Description: Das Projekt "STREAMER: Entwicklung, Installierung- und Validierung eines satellitenbasierten europaeischen Beobachtungssystems fuer Ozon und UV Belastung" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V. - Deutsches Fernerkundungsdatenzentrum durchgeführt. In recent years it has become evident that the distribution of ozone is strongly characterized by small scale structures both in time and space. This extraordinary variability is mostly due to the formation of finger-like structures ('streamers') reaching out from equatorial regions towards higher latitudes and obviously carrying ozone-low air towards densely populated areas such as Europe. As a consequence, strong modulations in the intensity of ground-level UV-B radiation is observed. Today, there is broad agreement that high UV dosages can cause considerable biological damage, to people, crops and animals. The objective of STREAMER (Small Scale Structure Early Warning and Monitoring in Atmospheric Ozone and Related Exposure to UV-B Radiation) is the development, installation and validation of an operational information and early warning system for providing daily nowcast and forecast of ozone vertical profiles, total column ozone and UV ground level intensity. Focus is on smaller scale structures such as streamers and mini-holes approaching Europe. STREAMER uses an end-to-end philosophy: it starts with the processing of the satellite's bits and bytes, continues with their interpretation into meaningful information and finally ends up with the provision of a comfortable on-line information system that allows customers easy access to exactly the kind of information they require. For the realization of the project's objectives a consortium was established within the 4th Framework Programme of the European Commission: German Aerospace Center (coordination), German Weather Service, Federal Environment Agency Austria, German Federal Environment Agency, Aristotle University Thessaloniki (Greece), Instituto Nacional de Technica Aerospatial (Spain), Federal Office for Radiation Protection (Germany). Customer oriented information transfer is realized by a comfortable, operational and easy-to-use on-line WWW-GIS system (World Wide Web - Geographical Information System). For more depth in data use, an Expert GIS system is being developed, enabling extensive statistical analysis.
