschaften zu bewerten und L-A-Rückkopplungen zu verstehen.
