Gridded Level 3 cloud top pressure derived from Metop/GOME observations. Cloud physical properties (cloud fraction, cloud top height, cloud optical thickness) are derived from GOME/GOME-2 observations using the OCRA (Optical Cloud Recognition Algorithm) and ROCINN (Retrieval of Cloud Information using Neural Networks). For more details please refer to relevant peer-review papers listed on the GOME and GOME-2 documentation pages: https://atmos.eoc.dlr.de/app/docs/ 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).
Kontinuierliche Messung des bodennahen Ozons in verschiedenen Hoehen ueber Grund (bis zu 30 m). Bestimmung der Jahres-, Monat- und Tagesgaenge. Erforschung des Zusammenhangs mit meterologischen Groessen. Untersuchung der Ursachen gefundener kurzzeitiger Extremwerte (bis 500 nb) des natuerlichen Ozons. Untersuchung der Zusammenhaenge zwischen bodennahem Ozon und anthropogenen Spurengasen (z.B. SO2).
In diesem Projekt sollen zeitlich hoch aufgelöste Spurengasmessungen und Messungen der Größenspektren der Aerosolpartikel an einem Verkehrsstandort zu einer deutlichen Weiterentwicklung unseres Verständnisses der Dynamik der Konzentrationen von Luftschadstoffen im städtischen Umfeld sowie der Emissionen aus dem Straßenverkehr beitragen. Neue, schnelle Techniken sollen das bereits gut entwickelte Grundlagenwissen zu Emissionsverhältnissen NO / NO2 / NOx einzelner Fahrzeuge und Fahrzeuggruppen entwickeln, den Einfluss auf die Ozonchemie und die Interaktion mit dem vorhandenen Ozon studieren, Emissionsverhältnisse NH3 / CO2 und NOx / CO2 unter realen Bedingungen quantifizieren, und vor allem die Emissionen der Aerosopartikel in einem weiten Größenspektrum (einige nm bis über 1 mym Durchmesser) detailliert quantifizieren. Dies bedeutet und ermöglicht eine neuartige Analyse der Emissionen von Partikeln im echten Straßenverkehr. Die vorgeschlagenen Konzepte und Messungen ergänzen sich mit anderen modernen Konzepten der Analyse von Luftverschmutzung und Emissionen wie z.B. multi-Sensoren-Anwendungen, Einsatz mobiler Plattformen, oder Eddy-Kovarianz. Hier wird Grundlagenforschung vorgeschlagen, die in Ergänzung mit anderen Anwendungen und Konzepten einschließlich Modellierung zu einer deutlichen Verbesserung unseres Verständnisses der städtischen Umwelt führen wird. Das Herzstück der experimentellen Forschung ist eine 18-monatige Messreihe am Straßenrand, die allerdings von zwei Intensivmesskampagnen (IOPs) um Kenntnisse zur räumlichen Representativität und zur chemischen Zusammensetzung der Partikel im Größenspektrum ergänzt werden.
In July 2023 a cruise with RV Mya_II took place to investigate if the dredging of sand off Sylt influences the atmospheric and dissolved methane concentrations. With the ship's system water temperature and salinity was recoreded, as well as the wind speed. Atmospheric concentrations were measured with a LICOR trace gas analyzer. Dissolved methane was determined via a degassing system connected to a greenhouse gas analyzer as online measurements. Theses relative concentrations were converted to concentrations with water samples analyzed with gas chromatography.
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 displays the Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) near surface concentration for Germany and neighboring countries as derived from the POLYPHEMUS/DLR air quality model. Surface NO2 is mainly generated by anthropogenic sources, e.g. transport and industry. POLYPHEMUS/DLR is a state-of-the-art air quality model taking into consideration - meteorological conditions, - photochemistry, - anthropogenic and natural (biogenic) emissions, - TROPOMI NO2 observations for data assimilation. This Level 4 air quality product (surface NO2 at 15:00 UTC) is based on innovative algorithms, processors, data assimilation schemes and operational processing and dissemination chain developed in the framework of the INPULS project. The DLR project INPULS 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.
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.
