    Description: Efficient compositional models are required to simulate underground gas storage in porous formations where, for example, gas quality (such as purity) and loss of gas due to dissolution are of interest. We first extend the concept of vertical equilibrium (VE) to compositional flow, and derive a compositional VE model by vertical integration. Second, we present a hybrid model that couples the efficient compositional VE model to a compositional full‐dimensional model. Subdomains, where the compositional VE model is valid, are identified during simulation based on a VE criterion that compares the vertical profiles of relative permeability at equilibrium to the ones simulated by the full‐dimensional model. We demonstrate the applicability of the hybrid model by simulating hydrogen storage in a radially symmetric, heterogeneous porous aquifer. The hybrid model shows excellent adaptivity over space and time for different permeability values in the heterogeneous region, and compares well to the full‐dimensional model while being computationally efficient, resulting in a runtime of roughly one‐third of the full‐dimensional model. Based on the results, we assume that for larger simulation scales, the efficiency of this new model will increase even more.
    Description: Key Points: A compositional vertical equilibrium model is coupled to its full‐dimensional counterpart. A criterion is developed to adaptively identify and assign regions where the vertical equilibrium model is applicable during simulation. A test case of hydrogen storage in a heterogeneous porous aquifer demonstrates efficiency and accuracy of the hybrid model.

    Description: Warming of the North Atlantic region in climate history often was associated with massive melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet. To identify the meltwater's impacts and isolate these from internal variability and other global warming factors, we run single‐forcing simulations including small ensembles using three complex climate models differing only in their ocean components. In 200‐year‐long preindustrial climate simulations, we identify robust consequences of abruptly increasing Greenland runoff by 0.05 Sv: sea level rise of 44 ± 10 cm, subpolar North Atlantic surface cooling of 0.7°C, and a moderate AMOC decline of 1.1–2.0 Sv. The latter two emerge in under three decades—and reverse on the same timescale after the perturbation ends in year 100. The ocean translates the step‐change perturbation into a multidecadal‐to‐centennial signature in the deep overturning circulation. In all simulations, internal variability creates notable uncertainty in estimating trends, time of emergence, and duration of the response.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Enhanced melting of Greenland's glaciers is considered to be a major player in past rapid climate transitions and anticipated to soon impact ocean circulation under current global warming. Global warming triggers complex processes and feedbacks, of which greater amounts of meltwater slowing the large‐scale ocean circulation is only one. To better understand the sensitivity of the real but also the model ocean to just this meltwater, we run idealized experiments with up‐to‐date climate models, which use the same atmosphere and land but different ocean components. We find that sea level rise, cooling of the North Atlantic region, and slowing of the ocean circulation are responses common to all models while regional magnitudes of these responses differ considerably. Once we stop adding freshwater, all three models show that surface temperature and ocean circulation recover as quickly (or slowly) as they changed at the beginning of the experiment. Sea level rise is a lasting impact though.
    Description: Key Points: Sudden increase in Greenland freshwater release is turned into century scale change by deep ocean dynamics. Upper ocean responses to moderately enhanced freshwater release from Greenland reverse on the same timescale once release ceases. Ocean model formulation affects regional expressions but basin‐scale responses are robust, so is the timing on decadal to centennial scales.

    Description: Basal melting of marine‐terminating glaciers, through its impact on the forces that control the flow of the glaciers, is one of the major factors determining sea level rise in a world of global warming. Detailed quantitative understanding of dynamic and thermodynamic processes in melt‐water plumes underneath the ice‐ocean interface is essential for calculating the subglacial melt rate. The aim of this study is therefore to develop a numerical model of high spatial and process resolution to consistently reproduce the transports of heat and salt from the ambient water across the plume into the glacial ice. Based on boundary layer relations for momentum and tracers, stationary analytical solutions for the vertical structure of subglacial non‐rotational plumes are derived, including entrainment at the plume base. These solutions are used to develop and test convergent numerical formulations for the momentum and tracer fluxes across the ice‐ocean interface. After implementation of these formulations into a water‐column model coupled to a second‐moment turbulence closure model, simulations of a transient rotational subglacial plume are performed. The simulated entrainment rate of ambient water entering the plume at its base is compared to existing entrainment parameterizations based on bulk properties of the plume. A sensitivity study with variations of interfacial slope, interfacial roughness and ambient water temperature reveals substantial performance differences between these bulk formulations. An existing entrainment parameterization based on the Froude number and the Ekman number proves to have the highest predictive skill. Recalibration to subglacial plumes using a variable drag coefficient further improves its performance.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: In a world of global warming, the melting of glaciers terminating as floating ice tongues into the oceans of Arctic and Antarctic regions allows those glaciers to flow faster and hence to make a considerable contribution to global mean sea‐level rise. Underneath the ice‐ocean interface, turbulent currents of the order of 10 m thickness (so‐called plumes) develop that transport the melt water from the grounding line where the glacier enters the ocean toward the calving front that marks the seaward end of the glacier. At its base, ambient relatively warm and salty ocean water is mixed into the plumes and is vertically transported toward the ice‐ocean interface, where the melting is increased due to the additional heat supply. Understanding these processes is essential for their incorporation into computer models for the prediction of such melt processes. In this study, an accurate simulation model for the water column is constructed that is able to consistently reproduce these processes. The algorithms developed here are proven to provide reliable results also for models with only a few grid points across the plume and can therefore be implemented into climate models with surface‐following coordinates to more accurately simulate future scenarios of sea level rise.
    Description: Key Points: A vertically resolving model with second‐moment turbulence closure has been constructed for subglacial plumes. Convergent numerical formulations for the ocean‐to‐ice fluxes of momentum, freshwater and heat have been derived from an analytical model. Model results are consistent with bulk parameterizations for the entrainment of ambient water.

    Description: Accurate and reliable precipitation data with high spatial and temporal resolution are essential in studying climate variability, water resources management, and hydrological forecasting. A range of global precipitation data are available to this end, but how well these capture actual precipitation remains unknown, particularly for mountain regions where ground stations are sparse. We examined the performance of three global high‐resolution precipitation products for capturing precipitation over Central Asia, a hotspot of climate change, where reliable precipitation data are particularly scarce. Specifically, we evaluated MSWEP, CHIRPS, and GSMAP against independent gauging stations for the period 1985–2015. Our results show that MSWEP and CHIRPS outperformed GSMAP for wetter periods (i.e., winter and spring) and wetter locations (150–600 mm·year−1), lowlands, and mid‐altitudes (0–3,000 m), and regions dominated by winter and spring precipitation. MSWEP performed best in representing temporal precipitation dynamics and CHIRPS excelled in capturing the volume and distribution of precipitation. All precipitation products poorly estimated precipitation at higher elevations (〉3,000 m), in drier areas (〈150 mm), and in regions characterized by summer precipitation. All products accurately detected dry spells, but their performance decreased for wet spells with increasing precipitation intensity. In sum, we find that CHIRPS and MSWEP provide the most reliable high‐resolution precipitation estimates for Central Asia. However, the high spatial and temporal heterogeneity of the performance call for a careful selection of a suitable product for local applications considering the prevailing precipitation dynamics, climatic, and topographic conditions.
    Description: We present the first quantitative evaluation of global high‐resolution (below 12 km) precipitation products against independent ground observations over Central Asia. Our results show that MSWEP was best at representing temporal precipitation dynamics, and CHIRPS was most prominent in representing the volume and distribution of precipitation. This is especially the case of wet seasons, altitudes below 3,000 m, and regions dominated by spring and winter precipitation. Our analysis provides key insights on the precipitation products' suitability for local hydrological applications.

    Description: Observation‐based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot. While several initiatives have addressed the impacts of climate change in parts of the EMME, here we present an updated assessment, covering a wide range of timescales, phenomena and future pathways. Our assessment is based on a revised analysis of recent observations and projections and an extensive overview of the recent scientific literature on the causes and effects of regional climate change. Greenhouse gas emissions in the EMME are growing rapidly, surpassing those of the European Union, hence contributing significantly to climate change. Over the past half‐century and especially during recent decades, the EMME has warmed significantly faster than other inhabited regions. At the same time, changes in the hydrological cycle have become evident. The observed recent temperature increase of about 0.45°C per decade is projected to continue, although strong global greenhouse gas emission reductions could moderate this trend. In addition to projected changes in mean climate conditions, we call attention to extreme weather events with potentially disruptive societal impacts. These include the strongly increasing severity and duration of heatwaves, droughts and dust storms, as well as torrential rain events that can trigger flash floods. Our review is complemented by a discussion of atmospheric pollution and land‐use change in the region, including urbanization, desertification and forest fires. Finally, we identify sectors that may be critically affected and formulate adaptation and research recommendations toward greater resilience of the EMME region to climate change.
    Description: Key Points: The Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East is warming almost two times faster than the global average and other inhabited parts of the world. Climate projections indicate a future warming, strongest in summers. Precipitation will likely decrease, particularly in the Mediterranean. Virtually all socio‐economic sectors will be critically affected by the projected changes.

    Description: Hydrogen is a promising alternative to carbon based energy carriers and may be stored in large quantities in subsurface storage deposits. This work assesses the impact of static (density and phase equilibria) and dynamic (viscosity and diffusion coefficients) properties on the pressure field during the injection and extraction of hydrogen in the porous subsurface. In a first step, we derive transport properties for water, hydrogen and their mixture using the Perturbed‐Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory equation of state in combination with an entropy scaling approach and compare model predictions to alternative models from the literature. Our model compares excellently to experimental transport coefficients and models from literature with a higher number of adjustable parameters, such as GERG2008, and shows a clear improvement over empirical correlations for transport coefficients of hydrogen. In a second step, we determine the effect of further model reduction by comparing our against a much simpler model applying empirical transport coefficients from the literature. For this purpose, hydrogen is periodically injected into and extracted out of a dome‐shaped porous aquifer under a caprock. Our results show that density and viscosity of hydrogen have the highest impact on the pressure field, and that a thermodynamic model like the new model presented here is essential for modeling the storage aquifer, while keeping the number of coefficients at a minimum. In diffusion‐dominated settings such as the diffusion of hydrogen through the caprock, our developed diffusion coefficients show a much improved dependence on temperature and pressure, leading to a more accurate approximation of the diffusive fluxes.
    Description: Key Points: We model the phase behavior of pure hydrogen and the binary hydrogen‐water mixture using the Perturbed‐Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory equation of state. New entropy scaling relations for the transport properties of hydrogen and water and diffusion coefficients of their mixture are derived. The impact of the newly derived fluid properties is analyzed for a scenario of hydrogen storage in a porous aquifer.

    Description: In this paper we coupled a crop growth model to the Weather Research and Forecasting model with its land surface model Noah‐MP and demonstrated the influence of the weather driven crop growth on land‐atmosphere (L‐A) feedback. An impact study was performed at the convection permitting scale of 3 km over Germany. While the leaf area index (LAI) in the control simulation was the same for all cropland grid cells, the inclusion of the crop growth model resulted in heterogeneous crop development with higher LAI and stronger seasonality. For the analyses of L‐A coupling, a two‐legged metric was applied based on soil moisture, latent heat flux and convective available potential energy. Weak atmospheric coupling is enhanced by the crop model, the terrestrial coupling determines the regions with the L‐A feedback. The inclusion of the crop model turns regions with no L‐A feedback on this path into regions with strong positive coupling. The number of non‐atmospherically controlled days between April and August is increased by 10–15 days in more than 50% of Germany. Our work shows that this impact results in a reduction of both cold bias and warm biases and thus improves the metrics of distributed added value of the monthly mean temperatures. The study confirms that the simulation of the weather driven annual phenological development of croplands for the regional climate simulations in mid‐latitudes is crucial due to the L‐A feedback processes and the currently observed and expected future change in phenological phases.
    Description: Key Points: Coupling a crop growth model with the Weather and Research Forecasting model significantly improves the simulation of the leaf area index. Land‐atmosphere coupling strength is enhanced by weather dependent crop growth simulation. The distributed added value metric shows a reduction in temperature biases of up to 80% in croplands throughout the season in Germany.

    Description: Vlasov solvers that operate on a phase‐space grid are highly accurate but also numerically demanding. Coarse velocity space resolutions, which are largely unproblematic in particle‐in‐cell (PIC) simulations, can lead to numerical heating or oscillations in continuum Vlasov methods. To address this issue, we present a new dual Vlasov solver which is based on an established positivity preserving advection scheme for the update of the distribution function and an energy conserving partial differential equation solver for the kinetic update of mean velocity and temperature. The solvers work together via moment fitting during which the maximum entropy part of the distribution function is replaced by the solution from the partial differential equation solver. This numerical scheme makes continuum Vlasov methods competitive with PIC methods concerning computational cost and enables us to model large scale reconnection in Earth's magnetosphere with a fully kinetic continuum method. The simulation results agree well with measurements by the MMS spacecraft.
    Description: Key Points: A moment fitting continuum Vlasov solver is presented that preserves positivity of the distribution function and conserves total energy. The method behaves well at low velocity space resolutions, making it competitive with PIC methods concerning computational cost. There is good agreement of the simulations with measurements of magnetic reconnection by the MMS spacecraft.

