This product displays the Cloud Optical Thickness (COT) around the globe. Clouds play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system and have significant effects on trace gas retrievals. The cloud optical thickness is retrieved from the O2-A band using the ROCINN algorithm. The TROPOMI instrument aboard the SENTINEL-5P space craft is a nadir-viewing, imaging spectrometer covering wavelength bands between the ultraviolet and the shortwave infra-red. TROPOMI's purpose is to measure atmospheric properties and constituents. It is contributing to monitoring air quality and providing critical information to services and decision makers. The instrument uses passive remote sensing techniques by measuring the Top Of Atmosphere (TOA) 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, allowing operational retrieval of the following trace gas constituents: Ozone (O3), Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Formaldehyde (HCHO), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Methane (CH4). Within the INPULS project, innovative algorithms and processors for the generation of Level 3 and Level 4 products, improved data discovery and access technologies as well as server-side analytics for the users are developed.
Gridded Level 3 NO2 total (NO2 tropospheric) 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. In the troposphere as well as in the stratosphere NO2 plays an important role in the ozone chemistry. 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).

Neue Studien zeigen, dass die Emissionen eines der wichtigsten Fluochlorkohlenwasserstoffe (FCKWs), des CFC--11, seit 2012 wieder ansteigen, was eine ernste Bedrohung für die Ozonschicht bedeutet. Allerdings sind die Abschätzungen der FCKW Emissionen mit großen Unsicherheiten behaftet. Die größte Unsicherheit stammt von Änderungen der stratosphärischen Zirkulation und deren Darstellung in derzeitigen atmosphärischen Modellen und Reanalysen. Die Methodiken, um diese Zirkulationsänderungen in Modellen besser einzuschränken, sind unzureichend.Ziel des Projekts ist es den Einfluß von Jahr-zu-Jahr Variabilität und dekadischen Änderungen im stratosphärischen Transport auf troposphärische Änderungen langlebiger Spurenstoffe, mit Fokus auf FCKWs, besser zu verstehen. Dazu werden neue Methodiken entwickelt und verbessert, um das stratosphärische Altersspektrum abzuleiten, die Verteilung der Transportzeit durch die Stratosphäre. In einem ersten Schritt wird die Methoden-Evaluierung im Modell durchgeführt. Drei verschiedene Methodiken zur Berechnung des Altersspektrums aus Mischungsverhältnissen chemischer Spezies werden verglichen. Diese Methodiken basieren auf (i) einer inversen Gauss-Funktions Parametrisierung, (ii) einer verbesserten Parametrisierung, und (iii) einer direkten Inversions-Methode. Für einen "proof of concept" werden die Resultate aller drei Methoden mit Altersspektren aus dem Lagrangeschen Atmosphären-Modell CLaMS verglichen, die im Modell exakt mit einer Pultracer-Methode berechnet werden. Im zweiten Schritt werden die Methodiken angewendet auf hochaufgelöste in-situ Spurengas-Messdaten aus Luftproben von Flugzeug-Messungen und von neuesten AirCore Messungen. Die Kombination von neuartigen Simulations- und Berechnungs-Methoden mit neuesten Messdaten zur Bestimmung des stratosphärischen Altersspektrums wird zu bisher nicht dagewesenen Einschränkungen des stratosphärischen Transports in Modellen führen. Durch Vergleich der Modell-Altersspektren aus Simulationen die mit verschiedenen meteorologischen Reanalysen angetrieben wurden, einschließlich der neuesten ERA5 Reanalyse und älterer Produkte (ERA-Interim, MERRA-2, JRA-55), soll die Robustheit der Modell-Darstellung stratosphärischer Transportänderungen abgeschätzt werden. Schließlich werden die Variabilitäten im stratosphärischen Transport untersucht und quantifiziert, sowie die Effekte dieser Variabilität auf die Spurengaszusammensetzung der unteren Stratosphäre und auf troposphärische Trends. Die aus dem Projekt resultierenden verbesserten Methodiken zur Abschätzung troposphärischer Spurenstoff-Budgets sollen der wissenschaftlichen Community zugänglich gemacht werden, und werden einen wichtigen Schritt darstellen hin zu einer verbesserten Berechnung von Emissionen langlebiger ozonzerstörender Substanzen und Treibhausgase.
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.

Gridded Level 3 ozone column densities derived from the Metop/GOME-2-instruments. In the stratosphere – where the majority of the total O3 amount is located - O3 plays an vital role for the UV protection. In the troposphere O3 is generated by chemical processes caused by natural and anthropogenic emission of NO2 and volatile organic components (VOCs) (e.g. HCHO). Direct exposure to O3 is harmfull for humans and our environment. The total O3 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the uv wavelength region 325-335nm [using the DOAS method]. To determine the AMF an iterative process is applied, the assumed profile depends on the latitude, month, but also on the total column.
