This product is based on Vaisala RS92 radiosonde measurements of temperature, humidity, wind and pressure that have been processed following the requirements of the GCOS Reference Upper Air Network (GRUAN) that were described in Immler et al. [2010]. The GRUAN data product file comply to the requirements of GRUAN in particular by providing a full uncertainty analysis. The uncertainty is calculated according to the recommendations of the “Guide for expressing uncertainty in measurement” [GUM2008]. The total uncertainty is assessed from estimates of the calibration uncertainty, the uncertainty of corrections and statistical standard deviations. Corrections are applied such that the data is bias free according to current knowledge.
Das Projekt "Effects of water content, input of roots and dissolved organic matter and spatial inaccessibility on C turnover & determination of the spatial variability of subsoil properties" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Universität Kassel, Lehr- und Forschungsgebiet Umwelt- und Lebensmittelwissenschaften, Fachgebiet Umweltchemie.It is well established that reduced supply of fresh organic matter, interactions of organic matter with mineral phases and spatial inaccessibility affect C stocks in subsoils. However, quantitative information required for a better understanding of the contribution of each of the different processes to C sequestration in subsoils and for improvements of subsoil C models is scarce. The same is true for the main controlling factors of the decomposition rates of soil organic matter in subsoils. Moreover, information on spatial variabilities of different properties in the subsoil is rare. The few studies available which couple near and middle infrared spectroscopy (NIRS/MIRS) with geostatistical approaches indicate a potential for the creation of spatial maps which may show hot spots with increased biological activities in the soil profile and their effects on the distribution of C contents. Objectives are (i) to determine the mean residence time of subsoil C in different fractions by applying fractionation procedures in combination with 14C measurements; (ii) to study the effects of water content, input of 13C-labelled roots and dissolved organic matter and spatial inaccessibility on C turnover in an automatic microcosm system; (iii) to determine general soil properties and soil biological and chemical characteristics using NIRS and MIRS, and (iv) to extrapolate the measured and estimated soil properties to the vertical profiles by using different spatial interpolation techniques. For the NIRS/MIRS applications, sample pretreatment (air-dried vs. freeze-dried samples) and calibration procedures (a modified partial least square (MPLS) approach vs. a genetic algorithm coupled with MPLS or PLS) will be optimized. We hypothesize that the combined application of chemical fractionation in combination with 14C measurements and the results of the incubation experiments will give the pool sizes of passive, intermediate, labile and very labile C and N and the mean residence times of labile and very labile C and N. These results will make it possible to initialize the new quantitative model to be developed by subproject PC. Additionally, we hypothesize that the sample pretreatment 'freeze-drying' will be more useful for the estimation of soil biological characteristics than air-drying. The GA-MPLS and GA-PLS approaches are expected to give better estimates of the soil characteristics than the MPLS and PLS approaches. The spatial maps for the different subsoil characteristics in combination with the spatial maps of temperature and water contents will presumably enable us to explain the spatial heterogeneity of C contents.
Das Projekt "Schwerpunktprogramm (SPP) 527: Bereich Infrastruktur - Integrated Ocean Drilling Program/Ocean Drilling Program (IODP/ODP), Teilprojekt: Magma-Sediment Interaktionen und Zeitskalen diesbezüglicher Hydrothermalsysteme - Bedeutung für den globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf und die Tiefe Biosphäre" wird/wurde gefördert durch: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft. Es wird/wurde ausgeführt durch: Helmholtz-Zentrum für Ozeanforschung Kiel (GEOMAR).Es ist unklar, wie lange hydrothermale Systeme aktiv sein können, die in Verbindung mit flachen Sill-Intrusionen stehen. Ein besseres Verständnis dieser Systeme ist jedoch wichtig, um die Rolle von Riftmagmatismus im globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf, den die potenzielle Bedeutung für die Tiefe Biosphäre eruieren zu können. Von entschiedender Relevanz ist dabei die Vermengung von Magma und nassem Sediment and der Schnittstelle der Intrusion. In den vorgeschlagenen Arbeiten sollen neue petrophysikalische Daten von IODP Expedition 385 herangezogen werden, um die Konsequenzen dieser Wechselwirkungen für den Wärmetransport mit Hilfe von Modellrechnungen erstmals zu quantifizieren. Der Antragsteller hat neuartige Computerprogramme entwickelt, mit denen die hydrothermale Zirkulation in Verbindung mit Sill-Intrusionen unter Berücksichtigung der daran gekoppelten Änderungen von Permeabilität und Porosität in den intrudierten Sedimente simuliert werden önnen. Durch seine Funktion als Leiter der 'physical properties' Gruppe bei IODP Expedition 385 ist er herausragend gut positioniert, die Kerndaten in die vorgeschlagenen Modellierungen einfließen zu lassen. The beantragten Arbeiten werden neuartige Einblicke in die physikalischen und thermischen Auswirkungen von Sill-Intrusionen in die nassen und unverfestigten Sedimente des Guaymas-Beckens liefern. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Sedimentbecken, in denen tiefe Intrusionen von großen Magmenmengen die Freisetzung großer Gasmengen ausgelöst hat, wird erwartet, dass die flachen Intrusionen des Guaymas-Beckens ganz andere Auswirkungen auf die Reaktionen am Intrusionskontakt und der Flußdynamik des Kohlenstoffs haben wird. Geochemische Analysen an den IODP-Kernen werden Basisdaten für die thermische Entwicklung in den Sedimenten liefern, gegen die die Modelle kalibriert werden können. Durch die Kopplung dieser Messwerte mit einem durch die Modellierung gesteigerten Prozessverständnis werden plausible Szenarien für den Ablauf und die Zeitdauer der hydrothermalen Veränderungen entwickelt werden können. Die Untersuchungen sollen sich auf Bohrsites konzentrieren, die auf unterschiedliche Intrusions- und Versenkungsgeschichten hinweisen, und das aktive Hydrothermalfeld an der Ostflanke des nördlichen Trogs des Guaymas-Beckens einschließen. Das eigens entwickelte thermo-mechanische Computerprogramm erlaubt die Berechnung von 2D-Zeitreihen der Temperaturverteilung in den Sedimenten. Diese Ergebnisse sind von entscheidender Wichtigkeit für Untersuchungen der Tiefen Bioshäre - ein wesentliches Ziel der Expedition. Damit kommt dem vorgeschlagenen Projekt eine zentrale Rolle für die erfolgreiche Durchführung einer Vielzahl anderer Postcruise-Arbeiten zu. Die extreme Bandbreite potenzieller Wechselwirkungen zwischen magmatischen Intrusionen, hydrothermaler Zirkulation und biologischen Vorgängen und deren Konsequenzen für das Cycling von Kohlenstoff in diesen Systemen lassen sich nur durch fundierte Modellrechungen eruieren.