    Description: In‐depth understanding of the potential implications of climate change is required to guide decision‐ and policy‐makers when developing adaptation strategies and designing infrastructure suitable for future conditions. Impact models that translate potential future climate conditions into variables of interest are needed to create the causal connection between a changing climate and its impact for different sectors. Recent surveys suggest that the primary strategy for validating such models (and hence for justifying their use) heavily relies on assessing the accuracy of model simulations by comparing them against historical observations. We argue that such a comparison is necessary and valuable, but not sufficient to achieve a comprehensive evaluation of climate change impact models. We believe that a complementary, largely observation‐independent, step of model evaluation is needed to ensure more transparency of model behavior and greater robustness of scenario‐based analyses. This step should address the following four questions: (1) Do modeled dominant process controls match our system perception? (2) Is my model's sensitivity to changing forcing as expected? (3) Do modeled decision levers show adequate influence? (4) Can we attribute uncertainty sources throughout the projection horizon? We believe that global sensitivity analysis, with its ability to investigate a model's response to joint variations of multiple inputs in a structured way, offers a coherent approach to address all four questions comprehensively. Such additional model evaluation would strengthen stakeholder confidence in model projections and, therefore, into the adaptation strategies derived with the help of impact models.

    Description: The moisture sources of precipitation in the Tianshan Mountains, one of the regions with the highest precipitation in Central Asia during 1979–2017 are comprehensively and quantitatively summarized by using a Lagrangian moisture source detection technique. Continental sources provide about 93.2% of the moisture for precipitation in the Tianshan Mountain, while moisture directly from the ocean is very limited, averaging only 6.8%. Central Asia plays a dominant role in providing moisture for all sub‐regions of the Tianshan Mountains. For the Western Tianshan, moisture from April to October comes mainly from Central Asia (41.4%), while moisture from November to March is derived primarily from Western Asia (45.7%). Nearly 13.0% of moisture to precipitation for Eastern Tianshan in summer originates from East and South Asia, and the Siberia region. There is a significant decreasing trend in the moisture contribution of local evaporation and Central Asia in the Eastern Tianshan during winter. The contribution of moisture from Europe to summer precipitation in the Central and Eastern Tianshan and the contribution of the North Atlantic Ocean to summer precipitation in the Northern, Central, and Eastern Tianshan also exhibit a decreasing trend. The largest increase in moisture in Western Tianshan stems from West Asia during extreme winter precipitation months. Europe is also an important contributor to extreme precipitation in the Northern Tianshan. The moisture from East and South Asia and Siberia during extreme precipitation months in both winter and summer is significantly enhanced in the Eastern Tianshan.
    Description: Key Points: Local evaporation and Central Asia play a leading role in providing moisture for all sub‐regions of the Tianshan Mountains. The largest moisture component during the months of extreme winter precipitation for Western Tianshan derives from western Asia. Moisture from East and South Asia and Siberia during extreme precipitation months is significantly enhanced in the Eastern Tianshan.

    Description: The significant climate feedback of stratospheric water vapor (SWV) necessitates quantitative estimates of SWV budget changes. Model simulations driven by the newest European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecast reanalysis ERA5, satellite observations from the Stratospheric Water and OzOne Satellite Homogenized data set, Microwave Limb Sounder, and in situ frost point hygrometer observations from Boulder all show substantial and persistent stratospheric moistening after a sharp drop in water vapor at the turn of the millennium. This moistening occurred mainly during 2000–2006 and SWV abundances then remained high over the last decade. We find strong positive trends in the Northern Hemisphere and weak negative trends over the South Pole, mainly during austral winter. Moistening of the tropical stratosphere after 2000 occurred during late boreal winter/spring, reached values of ∼0.2 ppm/decade, was well correlated with a warming of the cold point tropopause by ∼0.4 K/decade and can only be partially attributed to El Nino‐Southern Oscillation and volcanic eruptions.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Water vapor is an effective greenhouse gas. Human‐induced climate change has led to warmer air in the troposphere, which consequently can hold more moisture, thus enhancing the greenhouse effect. The long‐term change in stratospheric water vapor (SWV) is less clear and currently under debate. Using satellite observations, balloon soundings and model simulations, we find an increase of SWV after 2000. This moistening occurred mainly during 2000–2006 and the stratospheric moisture content then remained high over the last decade. The increase of SWV is stronger in the Northern than in the Southern Hemisphere. Over the South Pole, a weak decrease was found. Moistening of the tropical stratosphere occurred mainly during late winter and spring, and was in line with warming of the tropical tropopause, the coldest region that separates the troposphere and stratosphere. Natural causes such as volcanic eruptions cannot completely explain this stratospheric moistening.
    Description: Key Points: Stratospheric moistening after 2000 is clearly detectable in ERA5‐driven simulations, satellite and in situ observations. Hemispheric asymmetry is found with strong positive trends in the Northern Hemisphere and weak negative trends over the South Pole. Moistening of the lower tropical stratosphere is only partially caused by El Nino‐Southern Oscillation and volcanic eruptions.

    Description: Worldwide, rice production contributes about 10% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the agricultural sector, mainly due to CH4 emissions from continuously flooded fields. Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) is a promising crop technology for mitigating CH4 emissions and reducing the irrigation water currently being applied in many of the world's top rice‐producing countries. However, decreased emissions of CH4 may be partially counterbalanced by increased N2O emissions. In this case study for the Philippines, the national mitigation potential of AWD is explored using the process‐based biogeochemical model LandscapeDNDC. Simulated mean annual CH4 emissions under conventional rice production for the time period 2000–2011 are estimated as 1,180 ± 163 Gg CH4 yr−1. During the cropping season, this is about +16% higher than a former estimate using emission factors. Scenario simulations of nationwide introduction of AWD in irrigated landscapes suggest a considerable decrease in CH4 emissions by −23%, while N2O emissions are only increased by +8%. Irrespective of field management, at national scale, the radiative forcing of irrigated rice production is always dominated by CH4 (〉95%). The reduction potential of GHG emissions depends on, for example, number of crops per year, residue management, amount of applied irrigation water, and sand content. Seasonal weather conditions also play an important role since the mitigation potential of AWD is almost double as high in dry as compared to wet seasons. Furthermore, this study demonstrates the importance of temporal continuity, considering off‐season emissions and the long‐term development of GHG emissions across multiple years.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Worldwide, rice production contributes to about 10% of total greenhouse gas emissions of the agricultural sector mainly due to CH4 emissions from fields that are continuously flooded. Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) is an alternative cropping practice where fields are irrigated a few days after the disappearance of the ponded water. This study explores the mitigation potential of nationwide introduction of AWD in the Philippines. Results from the application of a process‐based model suggest a considerable decrease in CH4 emissions by −23%. Compared to N2O, CH4 is responsible for more than 95% of the total radiative forcing under conventional or AWD field management.
    Description: Key Points: Nationwide, Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD) reduces CH4 emissions by −23%. N2O emissions contribute to less than 5% to the total radiative forcing under conventional or AWD field management. Mitigation of AWD depends on, for example, seasonal weather conditions, cropping intensity, irrigation, residue management, and soil texture.

    Description: Natural forcing from solar and volcanic activity contributes significantly to climate variability. The post‐eruption cooling of strong volcanic eruptions was hypothesized to have led to millennial‐scale variability during Glacials. Cooling induced by volcanic eruption is potentially weaker in the warmer climate. The underlying question is whether the climatic response to natural forcing is state‐dependent. Here, we quantify the response to natural forcing under Last Glacial and Pre‐Industrial conditions in an ensemble of climate model simulations. We evaluate internal and forced variability on annual to multicentennial scales. The global temperature response reveals no state dependency. Small local differences result mainly from state‐dependent sea ice changes. Variability in forced simulations matches paleoclimate reconstructions significantly better than in unforced scenarios. Considering natural forcing is therefore important for model‐data comparison and future projections.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Climate variability describes the spatial and temporal variations of Earth's climate. Understanding these variations is important for estimating the occurrence of extreme climate events such as droughts. Yet, it is unclear whether climate variability depends on the mean surface temperature of the Earth or not. Here, we investigate the effects of natural forcing from volcanic eruptions and solar activity changes on climate variability. We compare simulations of a past (cold) and present (warm) climate with and without volcanism and solar changes. We find that overall, the climate system responds similarly to natural forcing in the cold and warm state. Small local differences mainly occur where ice can form. To evaluate the simulated variability, we use data from paleoclimate archives, including trees, ice‐cores, and marine sediments. Climate variability from forced simulations agrees better with the temperature variability obtained from data. Natural forcing is therefore critical for reliable simulation of variability in past and future climates.
    Description: Key Points: We present Glacial/Interglacial climate simulations and quantify effects of time‐varying volcanic and solar forcing on climate variability. The mean global and local response to these forcings is similar in Glacial and Interglacial climate, suggesting low state dependency. In both climate states, modeled temperature variance agrees better with palaeoclimate data when volcanic and solar forcing is included.

    Description: In recent years, Spatial Markov Models have gained popularity in simulating solute transport in heterogeneous formations. They describe the transition times of particles between equidistant observation planes by statistical distributions, assuming correlation of the transit times of individual particles between subsequent steps. By this, the approach naturally captures preasymptotic solute dispersion. In this study, we analyze Spatial Markov Models assuming bivariate log‐normal distributions of the particle slowness (i.e., the inverse velocity) in subsequent transitions. The model is fully parameterized by the mean Eulerian velocity, the variance of the log‐slowness, and the correlation coefficient of log‐slowness in subsequent steps. We derive closed‐form expressions for distance‐dependent ensemble dispersion, which is defined in terms of the second‐central moments of the solute breakthrough curves. We relate the coefficients to the properties of the underlying log‐hydraulic conductivity field assuming second‐order stationarity. The results are consistent with linear stochastic theory in the limit of small log‐conductivity variances, while the approach naturally extends to high‐variance cases. We demonstrate the validity of the approach by comparison to three‐dimensional particle‐tracking simulations of advective transport in heterogeneous media with isotropic, exponential correlation structure for log‐conductivity variances up to five. This study contributes to relating solute dispersion to metrics of the porous‐medium structure in cases of strong heterogeneity.
    Description: Key Points: We derive closed‐form expressions of ensemble dispersion in the spatial‐Markov framework of solute transport. The expressions are consistent with linear theory in the limit of small log‐conductivity variances, but extend to high‐variance cases. Comparison to particle‐tracking simulations of advective transport in 3‐D heterogeneous domains show excellent agreement.

