METOP GOME-2 - Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) - Global

Gridded Level 3 SO2 total column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. Volcanoes are the largest soures of SO2 in the atmosphere, depending on the erruption the Sulfurous compounds can be injected into stratosphere but in most cases it stays within the troposphere. Another important source is the coal combustion. Desulfurisation facilities within the power stations have reduced the sulfur emissions around the globe. In the stratosphere sulfur is a key component for building up aerosols, which reflect parts of the solar irradiation. The total SO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the ultraviolet wavelength region [using the DOAS method]. Depending on the plume SO2 can be a very strong absorber, because of that the ODAS retrieval might have some smaller issues, they can be reduced by choosing different wavelenght ranges depending on the signal. We apply three different fitting windows between 310 and 360nm. For the AMF, we assume a plumeheight of 6 km altitude. 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).

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.

Analyse und Nowcasting von konvektiven Systemen mit VERA

Die genaue Vorhersage von Gewittern ist sowohl für die Wissenschaft als auch für die Öffentlichkeit ein wichtiges Anliegen, da konvektive Ereignisse im Sommer zu den größten Naturgefahren in unseren Breiten gehören. Um die Entstehungsprozesse von Gewittern genauer zu verstehen, ist eine Untersuchung von Konvektion auf einer hoch auflösenden Skala nötig. Nur damit kann man den heutigen Anforderungen an die Vorhersage (in Bezug auf Zeit, Raum und Intensität) gerecht werden. Zu diesem Zweck wird im nächsten Jahr im Rahmen von zwei internationalen Projekten (COPS und MAP D-PHASE) im Süden von Deutschland eine groß angelegte Messkampagne durchgeführt. Das Hauptziel dieser Kampagne ist die Erstellung eines hochwertigen Datensatzes für die Untersuchung konvektiver Prozesse, von der Auslösung von Konvektion über die Wolken- und Niederschlagsbildung bis hin zur Untersuchung von Wolkenchemie und Hydrometeoren. Damit sollen meteorologische (und hydrologische) Vorhersagen für konvektive Ereignisse verbessert werden. Sowohl bei COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study; Teil des Priority Program SSP 1167 der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft) als auch bei MAP D-PHASE (Mesoscale Alpine Program Demonstration of Probabilistic Hydrological and Atmospheric Simulation of flood Events in the Alpine region, ein von der Welt-Meteorologischen Organisation gefördertes Projekt) ist das Institut für Meteorologie und Geophysik in der Planungsphase vertreten. Im Rahmen des vorgeschlagenen Projektes soll die Messkampagne durch den Einsatz eines eigenen Meso-Messnetzes und Personal unterstützt werden, womit ein wichtiger Beitrag zu dem einmaligen Datensatz, der durch den Einsatz verschiedenster Messsysteme (Bodenstationen, Dopplerradar, Lidar, Satelliten, Flugzeuge, Radiosonden, ...) zu Stande kommt, geleistet wird. Mit Hilfe der Daten aus der Feldkampagne soll im Zuge des Projektes das Analyseverfahren VERA, das im Rahmen von FWF-Projekten am Institut entwickelt worden ist, einerseits für das Nowcasting von Gewittern, andererseits zur genaueren Niederschlagsanalyse, weiterentwickelt werden. Für beide Entwicklungsschritte wird dem Fingerprint-Ansatz, mit dem Zusatzinformation für das Downscaling meteorologischer Felder in die VERA-Analyse implementiert werden kann, eine wichtige Rolle zukommen. Dieser Ansatz wird für 3 Dimensionen, mehrere Fingerprints und höhere Auflösungen (bis 1km Gitterdistanz) erweitert. Mittels des Datensatzes werden neue Fingerprints entwickelt, die dazu beitragen werden, die Analysegenauigkeit für den Niederschlag und die Vorhersagbarkeit von Gewittern in Echtzeit mit Routinedaten zu verbessern. Das fertig entwickelte Analyseverfahren soll dann in einem weiteren Schritt zur Echtzeit-Validierung von hoch auflösenden Wettermodellen verwendet werden, wobei ein neuer Ansatz des Vergleiches zum Tragen kommt. Auch dadurch wird ein Beitrag zur besseren Vorhersagbarkeit von Gewittern geleistet.

Arctic PASSION - Polar Monthly Mean Ice Surface Temperature (AP-MMIST) for the time period 1982 to 2024

The Arctic PASSION Polar Monthly Mean IST data set (AP-MMIST) is a combined surface temperature product covering open ocean, marginal ice zone and closed sea ice areas, represented by Sea Surface Temperatures (SST), Marginal Ice Zone Temperatures (MIZT) and sea Ice Surface Temperatures (IST). Beside ocean and sea ice the data set also includes surface temperatures from the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets. AP-MMIST has been jointly developed and produced by Arctic PASSION WP-1 and the Sea Ice Thematic Assembly Centre (Sea Ice TAC) under the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S - service contract: 2022/C3S2_312b_MOi_SC1). The AP-MMIST is a monthly averaged temperature product based on the C3S daily IST CDR and ICDR level 3 data. The daily mean C3S IST data set is a resampled and averaged daily mean IST product using Global Area Coverage - Advanced Very High-Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) IST level 2 data as input. The level 2 and 3 CDR and ICDR data records are described in Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Document (Eastwood et al., 2023). The surface temperature retrieval algorithm used to produce the basic level 2 product is a traditional split window algorithm using two Thermal InfraRed (TIR) channels to compensate for atmosphere and angular emissivity dependency. This is described in the Algorithm Theoretical Baseline Document (Eastwood et al., 2023). The level 1 TIR input data set is the full data record from the AVHRR on-board NOAA satellite platforms since 1982, as well as AVHRR records on-board Metop satellites since 2006. The product output format is NetCDF with standard attributes, following CF convention to the degree possible. The monthly data are divided into 2 monthly files, one for each hemisphere, SH and NH.

Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) air-sea fluxes, version 2, 2005-2015

Along ship track bulk turbulent heat and momentum fluxes derived using one-minute interval data collected by the Shipboard Automated Meteorological and Oceanographic System (SAMOS) initiative. The fluxes are provided as three products derived using three widely accepted air-sea flux algorithms (Smith 1988, COARE 3.5, and a 2013 update of Bourassa 2006). Datasets are organized by ship and flux algorithm. The dataset uses SAMOS data from 19 research vessels with observations spanning 2005-2015. Data include heat and momentum fluxes, state variables adjusted to 10 meters, and multiple inputs and outputs from the flux algorithms. These data have wide use for satellite product and model evaluation; air-sea interaction, marine biology, chemistry and geoscience research activities; climate science, and marine geoinformatics. The data are concentrated in the oceans around North America, but select data are available from most ocean basins. Fluxes are derived from along cruise track navigational, meteorological, and oceanographic observations from 19 research vessels. Fluxes are derived at one-minute intervals (the same as the source observations) and take advantage of extensive quality control flags on the source SAMOS data. Additional QC flags are applied to the derived fluxes, height adjusted state variables, and other outputs of the flux algorithms. All data are provided in CF and ACDD compliant netCDF files, with extensive metadata. The uncompressed data volume is ca. 5 GB.