Raw data acquired by a thermosalinograph (SBE21, SeaBird GmbH) on board RV HEINCKE were processed to receive a calibrated and validated data set of seawater temperature and salinity. Data were downloaded from DAVIS SHIP data base (https://dship.awi.de) with a resolution of 1 sec. The SBE21 was equipped with an additional external temperature sensor (SBE38, Sea-Bird GmbH). Raw data are converted to temperature and conductivity values using the calibration coefficients from the calibration before deployment. However, data can only be finally processed after replacement and renewed calibration because correction values for the sensor drift can only be obtained by the post cruise calibration. The thermosalinograph on board RV HEINCKE is exchanged about once a year and calibration procedures are conducted after every exchange. Salinity was calculated according to the instructions from the Practical Salinity Scale PSS-78 using the obtained internal temperature and conductivity data. Processed data are provided as 1min means of salinity and seawater temperature aligned with position data taken from master track of the respective cruise. Quality flags are appended according to the SeaDataNet Data Quality Control Procedures (version from May 2010).
With the introduction of mobile mapping technologies, geomonitoring has become increasingly efficient and automated. The integration of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) and robotics has effectively addressed the challenges posed by many mapping or monitoring technologies, such as GNSS and unmanned aerial vehicles, which fail to work in underground environments. However, the complexity of underground environments, the high cost of research in this area, and the limited availability of experimental sites have hindered the progress of relevant research in the field of SLAM-based underground geomonitoring.
In response, we present SubSurfaceGeoRobo, a dataset specifically focused on underground environments with unique characteristics of subsurface settings, such as extremely narrow passages, high humidity, standing water, reflective surfaces, uneven illumination, dusty conditions, complex geometry, and texture less areas. This aims to provide researchers with a free platform to develop, test, and train their methods, ultimately promoting the advancement of SLAM, navigation, and SLAM-based geomonitoring in underground environments.
SubSurfaceGeoRobo was collected in September 2024 in the Freiberg silver mine in Germany using an unmanned ground vehicle equipped with a multi-sensor system, including radars, 3D LiDAR, depth and RGB cameras, IMU, and 2D laser scanners. Data from all sensors are stored as bag files, allowing researchers to replay the collected data and export it into the desired format according to their needs. To ensure the accuracy and usability of the dataset, as well as the effective fusion of sensors, all sensors have been jointly calibrated. The calibration methods and results are included as part of this dataset. Finally, a 3D point cloud ground truth with an accuracy of less than 2 mm, captured using a RIEGL scanner, is provided as a reference standard.
Underway temperature and salinity data was collected along the cruise track with a thermosalinograph (TSG) together with a SBE38 Thermometer. Both systems worked throughout the cruise. While temperature is taken at the water inlet in about 4 m depth, salinity is estimated within the interior TSG from conductivity and interior temperature. No temperature calibration was performed. Salinity was calibrated with independent water samples taken at the water inlet. For details to all processing steps see Data Processing Report.
Raw physical oceanography data was acquired by a ship-based Seabird SBE911plus CTD-Rosette system onboard RV HEINCKE . The CTD was equipped with duplicate sensors for temperature (SBE3plus) and conductivity (SBE4) as well as one sensor for oxygen (SBE43). Additional sensors such as a WET Labs C-Star transmissometer, a WET Labs ECO-AFL fluorometer (FLRTD) and an altimeter (Teledyne Benthos PSA-916) were mounted to the CTD. The data was recorded using pre-cruise calibration coefficients. No correction, post-cruise calibration or quality control was applied. Processed profile data are available via the link below.
Conductivity-temperature-depth profiles were measured using a Seabird SBE 911plus CTD during RV HEINCKE cruise HE658. The CTD was equipped with duplicate sensors for temperature (SBE3plus), conductivity (SBE4) and oxygen (SBE43). Additional sensors such as a WET Labs C-Star transmissometer, a WET Labs ECO-AFL fluorometer and an altimeter (PSA-916 Teledyne (Benthos)) were mounted to the CTD. Temperature, conductivity and oxygen sensors are calibrated by the manufacturer once a year before being mounted in January. They are used throughout the year and no post-cruise or in-situ calibration is applied. All other sensors are calibrated irregularly. Data were connected to the station book of the specific cruise as available in the DSHIP database. Processing of the data including removal of obvious outliers followed the procedures described in CTD Processing Logbook of RV HEINCKE (hdl:10013/epic.47427). The processing report for this dataset is linked below.