    Description: The Madden–Julian oscillation (MJO) is the dominant component of tropical intraseasonal variability, with wide‐reaching impacts even on extratropical weather and climate patterns. However, predicting the MJO is challenging. One reason is the suboptimal state estimates obtained with standard data assimilation (DA) approaches. These are typically based on filtering methods with Gaussian approximations and do not take into account physical properties that are important specifically for the MJO. In this article, a constrained ensemble DA method is applied to study the impact of different physical constraints on the state estimation and prediction of the MJO. The quadratic programming ensemble (QPEns) algorithm utilized extends the standard stochastic ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) with specifiable constraints on the updates of all ensemble members. This allows us to recover physically more consistent states and to respect possible associated non‐Gaussian statistics. The study is based on identical twin experiments with an adopted nonlinear model for tropical intraseasonal variability. This so‐called skeleton model succeeds in reproducing the main large‐scale features of the MJO and closely related tropical waves, while keeping adequate simplicity for fast experiments on intraseasonal time‐scales. Conservation laws and other crucial physical properties from the model are examined as constraints in the QPEns. Our results demonstrate an overall improvement in the filtering and forecast skill when the model's total energy is conserved in the initial conditions. The degree of benefit is found to be dependent on the observational setup and the strength of the model's nonlinear dynamics. It is also shown that, even in cases where the statistical error in some waves remains comparable with the stochastic EnKF during the DA stage, their prediction is improved remarkably when using the initial state resulting from the QPEns.
    Description: Unsatisfactory predictions of the MJO are partly due to DA methods that do not respect non‐Gaussian PDFs and the physical properties of the tropical atmosphere. Therefore the QPEns, an algorithm extending a stochastic EnKF with state constraints, is tested here on a simplified model for the MJO and associated tropical waves. Our series of identical twin experiments shows, in particular, that a constraint on the truth's nonlinear total energy improves forecasts statistically and can, in certain situations, even prevent filter divergence. image

    Description: Abundant rainfall over tropical land masses sustains rich ecosystems, a crucial source of biodiversity and sink of carbon. Here, we use two characteristics of the observed tropical precipitation distribution, its distinctive zonal arrangement and its partitioning between land and ocean, to understand whether land conditions the climate to receive more than its fair share of precipitation as set by the land‐sea distribution. Our analysis demonstrates that it is not possible to explain the tropics‐wide partitioning of precipitation unless one assumes that rain is favored over land. Land receives more than its fair share of precipitation by broadening and letting the tropical rainbelts move more, effectively underpinning a negative feedback between surface water storage and precipitation. In contrast, rain is disfavored over land in climate models. Our findings suggest that the abundance of rainfall that shapes the terrestrial tropical biosphere is more robust to perturbations than models have suggested.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Many ecosystems depend on the presence of a land surface exposed to precipitation to exist and prosper. In contrast to the marine biota, though, the terrestrial biosphere cannot directly tap into an unlimited reservoir of water molecules that can be recycled to support life. Yet, observations indicate that it rains in mean 3 mm day−1 over tropical land and 3 mm day−1 over tropical ocean, giving the surprising impression that precipitation amounts are not altered by the presence of land. Investigating the factors controlling this tropics‐wide partitioning of precipitation, we show that geometrical constraints actually would lead to a precipitation ratio of 0.86, not 1.0, if the presence of land would not matter. Comparing this theoretical value to observations, we find that the land receives more than its fair share of precipitation. This happens by broadening and letting the tropical rainbelt moves more over land. By quantifying the strength of the land control on the tropics‐wide partitioning of precipitation, we can also deduce that a negative feedback exists between evapotranspiration and precipitation. In contrast, repeating the same analysis with climate models reveals a positive feedback, questioning the ability of climate models to simulate regional tropical precipitation changes.
    Description: Key Points: A conceptual model of tropical precipitation is derived to understand the tropics‐wide partitioning of precipitation between land and ocean. The size and location of continent constrain the tropical land‐to‐ocean precipitation ratio to lie between 0.74 and 0.95 with a mean of 0.86. Observed ratios from six data sets are larger than these values, indicating that land receives more than its fair share of precipitation.

    Description: High ground‐level ozone concentrations and high air temperatures present two health‐relevant natural hazards. The most severe health outcomes are generally associated with concurrent elevated levels of both variables, representing so‐called compound ozone and temperature (o‐t‐) events. These o‐t‐events, their relationship with identified main meteorological and synoptic drivers, as well as ozone and temperature levels themselves and the linkage between both variables, vary temporally and with the location of sites. Due to the serious health burden and its spatiotemporal variations, the analysis of o‐t‐events across the European domain represents the focus of the current work. The main objective is to model and project present and future o‐t‐events, taking region‐specific differences into account. Thus, a division of the European domain into six o‐t‐regions with homogeneous, similar ground‐level ozone and temperature characteristics and patterns built the basis of the study. In order to assess region‐specific main meteorological and synoptic drivers of o‐t‐events, statistical downscaling models were developed for selected representative stations per o‐t‐region. Statistical climate change projections for all central European o‐t‐regions were generated to assess potential frequency shifts of o‐t‐events until the end of the 21st century. The output of eight Earth System Models from the sixth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project considering SSP245 and SSP370 scenario assumptions was applied. By comparing midcentury (2041–2060) and late century (2081–2100) time slice differences with respect to a historical base period (1995–2014), substantial increases of the health‐relevant compound o‐t‐events were projected across all central European regions.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Compound events with concurrent high levels of ozone, being a major pollutant present in the air near Earth's surface, and of air temperature, have strong negative impacts on the health of humans. In this study, these compound events were investigated under present and future European climate. Six regions of similar ozone and temperature characteristics and patterns were defined. For each region, representative stations being typical examples for the overall region were extracted. Models for these stations were developed and their results analyzed to define factors that highly influence the occurrence of compound ozone and temperature events in each region, for example, mean air temperature or humidity levels. The generated models were later applied to project future frequency shifts of these compound events under climate change in central Europe. As a major result of the study, the future health‐relevant compound ozone and temperature events were projected to occur more frequently in the middle as well as at the end of the 21st century across all central European regions.
    Description: Key Points: A clustering approach based on ground‐level ozone and air temperature leads to a division of Europe into six ozone and temperature regions. Statistical downscaling models identify region‐specific main meteorological and synoptic drivers of compound ozone and temperature events. Climate change projections point to an increase in these compound events until the end of the 21st century in central Europe.

    Description: Atmospheric delay corrections for satellite altimetry measurements are essential for deriving highly accurate sea surface heights and reliable global mean sea level (GMSL) trend estimates. A commonly used method to correct for ionospheric path delays are the usage of GNSS‐based Global Ionospheric Maps (GIM). The different orbit heights of GNSS and altimeter satellites require an adaption of GIM corrections to account for free electrons in the Earth plasmasphere. This study shows that the widely used scaling approach based on the International Reference Ionosphere (IRI) is not able to accurately scale the GIM models. The impact of neglecting the plasmaspheric part of the atmosphere strongly correlates with the solar activity of about 11 years. This manifests itself as trend errors in global GMSL. For the Jason period (2002–2021) a trend error of 0.17 mm/year can be shown, which is even larger for smaller periods (e.g., 1.0 mm/year for Jason‐1 lifetime). The application of an additional constant scaling factor of 0.886 can reduce the trend differences to below 0.05 mm/year.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Global mean sea level (GMSL) rise is an important indicator for climate change. To precisely measure this quantity that is only in the order of about 3 mm/year, satellite altimeters are used. Their observations have to be corrected for influences in the Earth atmosphere. This study shows deficiencies in one commonly used correction data set. These corrections, based on observations from the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) are not accounting for the higher part of the atmosphere, the plasmasphere. Neglecting this influence derives systematic errors with a 11 years cycle that impacts the estimation of GMSL by up to 1 mm/year, depending on the period under investigation. It is recommended to apply an additional scaling of the available corrections in order to reduce the trend error to below 0.05 mm/year.
    Description: Key Points: Global Ionospheric Map corrections in altimetry Sensor Geophysical Data Records are not fully scaled to account for plasmaspheric electron content. Neglecting the plasmaspheric effect leads to trends of up to 1 mm/year in Global mean sea level estimates. The additional application of a scale factor improves the consistency in trend with respect to dual‐frequency satellite altimetry data.

    Description: During the period 2018–2020, Europe experienced a series of hot and dry weather conditions with significant socioeconomic and environmental consequences. Yet, the extremity of these multi‐year dry conditions is not recognized. Here, we provide a comprehensive spatio‐temporal assessment of the drought hazard over Europe by benchmarking past exceptional events during the period from 1766 to 2020. We identified the 2018–2020 drought event as a new benchmark having an unprecedented intensity that persisted for more than 2 years, exhibiting a mean areal coverage of 35.6% and an average duration of 12.2 months. What makes this event truly exceptional compared with past events is its near‐surface air temperature anomaly reaching +2.8 K, which constitutes a further evidence that the ongoing global warming is exacerbating present drought events. Furthermore, future events based on climate model simulations Coupled Model Intercomparison Project v5 suggest that Europe should be prepared for events of comparable intensity as the 2018–2020 event but with durations longer than any of those experienced in the last 250 years. Our study thus emphasizes the urgent need for adaption and mitigation strategies to cope with such multi‐year drought events across Europe.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: This manuscript demonstrates that the 2018–2020 multi‐year drought event constitutes a new benchmark in Europe, with an unprecedented level of intensity over the past 250 years. What makes this event truly exceptional compared with past events is its temperature anomaly reaching +2.8 K. This finding provides new evidence that the ongoing global warming exacerbates current drought events. The key message of this study is that the projected future events across the European continent will have a comparable intensity as the 2018–2020 drought but exhibit considerably longer durations than any of those observed during the last 250 years. Our analysis also shows that these exceptional temperature‐enhanced droughts significantly negatively impact commodity crops across Europe.
    Description: Key Points: The 2018–2020 multi‐year drought shows unprecedented level of intensity during the past 250 years. The 2018–2020 event reached record‐breaking +2.8 K temperature anomaly and negatively impacted major crops. Future drought events reach comparable intensity of 2018–2020 but with considerably longer durations.

    Description: Im Steinbruch der Firma Balz (Pappenheim) wurde ein Intervall von 18 m Mächtigkeit im Bereich der Unteren Mergelplatte und der Oberen Mergelplatte (Grenzbereich Malm Delta 1-3) der Treuchtlingen Formation untersucht. Die Schichtfolge (16 Bänke; Schichten) kann über mehrere 10-er Kilometer in der Südlichen Frankenalb korreliert werden. Die Bänke sind durch deutliche »Hauptfugen« voneinander getrennt und zeigen oft auch schwach ausgebildete Bank-interne »Nebenfugen«. Die mikrofazielle Analyse wurde anhand von 22 Proben mittels petrographischer Dünnschliffe und röntgenographischer-Analysen zur Ermittlung der tonmineralogischen Zusammensetzung der Nichtkarbonate durchgeführt. Die Bänke bauen sich aus Horizonten verschiedener Partikelkalke (Mikrofazies-Typen) mit charakteristischen Karbonatgehalten auf. Matrix-reiche Wackestones (92-96% Karbonatgehalt), Partikel-reiche Packstones und mikrobielle Bindstones (94-98%) wechseln sich in vertikaler Folge ab. Eingeschaltete Mergel sind entsprechend ihres Anteils an Nichtkarbonaten unterschiedlich ausgebildet. Die Partikelkalke zeigen wechselnde Matrix-Gehalte und Mächtigkeiten von Zentimetern bis Dezimetern innerhalb der Bänke. Sie spiegeln einen stetigen Wechsel der Wasserenergie von gering bis mäßig im Ablagerungsraum wider. Dünne Schalen planktonischer Bivalven (Filamente) wurden zu Zeiten erhöhter Wasserenergie aus entfernten, südlichen Meeresbereichen eingeschwemmt. Mikrobielle Lagen deuten auf eine Fixierung von vorher abgelagerten Sedimenten. Mikrobielle Aktivität führte zu dünnen, mikrobiellen Sedimentlagen, zu rundlichen Onkoiden mit mikritischen Kernen und zur Bildung von länglichen Filament-Onkoiden mit dünnen, langen Filamenten als Kern. Kleine domförmige mikrobielle »Stromatolithe«, Zusammenwachen von Tubiphyten und Serpuliden in kleinen Clustern stellen kleine riffogene Strukturen dar, die lokal am Meeresbodens wachsen konnten, der nur ein geringes Relief von Zentimeter bis Dezimeter Höhe aufgewiesen hat. Röntgenographisch, tonmineralogische Untersuchen zeigen vier Zonen unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung der Tonmineral-Vergesellschaftung. Eine basale Mica-Chlorit-Zone wird von einer Kaolinit-Mica-Montmorillonit-Zone überlagert, die an der Unteren Mergelplatte endet. Der Bereich zwischen der Unteren und der Oberen Mergelplatte (Bank 19 bis Bank 25) weist in der liegenden Hälfte eine Mica-Mixed-Layer-Montmorillonit-Zone mit Spuren von Chlorit und eine Mica-Montmorillonit-Zone im oberen Teil auf. Zusammenhänge zwischen dem Vorkommen von Onkoiden und Filament-Onkoiden sowie den Tonmineral-Assoziationen deuten auf spezifische klimatologische Bedingungen hin. Die Entwicklung eines tropisch humiden zu einem tropischen, semi-ariden Klima mit entsprechendem Verwitterungspotential kristalliner Gesteine des nahen Böhmischen Massivs und Bildungsbedingungen der Tonmineral-Assoziationen im Untersuchungsbereich ist wahrscheinlich

