Spatial distribution of aerosol and meteorological parameters measured during flight SourceFFR_ALADINA_20241016_10 with the UAS ALADINA near Frankfurt airport in October 2024

Exposure to ultrafine aerosol particles (UFPs) can cause adverse effects on human health, local environment and climate. Air traffic is associated with the emission of high numbers of UFPs, which results in increased UFP number concentrations close to airports. So far, the spatial distribution and variability of UFPs is poorly understood in the atmospheric boundary layer. The uncrewed aerial system (UAS) ALADINA (Application of Lightweight Aircraft for Detecting In-situ Aerosols, e.g. Altstädter et al., 2015) was operated close to the largest airport in Germany at Frankfurt airport (FRA) between 11 and 19 October 2024. The dataset provides airborne in-situ observations of the spatial distribution of aerosol particle number concentration with different sizes and meteorological parameters of temperature, humidity, wind, surface temperature and short-wave irradiance, as well as accurate position and orientation of ALADINA. Data are available from 26 measurement flights, comprising a number of 122 vertical profiles between ground and a maximum altitude of 750 m above mean sea level (ASL) and about 70 horizontal legs at different but constant altitude, e.g. in 100 m altitude intervals. Details about the ALADINA measurements will be provided in a publication (Harm-Altstädter et al., in prep.) soon.

Measurements and simulation of inland ship emissions at the Dortmund-Ems canal, Germany

This dataset provides air quality data from parallel on-board and onshore measurements of ship exhaust emissions as well as data from a simulation (with the large-eddy model PALM) at the Dortmund-Ems canal in Germany. Measurement data involves various pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2), carbon dioxde (CO2) and particulate matter (particle number concentration, mass concentration, size distribution, ultrafine particles, black carbon concentration). The dataset is related to the publication "Connecting inland ship emissions from on-board sampling, onshore measurements and large-eddy simulations".

REIN-project: Air quality data from gas and particle sensors at the river Rhine in Koblenz, Germany

This dataset provides data from various air quality sensors at a floating platform of the Federal Institute of Hydrology at the river bank of the Rhine in Koblenz, Germany. The data was collected as part of the mFUND project "REIN" which investigated the suitability of low-cost sensors for the determination of ship emissions with high spatial and temporal resolution. Measurement data involves various pollutants, including nitrogen oxides (NO, NO2), carbon dioxde (CO2) and particulate matter (particle number concentration, mass concentration, size distribution, ultrafine particles, black carbon concentration). Averaged data is provided at 1 minute and 1 hour temporal resolution and covers both low-cost and standard instruments. The dataset is related to the publication "Applicability of compact low- and mid-cost sensors to monitor air pollutant emissions from in-land ships".

Mikroplastik im Rhein

Greenpeace hat den Rhein mehrmals auf primäre Mikroplastikpartikel mit dem Schwerpunkt Microbeads untersucht und entsprechende Berichte zu den Ergebnissen veröffentlicht. Bei einer ersten Untersuchung im Jahr 2019 wurden 22 Proben zwischen Duisburg und Basel genommen und bis zu 7,2 Partikel pro Kubikmeter bei Köln-Stammheim gefunden. Ein Jahr später war Greenpeace für Untersuchungen wieder auf dem Rhein, dieses Mal zwischen Duisburg und Monheim. Während der Schiffstour wurden 44 Proben genommen, wobei die höchste Konzentration an Mikroplastikpartikeln bei 3,3 Partikeln pro Kubikmeter (Höhe Dormagen) lag. Eine Besonderheit stellten stündliche Probenahmen über 24-Stunden dar, die Greenpeace jeweils stromaufwärts und stromabwärts am Chempark Dormagen und am Chempark Krefeld-Uerdingen durchführte. Die Ergebnisse bestätigten, dass kontinuierlich Mikroplastikpartikel den Rhein stromabwärts gelangen. Die Mikroplastik-Konzentration war nachts niedriger als tagsüber. Darüber hinaus hat Greenpeace Mikroplastikpartikel in Sedimentproben vom Flussufer nachgewiesen. Greenpeace hat im Jahr 2021 weitere Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Die höchste Konzentration an Mikroplastikpartikeln lag bei 1,1 Partikeln pro Kubikmeter in einer Probe, die bei Dormagen entnommen wurde. Letztlich konnte Greenpeace in allen Wasserproben, die während der Schiffstouren genommen wurde, primäres Mikroplastik nachweisen.  Die Greenpeace-Expert:innen Manfred Santen und Daniela von Schaper haben das Projekt im Jahr 2020 geleitet.

