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.

Die Atmosphäre und die Vegetation der Erdoberfläche beeinflussen sich gegenseitig durch bidirektionale Austauschprozesse. Modelle zur Wetter- und Klimavorhersage basieren auf einem mechanistischen Verständnis dieser Interaktionen. Die Vorhersagen und die grundlegenden Theorien funktionieren allerdings nur im Falle einer gut durchmischten (turbulenten) atmosphärischen Grenzschicht. Wenn jedoch stabile atmosphärische Bedingungen vorherrschen, wie typischerweise nachts der Fall, dann sind die bisherigen Theorien nicht ausreichend, um zuverlässige Vorhersagen zu treffen. Um oberflächennahe turbulente Austauschprozesse während stabiler atmosphärischer Schichtung mechanistisch zu verstehen und neue Theorien zu entwickeln, sind zunächst neuartige Mess- und Analyse-Methoden notwendig. Ziel dieses Projekts ist die Beobachtung und Charakterisierung von oberflächennahen Prozessen in der stabilen atmosphärischen Grenzschicht durch eine neuartige Kombination von Mess- und Analysemethoden. Mit einem hochauflösenden in-situ Messkubus (20x20x5m), der sich innerhalb eines größeren mittels Fernerkundung überwachten Raumes (500x500x1000m) befindet, können Bewegung und Strukturen von Temperatur gleichzeitig in Raum und Zeit erfasst werden. Dieser skalenübergreifende Ansatz erlaubt es, nicht-periodische, nicht gut gemischte und räumlich heterogene Bewegungen der Luft nahe der Erdoberfläche zu erfassen. Die gewonnenen Daten werden mittels neuester stochastischer Auswerteverfahren analysiert, um die (nicht-)turbulenten Bedingungen und deren Durchmischung zu charakterisieren. Der wissenschaftliche Gewinn des Projektes liegt in einem wegweisenden innovativen Ansatz, um Modelle in den Bereichen Strömungsmechanik und Erd-System Wissenschaften zu validieren, und so zu einem verbesserten Verständnis unseres Lebensraums, der Schnittstelle zwischen Land und Atmosphäre, zu führen.
Nebel als meteorologisches Phänomen kann große Auswirkungen für die Wirtschaft, aber auch auf die persönliche Sicherheit haben, indem er die Sichtweite in der atmosphärischen Grenzschicht reduziert. Wirtschaftliche Verluste für den Luft-, See-, und Landvekehr als Folge von Nebel sind dabei vergleichbar zu Verlusten durch Winterstürme. Trotz der Fülle an Literatur über Nebel bleibt unser Verständnis der physikalischen Prozesse die zu Nebelbildung und seiner Mikrophysik beitragen unvollständig. Dies ist dadurch begründet, dass mehrere komplexe Prozesse, wie z.B. Strahlungsabkühlung, turbulentes Durchmischen und die mikrophysikalischen Prozesse nichtlinear miteinander interagieren. Zusätzlich verkomplizieren Bodenheterogenitäten bezüglich Vegetation und Bodeneigenschaften die Vorhersagbarkeit von Nebel. Die Fähigkeit von numerischen Wettervorhersagemodellen Nebel vorherzusagen ist in Folge dessen noch dürftig. In diesem Projekt werden hochaufgelöste Grobstruktursimulationen (Large-Eddy Simulationen, LES) verwendet um den Effekt von Turbulenz auf nächtliche Strahlungsnebel zu untersuchen. Das LES Modell PALM wird dazu mit einer sehr hohen Auflösung von etwa 1 m verwendet. Dabei werden in den LES sowohl ein Euler'sches Bulk Wolkenphysikschema, als auch ein Lagrange'sches Partikelmodell, welches die explizite Behandlung von Aerosolen und Nebeltropfen erlaubt, verwendet. Dieser innovative Ansatz erlaubt die Nebeltropfen-Turbulenz-Interaktion zum ersten Mal mit LES zu untersuchen. Das Ziel dieser Studie ist es, einen umfassenden Überblick über die Schlüsselparameter zu erhalten, welche den Lebenszyklus sowie die dreidimensionale Makro- und Mikrostruktur von Strahlungsnebel bestimmen. Weiterhin wird der Effekt von nächtlichem Strahlungsnebel auf die morgendliche Übergangszeit und die Grenzschicht am Tag untersucht. Der Effekt von Bodenheterogenitäten auf nächtlichen Strahlungsnebel wird mit Hilfe von aufgeprägten regelmäßigen idealisierten und unregelmäßigen beobachteten Bodenheterogenitäten in den LES untersucht. Die LES Daten werden anhand von Messdaten der meteorologischen Messstandorte in Cabauw (Niederlande) und Lindenberg (Deutschland) validiert und mit Simulationsdaten des eindimensionalen Grenzschicht- und Nebelvorhersagemodells PAFOG (Universität Bonn) verglichen.