    Description: Die verschiedenen architektonischen Baustile in einer Stadt geben der Nachwelt jeweils Zeugnis von der kulturellen und politischen Entwicklung. Dabei spielen die Baumaterialien vom historischen Naturstein bis hin zu den heute modernen technologischen Materialien (Kunststein, Glasbausteine, Beton, Metall etc.) eine wesentliche Rolle. Viele Jahrhunderte lang stand nur eine sehr begrenzte Palette an Naturwerksteinen zur Verfügung und es wurden zunächst sogenannte „Weichgesteine“ (Sandsteine, Kalkstein) genutzt, die leicht abzubauen und zu verarbeiten waren und die aus nahe gelegenen Abbaugebieten (»Steinbruch vor der Haustür«) stammten, oder auf Flüssen antransportiert werden konnten. Deshalb sind ältere Ortschaften und Städte durch eine lokalspezifische Gesteinsmonotonie gekennzeichnet, was sich in Erlangen in der Verwendung des in der Stadt und in der nahen Umgebung anstehenden Burgsandsteins widerspiegelt. Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts traten für den technischen Aufschwung in der Steinindustrie entscheidende Veränderungen ein. Aufgrund der verbesserten maschinellen Bearbeitung kamen auch hier nun vermehrt Hartgesteine (Granit,Gabbro, Basalt) zur Verwendung. Durch neue Transportmöglichkeiten (Kanäle, Straße, Schiene) wurde auch die Einfuhr »exotischer Fremdgesteine« aus weitentfernten Abbaugebieten möglich. Seit der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts kamen Kunststeine hinzu, mit denen natürliche Gesteine häufig perfekt imitiert werden können. Besondere politische Ereignisse, wie z. B. der deutsch französische Krieg (1870-1871) und damit zusammenhängend die Lieferungen von Fremdgesteinen nach Deutschland als Reparationsleistungen (Savonnières Kalkstein, Napoléon Kalkstein) dokumentieren noch heute markante Einschnitte in der Palette der verwendeten Naturwerksteine. In einem relativ engen Zeitfenster von der Hochzeit der Industrialisierung und auch der Deutschen Steinindustrie bis zu Beginn des ersten Weltkrieges (1900-1914) können diese vielschichtigen Einflüsse anhand von vier, in diesem Zeittraum errichteten Bauwerken in Erlangen exemplarisch aufgezeigt werden. Dabei geben auch die jeweiligen Zeitspannen von der Planung bis zur Fertigstellung und Einweihung der Gebäude Hinweise auf die politische und bautechnische Situation. Das Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium wurde aus der Prinz-Ludwig-Schule vom ersten Spatenstich im November 1901 bis zur Einweihung im November 1902 in nur einem Jahr fertig gestellt. Das Marie-Therese-Gymnasium, welches als neues Schulhaus in der Schillerstraße aus der »Städtischen höheren Töchterschule« hervorgegangen ist, wurde 1909 eingeweiht und erst 1965 offiziell als städtisches Marie-Therese-Gymnasium benannt. Die Universitätsbibliothek wurde 1910 geplant und nach der Grundsteinlegung 1911 bereits nach 2 Jahren Bauzeit im November 1913 eröffnet. Dabei hat der Termin des 170. Geburtstages der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität am 4. November 1913 sicher für entsprechenden Zeitdruck gesorgt und die Bauarbeiten beschleunigt. Der Bau des Instituts für Angewandten Chemie, der wahrscheinlich auch zur Unterstützung der Forschung an kriegswichtigen Materialen schnell errichtet werden musste, wurde nach kurzer Planung 1914 begonnen. Doch führten dann kriegsbedingte Schwierigkeiten, wozu wahrscheinlich auch der Mangel an Arbeitskräften aufgrund der Mobilmachung gehörte, zu großen Verzögerungen, weshalb der Rohbau erst 1916 fertiggestellt wurde und das Institut erst zum Wintersemester 1920 nach dem ersten Weltkrieg (1914-1918) bezogen werden konnte. Die Gestaltung der Front des Christian-Ernst-Gymnasiums, der Eingangsbereiche mit Portalen und Knaben- und Mädchenkopf aus schönem Roten Mainsandstein sowie einer darüber befindlichen Sandsteinbalustrade mit kunstvoll behauenen Vasen zeugen von einem ausgewogenen, repräsentativen Baustil. Die bronzene Büste des Prinzregenten auf einem Sockel aus ausgesuchtem hellem Untersberger Marmor (Kalkstein) sowie die ganze Gestaltung des Eingangsbereichs dokumentieren die positive Einstellung der Erlanger Bürger zu diesem Bauwerk. Die Gestaltung des Innenbereichs mit Wasserbecken aus poliertem Treuchtlinger Kalkstein sowie den beiden großzügig gestalteten Treppenhäusern mit Stufen aus Nammering Granit und schönen Holzbalustern bezeugen ebenso die gelungene architektonische Gesamtplanung wie auch die leider nicht mehr vollständig erhaltenen, geschwungenen Oberlichter über den Eichentüren zu den einzelnen Räumen. Auch die Gestaltung der Fußböden in den Gängen mit geschmackvollem Schwarz-Weiß-Muster der Bodenfliesen, die damals eine moderne technische Entwicklung (Trockenpressen) darstellten, lässt die Wertschätzung des Schulbaus bei den Bürgern und Architekten erkennen. Der Schulbau spiegelt auch heute noch die Freude am schönen Gestalten wider, die man damals hatte und in kurzer Zeit umsetzte und wirkt auch im Inneren heute noch fast fröhlich durch die von den beiden Treppenhäusern ausgehenden, lichtdurchflossenen Flure. Der heute als Marie-Therese-Gymnasium bekannt Bau in der Schillerstraße wurde etwa sieben Jahre später ebenfalls in sehr kurzer Bauzeit von der Planung 1908 bis zum Bezug 1909 des Neubau errichtet, der zunächst zur Unterbringung der »Städtischen höheren weiblichen Bildungsanstalt« diente. Der aufwändige neubarocke Stil ist trotz nachfolgender Veränderungen gut erhalten geblieben und zeigt auch noch das Chörlein an der Ostfassade vor dem 1956 erfolgten Erweiterungsbau. Muschelkalk und Coburger Bausandstein wurden für die Fassade ebenso wie am Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium verwendet und dokumentieren den Stil eines Schulbaus zu dieser Zeit. Doch wurden die Schmuckelemente des Eingangsportals mit großen Figuren und des großen Bayernwappens am Marie-Therese- Gymnasium aus grobporigem Muschelkalk geschlagen und kein feinkörniger Sandstein zur Modellierung verwendet. Eine Eingangshalle und ein trotz der Rundbögen geradliniges, kantig erscheinendes zentrales Treppenhaus weisen mehr auf einen pragmatischen Baustil im Inneren hin. Dieser Eindruck wird sowohl durch die intensive Verwendung von grobem Betonkunststein in Pfeilern und Balustern als auch durch einfarbige dunkelgrüne Wandfliesen und die teilweise verwendeten roten Bodenfliesen unterstützt. Die großen Keramikausgussbecken und besonders der Fußboden aus Linoleum, das sich in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts als moderner elastischer Bodenbelag durchgesetzt hat, zeigen im Innenbereich eine andere als im Christian-Ernst-Gymnasium, aber ebenfalls eine dem Stand der Technik zeitgemäße, moderne Gestaltung. Die ehemals verglasten, bunten Oberlichter, die dem Bau ein lichtdurchflossenes fröhliches Bild gaben, sind leider nicht mehr erhalten, weshalb der Eindruck im Inneren eher etwas klamm und gedämpft ist. Der geplante Besuch der Königsfamilie Ende Juli 1914 kam aufgrund des sich abzeichnenden Weltkrieges nicht zu Stande. Zu Ehren der Königin aber gab man dem Bau den Namen »Marie-Therese-Schule«, der 1965 von der Stadt in »Marie-Therese-Gymnasium« umgewandelt wurde. Der Neubau der Universitätsbibliothek, der 1910 geplant wurde, spiegelt in seinen beiden Teilen, dem Magazin- und dem Verwaltungstrakt eine komplexe Planungs- und Baugeschichte wider. Die Besuche der Planer von damals modernen Universitätsbibliotheken in anderen Universitätsstädten haben zu einem innovativen, dem neuesten Stand der Technik entsprechenden Magazintrakt mit selbst tragender Stahlkonstruktion geführt. Für den Außenbereich war die architektonische Eingliederung in die benachbarten Universitätsbauten im Markgrafenstil wie dem Kollegienhaus die Vorgabe. Dies wurde durch den Abriss der Reifbrauerei und die dadurch zur Verfügung stehenden Burgsandsteinquader begünstigt. Auch dass deren Menge nicht ausreichte, stellte kein Hindernis dar, konnten in dieser Zeit der Blüte von Steinbruchunternehmen doch problemlos zwei neue Brüche am Burgberg eröffnet werden. Die Gestaltung des Innenbereichs zeichnet sich durch architektonische, künstlerische Elemente aus, die sowohl durch Holzvertäfelung und Einbauten im Direktorenbereich und Sitzungssaal als auch durch die Auswahl der Naturwerksteine im Treppenhaus und in den Fluren einen repräsentativen Gesamteindruck vermitteln. Doch scheint hier gegen Ende der durch das 170-jährige Universitätsjubiläum (4. November 1913) vorgegebenen Bauzeit Zeitdruck entstanden zu sein, so dass manche Natursteinarbeiten nicht mehr mit der vorgesehenen Sorgfalt ausgeführt wurden. Dieser Umstand spiegelt sich besonders in den beidseitigen kastenartigen Konstruktionen aus nur 2 cm starken, schlecht verfugten Platten des Kalksteins Napoléon wider, die beidseitig des Treppenaufgangs angefertigt und mit zierlichen, zu klein erscheinenden Handläufen versehen wurden. Es kann angenommen werden, dass die Kalksteinplatten aus Reparationsleistungen des Deutsch-Französischen Krieges zu den Marmorwerken Funk in Nürnberg gelangt sind und hier verbaut wurden. In anderen repräsentativen Gebäuden dieser Zeit sind oft massive Geländer aus poliertem, edlem Naturstein zu finden. Auch die Platten aus Napoléon-Kalkstein in den Fluren erscheinen etwas rasch angebracht worden zu sein. Die grobkörnigen, bräunlichen Betonkunststeine aus denen die kurzen Mäuerchen mit Durchbruch und Holzbalustern und die Pfeiler hergestellt wurden, wirken leicht störend im gesamten repräsentativen Erscheinungsbild des Treppenhauses. Die schönen Rundbögen mit Kartuschen an den Eingängen zu den Fluren und vor allem die großen lichtgebenden Fenster aus Antikglas mit ziselierter Ornamentik verleihen dem Treppenhaus dagegen seinen großzügigen Eindruck. Das Gebäude der Universitätsbibliothek spiegelt den Wunsch nach einem hochmodernen (Magazintrakt) und gleichzeitig repräsentativen Gebäude (Verwaltungstrakt) wider. Die vollständige Umsetzung dieses Plans scheint unter dem Zeitdruck gelitten zu haben. Man griff daher wohl auch auf gerade verfügbares Material zurück, das wahrscheinlich günstig zu haben war und verwendete größere massive Kalksteine (Napoléon und Treuchtlinger Kalke) nur bei den beiden Wasserbecken in den Fluren. Auch die großen Säulen aus Muschelkalk zeigen, dass sie rasch und ohne weitere Qualitätsauswahl aus unterschiedlichen Muschelkalkschichten entnommen wurden, weshalb sie sowohl im als auch gegen das Lager übereinandergesetzt wurden, was bei derartigen Säulen steintechnisch nicht üblich ist. Der 1914 begonnene Bau des Instituts für Angewandte Chemie spiegelt seine besondere Bestimmung zur Förderung der Forschung im Zusammenhang mit dem ersten Weltkrieg eindrucksvoll wider. Der bis auf »heroische Figuren« über dem Eingangsbereich schnörkellose Bau zeigt die Vorherrschaft von Betonkunststein in der Fassade und in den großen Pfeilern im Treppenhaus. Die Elemente des vom Denkmalschutz besonders hervorgehobenen Holzzauns spannen sich zwischen mit grobem Beton überdeckte Backstein-Pfeilern, die heute besonders starke Schäden durch Abplatzen und Abschalen aufweisen. Der schmucklose Eingangsbereich leitet über zu einem ebenso schmucklosen Inneren mit überwiegend unterschiedlichen, einfarbigen Bodenfliesen und verschiedenen Kunststeinen. Nur die Eingangshalle ist mit dem für Bodenplatten besonders beliebten Solnhofener Kalkstein versehen. Ebenso sind nur der Gedenkstein an Prof. Max Busch, der damalige Rektor der Universität, und die Gedenktafel zur Würdigung der großzügigen Spender zur Errichtung des Baus in Treuchtlinger Kalkstein gefertigt wurden. Die Übergänge zwischen den verschiedenen Typen der Bodenfliesen sind abrupt und grenzen verschiedene Bereiche im Gebäude ab. Dazwischen wurde auch hier das damals hochmoderne Linoleum in großem Maße in unterschiedlichen Farben verwendet. Die großen Fenster aus Antikglas sind von besonderem Interesse. Hier wurde der Zweck des Baus in den verschiedenen Ornamenten in der Mitte der sechs Fenstereinheiten dokumentiert. Von der Erforschung der chemischen Elemente bis hin zu Düngemitteln und schließlich zum Sprengstoff wird der Einfluss der kriegswichtigen, praktischen Forschung deutlich. Die künstlerische Interpretation der hier schwerfälligen Rocaille-Ornamentik lässt keinen interpretatorischen Spielraum und ist wohl dem Wunsch des Auftraggebers angepasst, auf den sich der Künstler eingelassen hat. Glücklicherweise haben kriegsbedingte Schwierigkeiten dazu geführt, dass der Bau erst 1920 also etwa 2 Jahre nach dem Ende des ersten Weltkrieges bezogen werden konnte, und dadurch die kriegswichtigen Forschungsthemen anderen Schwerpunkten weichen mussten. Die Grundstücksgrenze zum heutigen Kitzmann-Areal stellt eine wertvolle, historisch verbürgte Grundstücksgrenze mit einem Teil der historischen Erlanger Stadtmauer dar, der auch bei heute eventuell anstehenden Baumaßnahmen nicht verändert werden darf. Das Direktionszimmer, das sich zentral in der zweiten Etage befindet, fällt aus dem Rahmen des nüchternen Zweckbaus. Hier wurde, wie im Direktionszimmer der Universitätsbibliothek, ein repräsentativer Raum mit einer Verkleidung und Wandschränken aus Eichenholz geschaffen. Dieser Raum wurde in den letzten Jahren als Bibliothek genutzt. Wie in der Universitätsbibliothek sollte das Ensemble des historischen Raumes unter Denkmalschutz gestellt werden

