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. 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).
Zielsetzung: Bestimmung des anthropogenen Einflusses auf den Kreislauf verschiedener Spurengase und Abschaetzung der dadurch verursachten Aenderungen der Umwelt (Atmosphaere).

Ziel des Projektes ist die Untersuchung der chemischen Zusammensetzung von Abgasfahnen großer urbaner Flächenquellen (Millionenstädte) in Europa und Asien mittels eines neuartigen 2D bzw. 3D DOAS-Fernerkundungsinstruments. Die Arbeiten sind Teil der für das deutsche Forschungsflugzeug HALO geplanten EMerGe Mission, eine zusätzliche Beteiligung an der CAFE Mission wird gegenwärtig noch untersucht. Flugzeuggebundene Beobachtungen des HAIDI-Instruments ermöglichen die Messungen von Schlüsselparametern der von Flächenquellen ausgehenden Fahnen, wie z.B. der Spurengase NO2, HCHO, SO2, CHOCHO, BrO, IO, OClO, H2O, O4 und O3 sowie von optischen Eigenschaften des Aerosols. Die räumliche Auflösung der resultierenden 2D-Karten der Spurenstoffverteilungen ist besser als 100m, die Breite des Abtaststreifens etwa 10 km, so dass in kurzer Zeit eine große Fläche erfasst wird. Tomographischen Methoden ermöglicht die Rekonstruktion von 3D-Bildern, die auch die Vertikalverteilung von Spurengasen beinhalten. Somit quantifiziert HAIDI die wichtigsten Spezies zur Analyse der chemischen Zusammensetzung und Umwandlung in der Abluft von Flächenquellen. Unsere Studien zielen auf die Untersuchung topographischer und meteorologischer Einflüsse auf Ausdehnung, Verteilung und Ausbreitung derartiger Abgasfahnen. Besonderes Augenmerk liegt dabei auf Emission, Umwandlung und Abbau der Schlüsselkomponente NO2. Die chemische Evolution von Spurengasen und des Aerosols, die sich auch unseren Daten zusammen mit weiteren auf HALO gemessenen Verbindungen ergibt, ermöglicht dann die Beantwortung von Fragen bezüglich der lokalen, regionalen und globalen Auswirkungen von großflächigen Emissionen. Insbesondere dienen die Bestimmungen der optischen Parameter des Aerosols, wie sie von HAIDI vorgenommen wird, auch der Quantifizierung des Einflusses solcher Fahnen auf den Strahlungshaushalt. Die genannten Ergebnisse dienen des Weiteren zur Validierung und Verbesserung von Modellen im Rahmen des EMerGe Projekts sowie zur Validierung von Satellitendaten. Damit wird erstmals ein System operationell, das mit einer Kombination von drei abbildenden Spektrometern 3D-Informationen über Spurengasverteilungen und Aerosol liefern kann. Im Rahmen des Projektes werden - basierend auf unseren Vorarbeiten - die notwendigen tomographischen Algorithmen entwickelt. Da dies der erstmalige Betrieb von HAIDI auf HALO ist muss das Instrument im Rahmen des Projektes auch zugelassen und ggf. adaptiert werden.
