Sentinel-5P TROPOMI - Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), Level 3 - Global

Aerosol optical depth (AOD) as derived from TROPOMI observations. AOD describes the attenuation of the transmitted radiant power by the absence of aerosols. Attenuation can be caused by absorption and/or scattering. AOD is the primary parameter to evaluate the impact of aerosols on weather and climate. Daily AOD observations are binned onto a regular latitude-longitude grid. 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 is created in the scope of the project INPULS. It 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.

Sentinel-5P TROPOMI – Aerosol Index (AI), Level 3 – Global

Aerosol Index (AI) as derived from TROPOMI observations. AI is an indicator for episodic aerosol plumes from dust outbreaks, volcanic ash, and biomass burning.

Fernerkundung atmosphaerischer Parameter und deren Nutzung fuer die Untersuchung klimarelevanter Prozesse sowie von Spurenstofftransporten und -umsetzungen

Untersuchung klimarelevanter Prozesse im mesoskaligen Bereich durch die Erfassung meteorologischer Groessen und Spurenstoffe mit Hilfe von bodengebundenen, flugzeug-, ballon- oder satellitengetragenen Instrumenten. Dazu gehoeren die Entwicklung und Erprobung neuer Verfahren und Messgeraete zur Fernerkundung atmosphaerischer Parameter. Mit Ballonmessungen werden die photochemischen Umsetzungen und der Tagesgang von Spurenstoffen in der Atmosphaere verfolgt. Beitraege zu umweltrelevanten Problemen (z.B. Ozonloch) ergeben sich aus den bodengebundenen Spurengasmengen. Teilziele sind: Einsatz von Michelson-Interferometern, Erprobung bodengebundener Fernmessverfahren fuer Messungen in der Troposphaere (SODAR, RADAR, RASS), Verfahren zur Gewinnung von Landoberflaechenparametern, meteorologischen Vertikalprofilen und Spurengasverteilungen aus Satellitendaten, Untersuchung von Transportvorgaengen und zeitlichem Verlauf von Konzentrationsaenderungen und photo-chemischen Umsetzungen.

METOP GOME-2 - Cloud Top Pressure (CTP) - Global

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. Currently, there are three GOME-2 instruments operating on board EUMETSAT's Meteorological Operational satellites MetOp-A, -B and -C, launched in October 2006, September 2012, and November 2018, respectively. GOME-2 can measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distributions. 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 level 2 products in the framework of EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring (AC-SAF). GOME-2 near-real-time products are available already two hours after sensing. OCRA (Optical Cloud Recognition Algorithm) and ROCINN (Retrieval of Cloud Information using Neural Networks) are used for retrieving the following geophysical cloud properties from GOME and GOME-2 data: cloud fraction (cloud cover), cloud-top pressure (cloud-top height), and cloud optical thickness (cloud-top albedo). OCRA is an optical sensor cloud detection algorithm that uses the PMD devices on GOME / GOME-2 to deliver cloud fractions for GOME / GOME-2 scenes. ROCINN takes the OCRA cloud fraction as input and uses a neural network training scheme to invert GOME / GOME-2 reflectivities in and around the O2-A band. VLIDORT [Spurr (2006)] templates of reflectances based on full polarization scattering of light are used to train the neural network. ROCINN retrieves cloud-top pressure and cloud-top albedo. The cloud-top pressure for GOME scenes is derived from the cloud-top height provided by ROCINN and an appropriate pressure profile.

Global filtered tropospheric NO2 slant column densities derived from 6-year averages of TROPOMI measurements over water for shipping signal detection

This dataset contains 6-year averages of global filtered tropospheric NO2 slant column densities (tSCDs) retrieved from the Sentinel-5 Precursor (S5P) satellite sensor TROPOMI (Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument) for the period from 1 May 2018 to 30 April 2024. All data are available on a 0.03° x 0.03° grid. The NO2 tSCDs are derived from the total slant columns by subtracting the across-track NO2 slant column stripe offset and spatially averaged stratospheric vertical column densities (VCDs) multiplied with the stratospheric air mass factor (AMF), provided in the TROPOMI NO2 product. The filtered NO2 tSCDs are developed to detect global shipping signals in the NO2 TROPOMI data. Therefore, only pixels over water are available in this dataset. The filtering methods include a high-pass filter with different box sizes (1°, 0.5°, 0.25°) and a Fourier filter. In addition, different flagging criteria are applied to the data with the standard box size of 1° for the high-pass filtering: no flagging, quality (qa) flagging, cloud fraction (CF) flagging, cloud height (CH) flagging, wind speed (wind) flagging, and sun glint (sg) flagging.