    Description: Variability of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) drives wintertime temperature anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere. Dynamical seasonal prediction systems can skilfully predict the winter NAO. However, prediction of the NAO‐dependent air temperature anomalies remains elusive, partially due to the low variability of predicted NAO. Here, we demonstrate a hidden potential of a multi‐model ensemble of operational seasonal prediction systems for predicting wintertime temperature by increasing the variability of predicted NAO. We identify and subsample those ensemble members which are close to NAO index statistically estimated from initial autumn conditions. In our novel multi‐model approach, the correlation prediction skill for wintertime Central Europe temperature is improved from 0.25 to 0.66, accompanied by an increased winter NAO prediction skill of 0.9. Thereby, temperature anomalies can be skilfully predicted for the upcoming winter over a large part of the Northern Hemisphere through increased variability and skill of predicted NAO.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Wintertime temperature in the Northern Hemisphere is regulated by the variations of atmospheric pressure, represented by the so‐called North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). The NAO's phase—negative or positive—is associated with the pathways of cold and warm air masses leading to cold or warm winters in Europe. While the NAO phase can be predicted well, predictions of the NAO‐dependent air temperature remain elusive. Specifically, it is challenging to predict the strength of the NAO, the most important requirement for the accurate prediction of wintertime temperature. Here, we improve wintertime temperature prediction by increasing the strength of the predicted NAO. We use observation based autumn Northern Hemisphere ocean and air temperature, as well as ice and snow cover for statistical estimation of the first guess NAO for the upcoming winter. Then, we sub‐select only those simulations from the multi‐model ensemble, which are consistent with our first guess NAO. As a result, based on these selected members, the wintertime temperature prediction is substantially improved over a large part of the Northern Hemisphere.
    Description: Key Points: Amplitude and skill of predicted North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) improve significantly by subsampling of ensemble of existing seasonal prediction systems. Amplified NAO variability leads to significant improvement in predicting the upcoming winter temperature anomalies in the Northern Hemisphere.

    Description: The subduction of serpentinized slabs is the dominant process to transport “water” into Earth's mantle, and plays a pivotal role for subduction dynamics. Antigorite, the most abundant serpentine mineral in subduction settings, may imprint a seismic signature on serpentinized slabs, making them seismically distinguishable from the dry, non‐serpentinized ones. However, the complete single‐crystal elasticity of antigorite has not been experimentally constrained at high pressures, hindering the use of seismological approaches to detect serpentinization in subducting slabs. Here, we report the full elastic stiffness tensor of antigorite by single‐crystal Brillouin spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction up to 7.71(5) GPa. We use our results to model seismic properties of antigorite‐bearing rocks and show that their seismological detectability depends on the geometrical relation between seismic wave paths and foliation of serpentinized rocks. In particular, we demonstrate that seismic shear anisotropy shows low sensitivity to serpentinization for a range of relevant geometries.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The subduction of serpentinized slabs plays a key role in the deep recycling of water into the Earth's interior. Antigorite is the main serpentine mineral in subducting slabs, and the most important carrier of water. Antigorite‐bearing rocks are predicted to have a distinct seismic signature, potentially allowing them to be detected with seismological approaches. However, our current knowledge on seismic properties of antigorite‐bearing rocks is limited, mostly hampered by a lack of experimental constraints on single‐crystal elasticity of antigorite at relevant pressures. In this study, state‐of‐the‐art techniques were employed to produce the first experimental description of the complete high‐pressure elasticity of antigorite single crystals. Our experimental data set was implemented in the modeling of seismic properties of antigorite‐bearing rocks at pressures relevant for subduction. Our results were used to discuss the relation between seismic wave path and shear wave anisotropy in serpentinized slabs, and challenge the use of shear wave splitting as a proxy for serpentinization in slabs.
    Description: Key Points: Single‐crystal elasticity of antigorite at high pressures is determined by Brillouin spectroscopy and X‐ray diffraction experiments. Seismic signature of serpentinized slabs is constrained in a relevant composition‐pressure space. Serpentinization in slabs may be undetectable through shear wave anisotropy.

    Description: Geological maps are complex to produce through intensive and expensive field studies. Comparisons of geophysical data with geological conditions are difficult and often only qualitatively possible. The following work therefore examines an automated procedure to better reconcile this information. For this purpose, the terracing method, and a cluster analysis of potential field (gravity and magnetic field) and petrophysical data from the Karasjok and Ligurian Sea regions are used to interpret this geophysical measurements in a geological way. Two different tectonic regions were selected: (1) The Karasjok region is located in Northern Norway, where the Karasjok Greenstone Belt (KGB) dominates geological settings, consisting of abundant ultramafic intrusions, komatiites, gabbroic intrusions, amphibolites and migmatites. (2) The Ligurian-Provençal basin, part of the Western Mediterranean Sea, which is located between the French-Italian coastline and the island of Corsica. Geologically the area is characterised by the spreading zone in the Western Mediterranean. The high-resolution Airborne Gravity Gradient Survey and aeromagnetic datasets of the Karasjok region cover an area of 20 km x 30 km with a data resolution of 50 m. The dataset of the Ligurian basin cover a much larger area with the resolution of 5 km. Data constraints come from former LOBSTER and LISA campaigns and a study in the research group at CAU Kiel, new compilation of the AlpArray Gravity Research Group (AAGRG), besides data of the ICGEM Potsdam (disturbance) and the GOCE mission. By aid of the terracing algorithm, the boundaries of the anomalies are to be sharpened and regions with constant field amplitude were generated. For this purpose, a shape index-based algorithm was applied, which uses the shape index calculated at each field point to grade the function. Through an iterative process and the variation of parameters, the terracing result is refined. The resulting data sets are then further processed using a cluster analysis method. Here, the k-mean algorithm for domain classification is used to divide the geophysical measurement data into groups (cluster) of similar properties. The number of clusters k is specified and the data points are assigned to the respective clusters through an iterative process. Using the data of the datasets mentioned above the results of this applications are successfully compared with the corresponding geological maps of the two areas.

    Description: Der Hessische Erdbebenkatalog ist eine Zusammenstellung historischer und aktueller Informationen zu Erdbeben in Hessen und direkter Umgebung von Hessen. Er wird vom Hessischen Erdbebendienst geführt und regelmäßig aktualisiert. Eine 50 km-Umhüllende wurde um Hessen herum gelegt, um auch Erdbeben und die dazugehörenden Bereiche zu betrachten, die Auswirkungen auf Hessen haben können. Eine Vollständigkeit wird jedoch nur für das Gebiet des Landes Hessen angestrebt. Für den seismischen Katalog Hessen (SKHe2022) wurden verschiedene, verfügbare Erdbebenkataloge und Ausarbeitungen zu Grunde gelegt. Des Weiteren beinhaltet der Katalog Ereignisse aus mehreren wissenschaftlichen Publikationen. Das Stichdatum für den Katalog ist der 31.12.2021. Der Erdbebenkatalog Hessen wird auch in Zukunft fortgeschrieben und ist damit als Zwischenstand zu sehen. In Zukunft wird er halbjährig aktualisiert und der Öffentlichkeit über den Geologie-Viewer des Hessischen Landesamtes für Naturschutz, Umwelt und Geologie unter geologie.hessen.de zur Verfügung gestellt. Im seismischen Katalog Hessen werden fünf Zeiträume beschrieben. Dabei handelt es sich für den Zeitraum 800 bis 1700 um Daten, die aus Chroniken ermittelt wurden. Für den Zeitraum 1701 bis 1950 beruhen viele der älteren Ereignisse auf makroseismischen Daten. Durch den aufkommenden Zeitungsdruck wurden wesentlich mehr Daten erhoben als in dem Zeitraum davor. Seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts wurden dann auch Erdbeben instrumentell aufgezeichnet. Das analog-instrumentelle Zeitalter wird für den Zeitraum 1951 bis 1975 angegeben. Das digital-instrumentelle Zeitalter gilt ab 1976. Es wurde eine Priorisierung der einzelnen Erdbebenereignisse, wenn mehrere Ereignisse von unterschiedlichen Quellen aufgezeichnet wurden, durchgeführt. In der aktuellen Version sind sämtliche bekannte induzierte Ereignisse identifiziert worden. In der veröffentlichten Version sind diese induzierten Ereignisse nicht mehr enthalten, so dass der Erdbebenkatalog des Landes Hessen als rein tektonischer, auf natürlichen Erdbeben basierender, Erdbebenkatalog angesehen werden kann. Die stärksten historischen Erdbeben traten in den Jahren 858, 1733 und 1858 in Mainz, 1619 im südlichen Taunus, 1767 in Rothenburg/Fulda, sowie als Erdbebenschwarm in Groß-Gerau (1869-1871), 1871 in Lorsch und im Odenwald auf. Das stärkste Erdbeben in den letzten Jahren fand im Jahr 2014 bei Ober-Ramstadt im Odenwald mit einer Magnitude von 4,2 statt.

    Description: Aeromagnetic surveys help us to learn about geology. To achieve good coverage, surveys need to be merged. However, conventional methods introduce long-wavelength bias and cannot handle the individual survey quality. We develop a new approach to process large aeromagnetic surveys with an equivalent layer approach and combine them with satellite data. To facilitate the usage of large data sets, we divide the study area into blocks and treat each block individually. We adjust the block size according to the resolution of the equivalent source model. Within each block we solve for equivalent sources using an iterative linear inversion with Tikhonov regularization. We apply a multi-resolution strategy by iteratively decreasing the dipole spacing, dipole depth and block size. In each step, the resolution is applied to the residual of the previous steps. This ensures both a good representation of the large and small-scale structures as well as reasonable computational costs. Advantages of the blockwise inversion are the handling with large data sets due to splitting up the study area and neglecting influences of sources above a certain distance. This reduces computational costs and still fits the data well in comparison with an unblocked inversion. Some structures cannot be resolved well with just one dipole layer, so the multi-resolution strategy enables to have a better fit by separating regional and local sources. For the final compilation, we replace the long wavelengths part of the aeromagnetic data with satellite data to spherical harmonic degree 110. We demonstrate our new approach with a newly compiled large data base for Greenland.