Vertikaler turbulenter Aerosolpartikeltransport über offenem Wasser und Eis in der zentralen Arktis während des Sommers - Aerosolpartikelquellen und -umwandlung in der arktischen marinen Grenzschicht

In der Arktis ist aktuell die stärkste Temperaturerhöhung im Zuge des Klimawandels zu beobachten. Diese Tatsache beruht auf einer komplexen Kette von Prozessen und Rückkopplungen, in denen Aerosolpartikel durch ihren Einfluss auf Strahlungsbilanz und Wolkenbildung eine wesentliche Rolle spielen. Um die Auswirkungen der sich ändernden Eisbedeckung abschätzen zu können, müssen die Wechselwirkungen zwischen Ozean sowie Eis und der Atmosphäre besser verstanden werden. Grundsätzlich mangelt es besonders im Bereich des arktischen Ozeans an atmosphärischen Messungen, die zum Verständnis der Prozesse aber auch zur Vorhersage der zu erwartenden Änderungen dringend benötigt werden. Austauschprozesse zwischen Ozean/Eis und Atmosphäre sind in diesen Regionen ebenfalls wenig untersucht. Im Rahmen dieses Projektes sollen mithilfe der RV Polarstern vertikale Austauschprozesse oberhalb von Wasser und Eis im Detail betrachtet werden und damit verbundene Quellen für Aerosolpartikel lokalisiert werden. Dazu ist eine Reihe von kontinuierlichen Aerosolmessungen an Bord des Schiffes geplant, die die Anzahlgrößenverteilungen, optische Parameter (Streuung, Absorption), das Mischungsverhältnis von Partikeln, die schwarzen Kohlenstoff (BC) enthalten, die Konzentration von eisbildenden Partikeln (INP) sowie die chemische Zusammensetzung der Aerosolpartikel umfassen. Weiterhin werden in den im Sommer häufig auftretenden Nebelphasen Nebelwasserproben gesammelt, sowie während der gesamten Kampagne täglich Wasserproben aus dem Ozean entnommen. Diese Proben werden nach der Kampagne auf die Konzentration von INP und BC untersucht. Weiterhin sollen erstmals mit Laser-Inkandeszenz Methoden die BC-Konzentrationen sowohl im luftgetragenen Aerosol als auch in Wasserproben gemessen werden. Zur Vorbereitung der Wasserproben mit hoher Salinität werden neuartige Methoden angewandt. Durch diese Kombination der parallelen Untersuchung von Bestandteilen in Luft und Wasser sollen Transport- und Austauschprozesse dieser Aerosolpartikel quantifiziert werden. Während langsamer Fahrt des Schiffes oder Drift mit dem Eis wird Messtechnik zur Bestimmung von vertikalen Partikelflüssen am vorderen Ausleger des Schiffes eingesetzt. Damit werden Zeitreihen des Windvektors und der Partikelkonzentration erfasst, mit deren Hilfe im Anschluss der vertikale, turbulente Partikelfluss über unterschiedlichen Oberflächen durch die Eddy Kovarianz Methode bestimmt werden soll. Kombiniert mit diesen Messungen wird die Konzentration der INP erfasst, um deren Ursprung und Quellen lokalisieren zu können. Ein weiteres Messsystem, das aus einer eindimensionalen Windmessung und einem Partikelzähler besteht, wird am Kranhaken des vorderen Auslegers befestigt und bestimmt Vertikalprofile der Partikelkonzentration, aus denen ebenfalls eine Abschätzung des Vertikalflusses von Partikeln möglich ist. Diese Methoden sind erprobt und etabliert, wurden nur bisher noch nie in dieser Form über dem arktischen Ozean angewendet.
