METOP GOME-2 - Bromine Monoxide (BrO) - Global

Gridded Level 3 BrO total column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. In the troposphere BrO is a short-lived atmospheric constituent released from the sea (via algae or so called ice flowers). Also volcanic eruptions emit bromine compounds reacting to BrO. In the stratosphere, the major source of BrO are halogenated hydrocarbos that are destroyed by high energy UV radiation. In the stratosphere, BrO plays a key role in the ozone hole chemistry. The total BrO column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the UV wavelength region between 332 and 359 nm [using the DOAS method]. The applied Airmassfactor is based on monthly climatologies. 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. Three instruments operate on board EUMETSAT's Meteorological Operational satellites MetOp-A, -B, and -C, launched in 2006, 2012, and 2018, respectively. GOME-2 measures a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distribution. 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 products in the framework of EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Atmospheric Composition Monitoring (AC-SAF).

METOP GOME-2 - Tropospheric Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) - Global

Gridded Level 3 tropospheric NO2 column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. In the troposphere NO2 is a short-lived atmospheric constituent caused by combustion processes, e.g. fossil fuel consumption or biomass buring or by lightning. NO2 plays an important role in the formation of ozone. The total NO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the visible wavelength region around 440nm [using the DOAS method]. To derive tropospheric NO2 columns, the estimated stratospheric component is substracted from the total column. In addition, an air mass factor based on monthly climatological NO2 profiles is considered. 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.

Satellite Color Images, Vegetation Indices, and Metabolism Indices from Jüterbog, Germany from 1984 – 2023

The "Germany Mosaic" is a time series of Landsat satellite images and vectorized segments covering the entirety of Germany from 1984 to 2023. The image data are divided into TK100 sheet sections (see further details: Blattschnitt der Topographischen Karte 1:100 000). The dataset provides optimized 6-band imagery for each year, representing summer (May to July) and autumn (August to October) seasons, along with vegetation indices such as NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) and NirV (Near-Infrared Reflectance of Vegetation) for the same periods. Additionally, vectorized "zones" of approximately homogeneous pixels are available for each year. The spectral properties of the image data and the morphological characteristics of these zones are included as vector attributes (see Documentation: "Mosaic (1984–2023) - Data Description"). An overview of the coverage and quality of all sheet sections is provided as a vector layer titled D-Mosaik_Sheet-Sections within this document. The Germany Mosaic can also be considered a spatial-temporal Data Cube, enabling advanced analysis and integration into workflows requiring multi-dimensional data. This structure allows users to perform operations such as querying data across specific time periods, analyzing trends over decades, or aggregating spatial information to generate tailored insights for a wide range of research applications. In mid-latitudes, seasonal variations in vegetation—and consequently in the image data—are typically more pronounced than changes occurring over several years. The temporal segmentation of the dataset has been designed to encompass the entire vegetation period (May to October), with the division into summer and autumn periods capturing seasonal metabolic shifts in natural biotopes. This segmentation also records most agricultural changes, including sowing and harvesting activities. Depending on weather conditions, the individual image data represent either the median, mean value, or the best available image for the specified time period (see Documentation: "Mosaic (1984–2023) - Data Description). Remote sensing has become an indispensable tool for environmental research, particularly in landscape analysis. Beyond conventional applications, the Germany Mosaic supports the development of digital twins in environmental system research. By providing detailed spatial and temporal data, this dataset enables the modeling of virtual ecosystems, facilitating simulations, scenario testing, and predictive analyses for sustainable management. Moreover, the spatial and temporal trends captured by remotely sensed parameters complement traditional approaches in biological, ecological, geographical, and epidemiological research.

Fernerkundung - Höhenmodelle Hamburg

In der <b> Fernerkundung - Höhenmodelle</b> werden von der Stadtfläche Hamburg Höhendaten über unterschiedliche Systeme und Sensoriken generiert, aufbereitet und als hochwertige Geodaten bereitgestellt. Dabei wird kategorisch zwischen Geländemodellen und Oberflächenmodellen unterschieden. Geländemodelle bilden den direkten Boden ohne Objekte (Bauwerke, Baumbestände, etc.) ab. Bei Oberflächenmodellen wird bildhaft ein Tuch über die Stadt gelegt. Alles was das fiktive Tuch berührt, wird als Oberfläche mit entsprechenden Höheninformationen geführt. <br> Die Daten unterstützen bei der Dokumentation von Veränderungen, der städtischen Planung und der Überwachung von Umweltentwicklungen. Sie können sowohl als Datengrundlage für KI-Trainingsdaten als auch zur direkten Betrachtung der urbanen Landschaft genutzt werden. <br><br>Unser Ziel ist es, diese hochwertigen Daten nicht nur Fachleuten, sondern auch der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen – leicht verständlich und nutzerfreundlich. <b>&#8594; Ein Blick in die Daten lohnt sich.</b><br><br> <u><i>Hinweis:</i></u> So vielfältig die Anwendungsbereiche sind, so vielfältig sind auch unsere Datensätze. Je nach Aufnahmesystem – ob <b>Drohne</b>, <b>Flugzeug</b> oder <b>Satellit</b> variieren die Daten in ihrer Qualität und Detailtiefe. Diese Unterschiede zeigen sich etwa in der räumlichen Auflösung, der Punktdichte und/oder der Aktualität der Daten (zeitliche Auflösung). Nähere Informationen sind aus den Metadaten der Datensätze zu entnehmen.<br>