    Description: In Folge des Klimawandels kommt es in Mitteleuropa vermehrt zu Dürreperioden und Austrocknung von Böden. Indem tief- und flachwurzelnde Nutzpflanzen sinnvoll kombiniert werden, kann die Verfügbarkeit von Wasser teils auch ohne künstliche Bewässerungsmaßnahmen verbessert werden. Die Tiefwurzler erschließen tiefer gelegenes Wasser und können es so umverteilen (‚hydraulische Umverteilung‘), dass auch benachbarte Flachwurzler mit Wasser versorgt werden. Mit dem Ziel eine solche Umverteilung von Wasser durch Pflanzen mithilfe geoelektrischer Methoden zu untersuchen, wurde in dieser Studie ein Versuchsaufbau entwickelt und getestet. Auf 23 Feldern wurden verschiedene Kombinationen der Pflanzen beobachtet. Dafür wurden sowohl Oberflächenmessungen mittels Gleichstromgeoelektrik, als auch Bohrlochmessungen mittels Spektraler Induzierter Polarisation (SIP) durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse wurden mit konventionellen Bodenfeuchtemessgeräten (time domain reflectometry, TDR) verglichen, welche die Bodenfeuchte nur punktuell erfassen können. Für die Bohrlochmessungen wurde ein experimenteller Aufbau zur Beobachtung der räumlichen Verteilung des Wassers im Untergrund umgesetzt. Um eine hohe Auflösung im Bereich der flachen Wurzeln zu erreichen, wurde ein bohrlochartiges System genutzt. Dieses besteht aus metallischen Ringelektroden, die an einem Holzstab befestigt sind, der senkrecht in den Boden eingebracht wird. Die Elektroden haben dabei nahe der Oberfläche die kleinsten Abstände (5cm), da in diesem Bereich die Wurzeln der Tief- und Flachwurzler gemeinsam vorkommen. Hier soll die Auflösung möglichst hoch sein, damit die Wasserumverteilung gut beobachtet werden kann. Mit zunehmender Tiefe nehmen die Elektrodenabstände zu. Hier ist eine geringere Auflösung ausreichend, da nur die Tiefwurzler Wasser aufnehmen. Da die Stäbe bereits vor dem Sähen der Pflanzen in den Boden gebracht wurden, war ein Monitoring über mehrere Monate möglich: Zur Aussaat der Pflanzen Ende März, während des Wachstums und im September während eines finalen Bewässerungsexperimentes. Die bisherigen Auswertungen der Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sich die zeitliche Entwicklung der Bodenfeuchte anhand der geoelektrischen Daten gut nachvollziehen lässt und im Gegensatz zu den TDR-Daten auch die räumliche Verteilung hoch aufgelöst (〈5cm) erfasst werden kann. Die Oberflächenmessungen zeigen, dass die Schichtung des Bodens über die Plots variiert, was sich auf die Vergleichbarkeit der Ergebnisse auswirken kann.

    Description: Recent years have shown an increased interest in Polar research and in particular in understanding tectonics and seismic hazard in the Arctic. To understand the seismic activity in the European Arctic, the seismic bulletins should be as complete as possible. We present a new seismic event bulletin for the European Arctic (70° – 90° N, -15° – 75° E), for the 24-year long period 1990 – 2013. The poster will show in detail the merging of the different sources taken in account for the compilation, the homogenization of the data and the relocation of the seismic events. With respect to the ISC bulletin for this region, the new bulletin contains 5,932 new seismic events and 54,630 new seismic onset readings from stations mostly located at regional distances. The gains are distributed over the entire study region, with the most significant contributions across the Svalbard Archipelago, along the Knipovich and northern Mohns Ridges, as well as northern Fennoscandia.

    Description: During the last few years, the use of Ground-Penetrating-Radar (GPR) multi-channel antenna arrays in the Archaeological Prospection increased dramatically. The main advantage of this type of survey is a much faster data acquisition combined with a dense profile spacing. However, most of the common multi-channel arrays consist of antennae with a spacing of not smaller than 8 cm. The aim of our test survey was to evaluate how an even denser spacing of 4 cm that is provided by the IDS Stream-C GPR device at a centre frequency of 600 MHz can improve the detection of small archaeological features. As a test site, we chose the Great Bath in Kempten-Cambodunum. This first capital of the Roman province Rhaetia never has been overbuilt in the following centuries and even today it is used as a grassland declared as an Archaeological Park. Already in 1911, the Great Bath was excavated and beside the walls of different building phases, also small features like a multitude of hypocaust pillars were unearthed. Hence, this building structure depicts an ideal test site and a 40x40m grid covering the main part of the construction was chosen for the application of the antenna array. As a comparison, the same grid was contemporaneously surveyed with a single antenna IDS Duo device (600 and 200 MHz) and a 50 cm profile spacing. Regarding the walls of the Roman bath, the two surveys show comparable results: both datasets represent the stone constructions of 50 – 90 cm width quite well. Furthermore, the depth slices of both devices provide a differentiation of the single building phases. Nevertheless, the resolution for the multi-channel antenna array is of course much higher due to the denser profile spacing. Huger differences occur for the hypocaust pillars of 25 cm lateral length. These features can be mapped in detail with the 4 cm profile spacing of the IDS Stream-C system. Whereas the IDS Duo can only resolve some of the hypocausts, a multitude of them gets visible between 70 and 110 cm depth in the Stream-C data. As a conclusion, it can be stated that standard archaeological remains like stone walls, for sure, can be surveyed with single antenna GPR devices in a common profile spacing of 50 cm. However, in case of the existence of faint archaeological features the application of ultra-dense antenna arrays like the IDS Stream-C is advisable to get a comprehensive overview of a site without the necessity to excavate them.

    Description: Mit dem zerstörungsfreien Verfahren der nuklear magnetischen Resonanz (NMR) mit Fokus auf 1H-Protonen lässt sich der Feuchtegehalt in porösen Materialien bestimmen und bei einem vollgesättigten Medium eine Porengrößenverteilung ableiten. Für die Ermittlung der Porengrößenverteilung muss die gemessene T2-Relaxationszeitenverteilung mit dem Parameter Oberflächenrelaxivität (OR) umgerechnet werden. Ist dieser Parameter für das zu untersuchende Medium unbekannt, kann dieser mithilfe von Vergleichsverfahren abgeschätzt werden. Dabei kommen z. B. Gassorption, Quecksilberporosimetrie (MIP), Dünnschliff-Mikroskopie oder µ-Computer-Tomographie (µ-CT) zum Einsatz. Da die verschiedenen Verfahren allerdings unterschiedliche Auflösungsgrenzen aufweisen und auf verschiedenen physikalischen Prinzipien beruhen, können die ermittelten ORs für ein Medium stark variieren. Um ein besseres Verständnis für die OR und die Einflüsse der Vergleichsverfahren zu bekommen, wurden 19 verschiedene Sandsteintypen untersucht. Die OR wurde zum einen basierend auf der spezifischen inneren Oberfläche aus der dynamischen Dampfsorption (DVS) und der Gassorption abgeleitet. Zum anderen wurden die Relaxationszeitenverteilungen durch manuelles Anpassen der OR derart in Porengrößenverteilungen umgerechnet, sodass es eine Übereinstimmung mit den Porengrößenverteilungen aus MIP und/oder µ-CT gibt. Die Umrechnung von Relaxationszeitverteilungen in eine Porengrößenverteilung berücksichtigt dabei sowohl fast- als auch slow-diffusion. Insgesamt ergab sich für die Sandsteine ein breites Spektrum an ORs, bei dem die über die innere spezifische Oberfläche ermittelten ORs andere Größenordnungen aufwiesen (〈 10 µm/s), als bei dem Vergleich mit MIP oder µ-CT (bis 600 µm/s). Die mit MIP und µ-CT ermittelten Werten lagen dabei um einen Faktor von 1 bis 30 auseinander. Dieser umfangreiche Datensatz, der vier verschiedene Vergleichsverfahren einbezieht, soll neue Erkenntnisse in der Charakterisierung von porösen Materialien (z. B. bezüglich der Oberflächenrauigkeit) und in der Ursache für die starke Variation der OR ermöglichen. Durch das Berücksichtigen von fast- als auch slow-diffusion, können dabei sogar Daten in eine Porengrößenverteilung umgerechnet werden, bei denen das fast-diffusion-Kriterium nach Brownstein und Tarr nicht erfüllt ist. Außerdem ergibt sich aus der Berücksichtigung des slow-diffusion-Regimes ein neues Verständnis für die obere Auflösungsgrenze von NMR.

    Description: Das Poster präsentiert die Ergebnisse des kombinierten Einsatzes von NMR und LIBS zur Verfolgung von Feuchtigkeit und Schadionen in Baustoffen. Es wurden dazu mit zwei Sandsteine und zwei zementäre Baustoffe kapillare Saugversuche durchgeführt. Die Materialien wurden 5 mm tief in Natriumchloridlösungen einer Konzentration von 1 mol/l und 4 mol/l getaucht. Mit NMR wurde der Feuchteanstieg, mit LIBS der Chloridionenanstieg ermittelt. Ergebnisse sind unter anderem, dass die Feuchte den Ionen immer vorauseilt. Außerdem ist die Anstiegsgeschwindigkeit direkt abhängig vom Porensystem und von der Lösungskonzentration.

    Description: The Floodrisk project takes a muti- and interdisciplinary look on the effects of the rise in mine water level in abandoned coal mine regions in Germany. Such effects are heterogeneous ground uplift, stress changes due to the pore pressure changes and the reactivation potential of faults. One of the most directly measurable effects is the induced seismicity. It is known from previous studies that the flooding of old mines can lead to a renewed increase in induced microseismicity in these regions. We focused on the observation of the eastern Ruhr area and investigate in detail the relationship between mine water rise and induced seismicity in the Haus Aden dewatering area. For this purpose, we operate a network of up to 30 short period seismic stations in the region of the former "Bergwerk Ost" colliery, which had the highest seismicity rate in the Ruhr area during active mining. Continuous monitoring of seismicity and mine water levels is available for this region from the active mining phase, through the post-mining phase to flooding. Since the beginning of the flooding, more than 20000 onsets were picked and over 1700 induced events were localised in a magnitude range from -0.7 up to 2.6 MLv. For some larger events, focal mechanisms could be determined. The spatial distribution of hypocentres is divided into two areas, with few events in the central study area and over 95% of earthquakes in its eastern part. Many of these events are spatially clustered and some show quite high waveform similarity. This allows relative localisation to increase the accuracy of the location. Comparing the old galleries,which today serve as the main underground waterways, with the localisations from the relative localisation, strong correlations can be seen. The measured temporal trend of the mine water level, after pumps were shut down in mid-2019, shows a strong correlation with the temporal evolution of the observed micro seismicity. In the first months after the pumps are switched off, the water levels at the observation points rise only slowly and isolated microseismic events occur again. In November 2019, the rise in water levels doubled and at the same time, the strongest induced event in the measurement period was recorded with a magnitude of 2.6 MLv. In the years 2020, 2021 66 and 58 events 〉= MLv 1 were observed, respectively. In contrast to this number only 2- 9 events 〉= MLv 1 per year were observed in the post-minig phase before flooding.

    Description: In the last few years, several Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) based magnetometer systems have been tested for archaeological prospection. Due to their higher sensitivity, scalar magnetometers have been preferred as test sensors. However, total field magnetometer are vulnerable to disturbances, especially those generated by the UAV itself. Therefore, most UAV scalar magnetometer systems use the method of increasing the distance between magnetic sensors and the UAV to reduce interference. But freely suspended sensors tend to swing on ropes under the UAV and can produce data that are strongly influenced by heading errors. For our test, we therefore chose the UAV-fixed, compact setup of the SENSYS MagDrone R4, which is equipped with five three-axis FGM3D/75 fluxgate sensors at 50 cm spacing and is covering a swath width of 2.5 m. The 200Hz sampling rate of the R4 allows easy filtering of interference generated by the UAV and external disturbances like power lines or infrastructure. Magnetograms with a spatial resolution of up to 0.20 m per pixel were produced from the data. At Ganacker, we chose the former infrastructure core of the World War II German Air Force airfield as a test site. A wide range of archaeological structures and features with high magnetic contrast were expected on this area. The test site is currently an open agricultural area with a quite flat terrain. Hence, the R4 could be operated at a fixed flight height of just one metre above the surface of the terrain that is controlled actively by a radar sensor. An area of around 110 hectares were prospected within only four days. The MagDrone R4 system thus offers an outstanding survey area progress that cannot even reached by common vehicle-moved multi-sensor arrays. Here, we present the first results of this test survey by comparing the magnetograms, historical and current geodata. Most of the expected archaeological features and several unknown ones were detected by the R4 system. Our results show that the R4 system is well suited for mapping large archaeological structures with high magnetisations. In the future, we want to compare the R4 data with data from a ground-based fluxgate magnetometer. We also want to test whether the system is suitable for detecting archaeological features that have lower magnetic susceptibility and remanence contrasts with the surrounding soil.

