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. Currently, there are three GOME-2 instruments operating on board EUMETSAT's Meteorological Operational satellites MetOp-A, -B, and -C, launched in October 2006, September 2012, and November 2018, respectively. GOME-2 can measure a range of atmospheric trace constituents, with the emphasis on global ozone distributions. 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 level 2 products in the framework of EUMETSAT's Satellite Application Facility on Atmospheric Chemistry Monitoring (AC-SAF). GOME-2 near-real-time products are available already two hours after sensing. The operational HCHO total column products are generated using the algorithm GDP (GOME Data Processor) version 4.x integrated into the UPAS (Universal Processor for UV / VIS Atmospheric Spectrometers) processor for generating level 2 trace gas and cloud products.

Methane emissions from inland water bodies are of growing global concern since surveys revealed high emissions from tropical reservoirs and recent studies showed the potential of temperate water bodies. First preliminary studies at the River Saar measured fluxes that exceed estimates used in global budgets by one order of magnitude. In this project we will investigate the fluxes and pathways of methane from the sediment to the surface water and atmosphere at the River Saar. In a process-based approach we will indentify and quantify the relevant environmental conditions controlling the potential accumulation of dissolved methane in the water body and its release to the atmosphere. Field measurements, complemented by laboratory experiments and numerical simulations, will be conducted on spatial scales ranging from the river-basin to individual bubbles. We will further quantify the impact of dissolved methane and bubble fluxes on water quality in terms of dissolved oxygen. Special emphasize will be put on the process of bubble-turbation, i.e. bubble-mediated sediment-water fluxes. The project aims at serving as a reference study for assessing methane emissions from anthropogenically altered river systems.
Zielsetzung: Bestimmung der globalen Verteilung der oben genannten Gase in der Atmosphaere. Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Erfassung eines moeglichen Unterschiedes der Konzentration des betreffenden Gases zwischen der Troposphaere und Stratosphaere sowie zwischen den beiden Hemisphaeren. Aus den Messungen lassen sich wichtige Rueckschluesse auf moegliche Abbau- bzw. Produktionsprozesse ziehen. Methoden: Einbau von Messgeraeten in Flugzeuge und Messungen; Sammeln von Luftproben in der Stratosphaere mit Hilfe von Ballonen und Analyse im Labor; Einsatz von z.T. selbst entwickelten Messgeraeten.
Zielsetzung: Bestimmung des Einflusses der Pflanzen auf die oben angegebenen Gase. Bestimmung Abbau- bzw. Produktionsraten, die dann zur Abschaetzung des globalen Abbaus bzw. Produktion dieser Gase durch Pflanzen herangezogen werden. Methode: Messungen an freiwachsenden Pflanzen (in situ Messungen) und Laboruntersuchungen. Einsatz selbstentwickelter Messverfahren.
Problemfeld: Aufklaerung der Chemie in der verschmutzten Atmosphaere, insbesondere der Chemie der Schwefel- und Stickstoffverbindungen. Aufgabenstellung: Fragen des NOx-Abbaus in der planetaren Grenzschicht werden untersucht. Besonders wichtig ist die Messung der SO2-Radikale mittels Matrixisolation und EPR-Nachweis.
Peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN) is an important component of summer smog. It can cause eye irritation and plant damage. PAN is also a temporary reservoir for reactive intermediates involved in summer smog formation. Therefore it is essential to know the kinetics and mechanism of its formation and destruction for inclusion in models of atmospheric chemistry. PAN is formed as a secondary product following the OH radical initiated photo-oxidation of acetaldehyde, which leads to the generation of peroxyacetyl radicals. Peroxyacetyl radicals may either react with NO2 to generate PAN or with NO to form radical products and CO2. The aims of this project are: (i) to determine the branching ratio between the two reactions, (ii) to determine the rate and mechanism of the thermal decomposition of PAN analogues.

GDP 4.x performs a DOAS fit for SO2 slant column followed by an AMF / VCD computation using a single wavelength. Corrections are applied to the slant column for equatorial offset, interference of SO2 and SO2 absorption, and SZA dependence.

The operational NO2 tropospheric column products are generated using the algorithm GDP (GOME Data Processor) version 4.x for NO2 [Valks et al. (2011)] integrated into the UPAS (Universal Processor for UV / VIS Atmospheric Spectrometers) processor for generating level 2 trace gas and cloud products. The total NO2 column is retrieved from GOME solar back-scattered measurements in the visible wavelength region using the DOAS method. An additional algorithm is applied to derive the tropospheric NO2 column: after subtracting the estimated stratospheric component from the total column, the tropospheric NO2 column is determined using an air mass factor based on monthly climatological NO2 profiles from the MOZART-2 model.