Statistical-dynamical methods for scale dependent model evaluation and short term precipitation forecasting (STAMPF)

Das Ziel des Projektes ist die skalenabhängige Evaluierung von Niederschlagsprognosen der DWD-Modellkette (LM/GME) bezüglich dynamischer Parameter und Wolkeneigenschaften. Ein neu entwickelter dynamischer Zustandsindex (DSI), die mit der spezifischen Feuchte gewichtete Divergenz sowie Wolkentyp, Bedeckung und Höhe der Wolkenobergrenze sind die Evaluierungsparamater. Der DSI wurde aus den ursprünglichen Gleichungen abgeleitet und beschreibt die Abweichungen von einem verallgemeinerten dynamischen Gleichgewicht, verursacht durch Instationarität und diabatische Prozesse. Die Evaluierung konzentriert sich auf die Wechselwirkungen zwischen der synoptischen und konvektiven Skala, die häufig die Ursache für extreme Niederschlagsereignisse sind. Sie untersucht die Beziehung zwischen den synoptisch-skaligen Prozessen und der konvektiven Parameterisierung. Eine Voraussetzung der Evaluierung ist eine vom Modell unabhängige feldmäßige Analyse des täglichen Niederschlages und der Wolkenparameter in der Gitterauflösung des LM/GME. Ein schon existierendes Analyseschema der synoptischen Beobachtungen wird weiter verbessert und erweitert durch Satellitendaten. Diese liefern kontinuierliche Wolkendaten und Niederschlagsraten. Die Genauigkeit der analysierten Felder wird mit Hilfe moderner statistischer Methoden abgeschätzt. In einem weiteren Schritt werden die getesteten dynamischen Parameter zu einer quasi-prognostischen Niederschlagsvorhersage oder als Prediktoren für einen MOS-Ansatz verwendet.

Hochaufgelöste Satellitenbilder von XCO2 und XCH4, Teilprojekt 2: Simulationen

Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 1788: Study of Earth system dynamics with a constellation of potential field missions, Detektierbarkeit der Ozeanzirkulation im Erdmagnetfeld (OceanMag)

Die Wärmeaufnahme und der meridionale Wärmetransport der globalen Ozeanzirkulation ist ein zentraler Bestandteil des Klimasystems der Erde. Die damit einhergehenden Massentransporte finden auf Zeitskalen von Tagen bis Jahrtausenden statt. Die SWARM mission ermöglicht mit ihrer angestrebten Präzession von 0.1 nT erstmals einen direkten Blick auf diese Prozesse. Das beantragte Projekt verbessert, quantifiziert und charakterisiert die auf die Ozeanzirkulation zurückgehenden Signale im Magnetfeld der Erde. Ein Ensembleansatz wird mit einem globalen Ozeanzirkulationsmodell kombiniert um Charakteristika der strömungsinduzierten Signale zu abzuleiten. Diese Charakteristika beinhalten Wertebereich, Pattern, Frequenzen, Fehler und Korrelationen der ozeanischen Magnetfelder. Weiterhin werden die Sensitivitäten der ozeanischen Magnetfeldberechnung bezüglich der Annahmen: Salzgehalts und Temperaturabhängige Leitfähigkeit und konstante Leitfähigkeit, 2D- und 3D-Strömungsverteilung, Gleichgewichtslösung und zeitliche Variabilität der Lösung, untersucht. Die identifizierten Signale, ihre Fehler und entsprechende Korrelationen können benutzt werden, die SWARM-Messungen vom ozeanischen Signalanteil zu befreien. Dies ist insbesondere für die nicht-ozeanischen Projekte innerhalb des SPP wichtig, da die integralen SWARM-Messungen nur Informationen über einzelne Erdsubsysteme liefern können, wenn alle anderen Signalbeiträge und ihre Fehler entweder genau bekannt oder zumindest gut charakterisiert sind. Im Hinblick auf ein zukünftige Datenassimilation der Magnetfeldmessungen mit Ozeanmodellen, wird das beantragte Projekt untersuchen, welche ozeanischen Signale und Frequenzen aus aktuellen oder zukünftigen satellitenbasierten Magnetfeldmissionen separiert werden können. Mithilfe des Ozeanmodell-Ensembles werden robuste ozeanische Magnetfeldsignale ermittelt. Dies sind Signale, die von unsicheren Annahmen bei der Magnetfeldberrechung (z.B., durch Unsicherheiten in der Hintergrundleitfähigkeit) und dem Ozeanmodell (z.B. durch Unsicherheiten im Anfangszustand und dem Modellantrieb) wenig beeinflusst werden. Im Anschluss an die Identifizierung werden die robusten Signale mit den Signalen der nichtozeanischen Erdsubsysteme und den SWARM-Messunsicherheiten abgeglichen. Dieser Abgleich wird den gesamten Informationsgewinn des DynamicEarth Schwerpunktprogramms nutzen.