    Description: Das Ziel des COSC-2 (Collisonal Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides) Projektes ist es, die Entstehungsprozesse der Skanden zu untersuchen. Hierfür sind Kenntnisse über die Deformationen / Faltungsprozesse von großer Wichtigkeit, die sich aus der Richtung der remanenten Magnetisierung ableiten lassen. Die teufenabhängigen Magnetisierungsvektoren lassen sich aus dreikomponetigen Bohrlochmagnetikdaten berechnen. Als Datengrundlage dienen Messungen, die mit einem Dipmeter in der COSC2-Bohrung in Järpen (Schweden) durchgeführt wurden. Es wurden 5 Messungen mit 1cm Messpunktabstand in verschiedenen Teufenbereichen zwischen 100m und 2250m Teufe aufgezeichnet. Anhand der in der Sonde verbauten Accelerometer und dem bekannten Verlauf der Bohrung konnten die Magnetfelddaten in das geographische Referenzsystem reorientiert werden. Die erreichte Genauigkeit beträgt 1,5° in der Deklination und 0,16° in der Inklination. Um die Magnetisierung der durchbohrten Gesteinseinheiten zu bestimmen wird an die reorientierten Magnetfelddaten ein Schichtmodell nach Bosum et al (1988) angepasst. Dieses Modell nähert die Schichten durch zentral durchbohrte Zylinder. Das Modell von Bosum geht von einem Zylinder aus, der senkrecht zu den Deckflächen zentral durchbohrt wird. In der COSC-2 Bohrung ist aber zum einen das Bohrloch geneigt, zum anderen weisen auch die durchbohrten Schichten eine Neigung auf. Aus diesem Grund erweitern wir das Bosum-Modell nach Ehmann (2016) für beliebige Schichtinklinationen. Die Schichtmächtigkeiten werden durch die Lithologie der Bohrung bestimmt, die aus den Bohrkernen abgeleitet wurde. Eine erste Analyse zeigt, dass in den oberen 1200m der Bohrung nur schwach magnetisierte Gesteine vorherrschen. Darunter folgen stärker magnetisierte-Schichten, die im Mittel eine Magnetisierung von 1A/m aufweisen. Im Bereich von 1590m bis 1850m befindet sich eine stark magnetisierte Sektion, die sich in vier Bereiche aufteilen lässt. Die Magnetisierung in dieser Sektion beträgt bis zu 5 A/m. In der stark magnetisierten Sektion können zwei Bereiche identifiziert werden, in denen die Inklination der Magnetisierungen von 40° auf bis zu 80° ansteigt. Die beiden Bereiche mit hoher Inklination weichen in ihrer Deklination von der mittleren Deklination der Sektion um +90° und -90° ab. Diese Variationen deuten auf Deformationen der Gesteinsschichten hin. Unterhalb dieser Sektion schließt sich eine Sektion mit Magnetisierungen von etwa 1 A/m und Inklinationen von etwa 15° an.

    Description: Knowledge sharing in academia has been considered indispensable and is becoming a priority in most European funding schemes. Although we are already quite familiar with the different possibilities to publish our results in open-access journals, open science means way more than that. Open science aims at opening up research processes and granting access to research outputs to researchers, professionals and amateur scientists. There are different ways to ensure the storage and reusability of our data, making it available to other scientists. Furthermore, most of the scientific disciplines migrate their analyses to open-source environments (e.g., R, Phyton). However, tons of code produced remain stored in our personal computers either because we do not know the appropriate tools to share them with our colleagues or because we believe that it is not well structured. In this short course, you would learn how to establish links between publications, data, software and methods. Hence, we will discuss with our experts: i) the options to share our data and code with other peers, ii) obtain some tips to better organize our scripts, and iii) uncover potential barriers to sharing research and discuss possible solutions.

    Description: The rise of Open Science practices is impacting the entire scientific publishing culture. The transition to Open Access for text publications goes hand in hand with the growing demand to make scientific data and software available to the general public. The FAIR data principles play a key role in this, designed to make research and the underlying data easily findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable for humans and machines. Geosciences data are as diverse as their content. They range from large real-time data streams of international observing networks to small data sets produced by individual researchers at their laboratories. Consequently, there need to be different strategies for data management and publication in which research data repositories can be important partners for the researchers. The Specialised Information Service for Geoscience (FID GEO) is a DFG-funded project that is promoting a holistic approach of Open Science that includes scholarly literature, data, samples, and scientific software equally and pushes for their interlinkage. FID GEO has become an important player for connecting researchers, data repositories, information infrastructures, German geoscientific societies, and publishers. FID GEO actively provides data and text publishing services through its affiliated repositories GFZ Data Services and GEO-LEOe-docs, as well as on-demand digitization of printed geoscience literature and maps. In addition, FID GEO aims to inform the German-based geoscience community about all aspects of Open Science and FAIR data by bringing the discussions to the individual disciplines through various communication channels.

    Description: The shift towards Open Science practices is increasingly demanded by science policy. The transition to Open Access for text publications goes hand in hand with a growing demand to make data, scientific software and samples, freely and FAIRly available to the general public. A persistent problem here is the clear and permanent accessibility and re-usability of scientific publications. This development affects both the scientific publication culture as well as the information infrastructures and poses major challenges to the German- based geosciences community. The specialized information service for geosciences (FID GEO) is a service funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and supports the cultural change towards Open Access publications. Hereby, FID GEO pursues a holistic approach to Open Science, including scientific literature, data, samples, and scientific software, and aims to promote their interconnection. FID GEO actively provides data and text publishing services through the affiliated repositories GFZ Data Services and GEO-LEOe-docs, as well as an on-demand digitization service of printed geoscientific literature and maps. The focus here is on the services and information systems that ensure permanently available and reliably citable publications of writings and data. Specifically, the service for text publications is provided in the FID GEOs own subject repository GEO-LEOe- docs. The affiliated research data repository GFZ Data Services is available for the publication of research data and scientific software from the earth and environmental sciences. In addition, FID GEO aims to comprehensively inform the German-based geoscientific community about Open Science and FAIR data by bringing the discussions to the individual disciplines through various communication channels. To strengthen the open information culture in the geosciences, FID GEO collaborates with strategic (inter)national initiatives such as NFDI4Earth, COPDESS and OneGeochemistry.

    Description: The Berlin Declaration from 2003 was the starting point for Open Access to scholarly publications. Today, however, we speak about Open Science that reaches far beyond Open Access and represents collaborative, transparent and accessible research that includes all kinds of research results: scholarly literature, research data, software, samples, instruments, etc. In addition, efforts such as the FAIR Principles and the Enabling FAIR Data Commitment Statement, combined with increasing demands for machine accessibility to data, have raised user expectations towards the capabilities of research data repositories and datacentres. These repositories are often key partners supporting researchers in fulfilling the new requirements. This presentation will draw the line from major statements and requirements of Open Science, delineate the role of research data repositories as well as major research infrastructures, like the fNFDI4Earth or EPOS (European Plate Observing System) are additional players in making research data accessible in harmonised form.

    Description: Als DFG-geförderter Service der Niedersächsischen Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen (SUB) und des Deutschen GeoForschungsZentrums GFZ unterstützt der Fachinformationsdienst Geowissenschaften (FID GEO) den Wandel in der Forschungs- und Publikationskultur hin zu Open Science. Die freie Zugänglichkeit, aber auch Praktiken wie die korrekte Dokumentation und Verknüpfung verschiedener Forschungsbestandteile und Veröffentlichungsformate (Probenregistrierung, Datenpublikation, Texte, Karten, Software), stehen hier im Fokus. Der FID GEO bietet mit dem von der SUB Göttingen betriebenen Fachrepositorium GEO-LEOe-docs eine sachgerechte Open-Access-Publikation geowissenschaftlicher Werke an. Liegen diese nur gedruckt vor, übernimmt der FID GEO auch die unentgeltliche und professionelle Digitalisierung im Vorfeld der Online-Veröffentlichung. Seit 2021 ist die Telma auf der Startseite von GEO-LEOe-docs als fortlaufende Netzpublikation prominent hervorgehoben. Bereits seit 2018 erscheint sie parallel zum Druck als frei zugängliche Online-Publikation auf GEO-LEOe-docs. Ein großer Teil älterer TELMA-Artikel konnte digitalisiert und ebenfalls online gestellt werden. Die neueren Entwicklungen im FID GEO, darunter die Einbindung von ORCID und fortlaufenden Netzpublikationen im Repositorium, werden vorgestellt. Auch hat sich das jährliche DownloadVolumen von GEO-LEOe-docs in den letzten vier Jahren (2021 gegenüber 2017) verzehnfacht. Dass die Wissenschaft insgesamt besser vorankommt, wenn vorhergehende Forschungsergebnisse den Forschenden umfassender zugänglich sind, versteht sich. Doch auch für Autor*innen ist die frei zugängliche Publikation ihrer Ergebnisse im Open Access von Vorteil, da sie zu einer erhöhten Verbreitung der Veröffentlichungen führt, die folglich auch häufiger zitiert werden. Ebenso profitieren die Journale davon, da sich ihre Reichweite und damit die Beliebtheit der Zeitschrift erhöht. www.fidgeo.de https://e-docs.geo-leo.de/

    Description: Observations in polar regions show that sea ice deformations are often narrow linear features. These long bands of deformations are referred to as Linear Kinematic Features (LKFs). Viscous‐plastic sea ice models have the capability to simulate LKFs and more generally sea ice deformations. Moreover, viscous‐plastic models simulate a larger number and more refined LKFs as the spatial resolution is increased. Besides grid spacing, other aspects of a numerical implementation, such as the placement of velocities and the associated degrees of freedom, may impact the formation of simulated LKFs. To explore these effects this study compares numerical solutions of sea ice models with different velocity staggering in a benchmark problem. Discretizations based on A‐,B‐, and C‐grid systems on quadrilateral meshes have similar resolution properties as an approximation with an A‐grid staggering on triangular grids (with the same total number of vertices). CD‐grid approximations with a given grid spacing have properties, specifically the number and length of simulated LKFs, that are qualitatively similar to approximations on conventional Arakawa A‐grid, B‐grid, and C‐grid approaches with half the grid spacing or less, making the CD‐discretization more efficient with respect to grid resolution. One reason for this behavior is the fact that the CD‐grid approach has a higher number of degrees of freedom to discretize the velocity field. The higher effective resolution of the CD‐discretization makes it an attractive alternative to conventional discretizations.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Sea ice in the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans plays an important role in the exchange of heat and freshwater between the atmosphere and the ocean and hence in the climate in general. Satellite observations of polar regions show that the ice drift sometimes produces long features that are either cracks (leads) and zones of thicker sea ice (pressure ridges). This phenomenon is called deformation. It is mathematically described by the non‐uniform way in which the ice moves. For numerical models of sea ice motion it is difficult to represent this deformation accurately. Details of the numerics may affect the way these models simulate leads and ridges, their number and length. Specifically, we find by comparing different numerical models, that the way the model variables are ordered on a computational grid to solve the mathematical equations of sea ice motion has an effect of how many deformation features can be represented on a grid with a given spacing between grid points. A new discretization (ordering of model variables) turns out to resolve more details of the approximated field than traditional methods.
    Description: Key Points: The placement of the sea ice velocity has a mayor influence on the number of simulated linear kinematic features (LKFs). The CD‐grid resolves twice as many LKFs compared to A, B, C‐grids. A, B, C‐grids on quadrilateral meshes resolve a similar number of LKFs as A‐grids on triangular meshes (with the same total number of nodes).

    Description: The transient climate response (TCR) is 20% higher in the Alfred Wegener Institute Climate Model (AWI‐CM) compared to the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI‐ESM) whereas the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is by up to 10% higher in AWI‐CM. These results are largely independent of the two considered model resolutions for each model. The two coupled CMIP6 models share the same atmosphere‐land component ECHAM6.3 developed at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology (MPI‐M). However, ECHAM6.3 is coupled to two different ocean models, namely the MPIOM sea ice‐ocean model developed at MPI‐M and the FESOM sea ice‐ocean model developed at the Alfred Wegener Institute, Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research (AWI). A reason for the different TCR is related to ocean heat uptake in response to greenhouse gas forcing. Specifically, AWI‐CM simulations show stronger surface heating than MPI‐ESM simulations while the latter accumulate more heat in the deeper ocean. The vertically integrated ocean heat content is increasing slower in AWI‐CM model configurations compared to MPI‐ESM model configurations in the high latitudes. Weaker vertical mixing in AWI‐CM model configurations compared to MPI‐ESM model configurations seems to be key for these differences. The strongest difference in vertical ocean mixing occurs inside the Weddell and Ross Gyres and the northern North Atlantic. Over the North Atlantic, these differences materialize in a lack of a warming hole in AWI‐CM model configurations and the presence of a warming hole in MPI‐ESM model configurations. All these differences occur largely independent of the considered model resolutions.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The transient climate response (TCR) describes how strongly near‐surface temperatures warm in response to gradually increasing greenhouse‐gas levels. Here we investigate the role of the ocean which takes up heat and thereby delays the surface warming. Two models of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6), the Alfred Wegener Institute Climate Model (AWI‐CM) and the Max Planck Institute Earth System Model (MPI‐ESM), which use the same atmosphere model but different ocean models are selected for this study. In AWI‐CM the upper ocean layers heat faster than in MPI‐ESM, while the opposite is true for the deep ocean. As a consequence, the TCR is 20% stronger in AWI‐CM compared to MPI‐ESM. We find that weaker vertical ocean mixing in AWI‐CM compared to MPI‐ESM, especially over the northern North Atlantic and the Weddell and Ross Gyres, is key for these differences. Our findings corroborate the importance of realistic ocean mixing in climate models when it comes to getting the strength and timing of climate change right.
    Description: Key Points: The transient climate response in two coupled models with the same atmosphere but different ocean components differs by 20%. The upper (deeper) ocean heats faster (slower) in AWI‐CM compared to MPI‐ESM, independent of model resolution. Vertical mixing in the northern North Atlantic and the Weddell and Ross Gyres appears to be key for these differences.

    Description: In the hyperarid Atacama Desert in northern Chile, rare precipitation events can leave long‐lasting geomorphological traces and have strong impacts on biota. While moisture conveyor belts (MCBs) and atmospheric rivers (ARs) have been associated with extreme precipitation in semiarid regions, their role for the Atacama Desert has not been previously investigated. This study reveals that about four MCBs per year make landfall in the Atacama Desert. According to simulated precipitation, 40–80% of the total precipitation between the coast and the Andean foothills is associated with MCBs. A case study reveals an elevated moisture transport decoupled from the maritime boundary layer, which is generalized by a composite analysis. Back trajectories reveal the Amazon Basin as the main source of moisture. MCB landfall times are derived from the AR catalog by Guan and Waliser (2015), https://doi.org/10.1002/2015jd024257. Implications of the results on paleoclimate reconstructions are discussed.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: In the extremely dry Atacama Desert in northern Chile, rare rain events can trigger landscape alterations and have strong impacts on various life forms. Traces of such events are conserved within the desert soil over long time periods throughout the enduring dryness. Such traces constitute climate archives, which can be excavated and explored. Understanding particular conditions, which lead to extreme precipitation events is necessary to interpret such archives, reconstruct climate history, and explore thresholds of life at the dry limit. In this study, the role of a weather phenomenon called moisture conveyor belt (MCB) is quantified for the first time for the Atacama Desert. It is demonstrated that depending on region, 40–80% of the total rainfall is associated with these phenomena. In contrast to atmospheric river characteristics reported for midlatitudes, a unique vertical structure with an elevated moisture transport independent of the near‐surface layer is discovered here. Even though the identified MCBs approach the Atacama Desert from northwesterly directions across the Pacific Ocean, the associated moisture mostly originates from the Amazon Basin.
    Description: Key Points: For most parts of the Atacama Desert, more than half of the total precipitation is related to moisture conveyor belts (MCBs). In contrast to midlatitudes, main moisture transport takes place in mid‐tropospheric layers decoupled from the maritime boundary layer. The main origin of the MCB‐related moisture is found to be the Amazon Basin.

    Description: Large artificial lakes and reservoirs affect the meteorological regime of the shore area and the local climate takes on a number of new features that were previously absent. This work focuses on the weather impact of the Alqueva reservoir, the largest artificial lake in Western Europe. An extensive set of numerical simulations using Meso‐NH mesoscale atmospheric model coupled with FLake (Freshwater Lake) scheme was carried out. The simulations covered a 12‐month period that was chosen to compose a so‐called Typical Meteorological Year. This artificial time period is meant to represent the typical meteorological conditions in the region and the model results are used to assess the changes in the local climate. To evaluate the raw impact of the reservoir, two different scenarios of simulations were compared: (A) with the reservoir as it exists nowadays and (B) without the reservoir using the older surface dataset. The results show decrease of air temperature during daytime (10–9°C) and nighttime increase (up to 10°C). In nearest towns, daily maximum temperature decreased and daily minimum temperature increased, which refers to milder weather conditions. Alqueva mainly showed suppression in fog formation in the nearby area. Local breeze regime was studied and monthly lake/land breezes were described.

    Description: Porosity is one of the key properties of fluvial sediments. It is defined as the ratio of pore volume to total volume. In river science, porosity is often assumed to be spatially constant, which might be a gross simplification of reality. Ignoring the spatial variations in porosity can cause errors in morphological, ecological, hydrological, hydrogeological and sedimentological applications. Although detailed information about spatial porosity variations can be obtained from porosity measurements at field sites, such information has never been collected where these variations might be important. In this study, field porosity measurements were carried out to quantify the magnitude of the spatial porosity variation for four different sedimentological environments of a braided river: a confluence, a tributary delta, a braid bar and a secondary channel. A nuclear density gauge was used for the measurement of porosity. The nuclear density gauge proved to be a time‐saving and labour‐saving technique that produces accurate porosity values with a root mean square error of 0.03. The four sedimentological environments showed significant differences in porosity, with mean porosity being lower for confluence and bar than for delta and secondary channel. Semi‐variogram analysis showed the absence of any spatial correlation in porosity for distances beyond 4 m. This shows that distance cannot be used as a parameter for porosity extrapolation in a fluvial system unless the extrapolation distance is less than 4 m. At least eight measurements of porosity are required to obtain a reliable estimate of mean porosity in a sedimentary environment, i.e. with uncertainty 〈0.03. Although grain size characteristics were found to have a significant impact on porosity, the relationships between these parameters and porosity were not very strong in this study. The unique porosity dataset, presented in this article, provides a valuable source of information for researchers and river managers.

    Description: With increasing resolution of numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, classical subgrid‐scale processes become increasingly resolved on the model grid. In particular, turbulence in the planetary boundary layer (PBL) is vertically already partially resolved in contemporary models. For classical local PBL schemes, resulting up‐gradient heat transports cannot be treated correctly. Thus, nonlocal turbulence schemes have been developed in the past. As the horizontal grid sizes of NWP models become smaller than a few kilometers, the large turbulence eddies in the PBL will also start to become partially resolved in the horizontal direction. A very flexible way to formulate nonlocal turbulent exchange is the transilient matrix method, which is used here to develop a new turbulence parameterization. The resulting NLT3D scheme applies transilient mixing matrices to subgrid‐scale transports in all three dimensions. We compare results of WRF real‐case simulations including our scheme, a classical local turbulence scheme (MYNN), and an existing nonlocal one‐dimensional scheme (ACM2) with observations from field campaigns over homogeneous terrain (CASES‐99) and complex terrain (CAPTEX). Over homogeneous terrain, all three schemes similarly well capture the observed surface fluxes and radiosonde profiles, whereas over complex terrain more differences become obvious. During a tracer release experiment (CAPTEX) over the Appalachian mountain region, the mixing and vertical extent of the PBL turn out to be decisive to reproduce the observed advection speed of the tracer‐marked air mass. Deeper mixing not only accelerates surface winds but also enables tracer to travel faster at higher altitudes and then mix back to the ground. As results from a version of NLT3D with only standard horizontal Smagorinsky diffusion (NLT1D) demonstrate, simulating three‐dimensional turbulence can be beneficial already at horizontal grid sizes of a few kilometers.
    Description: Decreasing grid sizes in numerical weather prediction models demand the inclusion of nonlocal effects and horizontal turbulence in turbulence parameterizations. This is the motivation for the development of the nonlocal three‐dimensional turbulence (NLT3D) scheme. Vertical nonlocal mixing accelerates the horizontal transport of near‐surface tracers by fast advection at higher altitudes (see figure), and horizontal turbulence enhances tracer dispersion. As validated by observations, both effects are beneficial to the forecast quality already at grid sizes of a few kilometers.

    Description: Compound weather and climate events are combinations of climate drivers and/or hazards that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Studying compound events often requires a multidisciplinary approach combining domain knowledge of the underlying processes with, for example, statistical methods and climate model outputs. Recently, to aid the development of research on compound events, four compound event types were introduced, namely (a) preconditioned, (b) multivariate, (c) temporally compounding, and (d) spatially compounding events. However, guidelines on how to study these types of events are still lacking. Here, we consider four case studies, each associated with a specific event type and a research question, to illustrate how the key elements of compound events (e.g., analytical tools and relevant physical effects) can be identified. These case studies show that (a) impacts on crops from hot and dry summers can be exacerbated by preconditioning effects of dry and bright springs. (b) Assessing compound coastal flooding in Perth (Australia) requires considering the dynamics of a non‐stationary multivariate process. For instance, future mean sea‐level rise will lead to the emergence of concurrent coastal and fluvial extremes, enhancing compound flooding risk. (c) In Portugal, deep‐landslides are often caused by temporal clusters of moderate precipitation events. Finally, (d) crop yield failures in France and Germany are strongly correlated, threatening European food security through spatially compounding effects. These analyses allow for identifying general recommendations for studying compound events. Overall, our insights can serve as a blueprint for compound event analysis across disciplines and sectors.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Many societal and environmental impacts from events such as droughts and storms arise from a combination of weather and climate factors referred to as a compound event. Considering the complex nature of these high‐impact events is crucial for an accurate assessment of climate‐related risk, for example to develop adaptation and emergency preparedness strategies. However, compound event research has emerged only recently, therefore our ability to analyze these events is still limited. In practice, studying compound events is a challenging task, which often requires interaction between experts across multiple disciplines. Recently, compound events were divided into four types to aid the framing of research on this topic, but guidelines on how to study these four types are missing. Here, we take a pragmatic approach and—focusing on case studies of different compound event types—illustrate how to address specific research questions that could be of interest to users. The results allow identifying recommendations for compound event analyses. Furthermore, through the case studies, we highlight the relevance that compounding effects have for the occurrence of landslides, flooding, vegetation impacts, and crop failures. The guidelines emerged from this work will assist the development of compound event analysis across disciplines and sectors.
    Description: Key Points: Using case studies representative of four main compound event types we show how compound event‐related research questions can be tackled. We present user‐friendly guidelines for compound event analysis applicable to different compound event types. We demonstrate that compound events cause vegetation impacts, coastal flooding, landslides, and continental‐scale crop yield failures.

    Description: Twenty‐first‐century climate change projections are uncertain, especially on regional scales. An important source of uncertainty is that climate models exhibit biases, which limits their ability to predict climate. One of the largest biases is the too warm sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern tropical Atlantic (TA), reflecting deficient atmospheric and oceanic circulation. Here, we show that CO2‐forced TA‐sector climate changes simulated by state‐of‐the‐art climate models exhibit a strong mean‐state dependence. In particular, models simulating largest SST warming in the eastern TA, consistent with the warming observed since the mid‐20th century, typically exhibit a more realistic mean state than models simulating largest warming in the western TA. The former models exhibit a larger climate sensitivity, and predict stronger and in part qualitatively different climate changes over the TA sector, for example in precipitation. These findings may help to reducing uncertainty in TA‐climate change projections.

    Description: Mixed sand‐ and gravel‐bed rivers record erosion, transport, and fining signals in their bedload size distributions. Thus, grain‐size data are imperative for studying these processes. However, collecting hundreds to thousands of pebble measurements in steep and dynamic high‐mountain river settings remains challenging. Using the recently published digital grain‐sizing algorithm PebbleCounts, we were able to survey seven large (≥ 1,000 m2) channel cross‐sections and measure thousands to tens‐of‐thousands of grains per survey along a 100‐km stretch of the trunk stream of the Toro Basin in Northwest Argentina. The study region traverses a steep topographic and environmental gradient on the eastern margin of the Central Andean Plateau. Careful counting and validation allows us to identify measurement errors and constrain percentile uncertainties using large sample sizes. In the coarse ≥2.5 cm fraction of bedload, only the uppermost size percentiles (≥95th) vary significantly downstream, whereas the 50th and 84th percentiles show less variability. We note a relation between increases in these upper percentiles and along‐channel junctions with large, steep tributaries. This signal is strongly influenced by lithology and geologic structures, and mixed with local hillslope input. In steep catchments like the Toro Basin, we suggest nonlinear relationships between geomorphic metrics and grain size, whereby the steepest parts of the landscape exert primary control on the upper grain‐size percentiles. Thus, average or median metrics that do not apply weights or thresholds to steeper topography may be less predictive of grain‐size distributions in such settings.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Rock fragments on hillsides are transported to rivers, eventually becoming pebbles, sand, and mud as they are carried downstream by flowing water. The initial size of the pebbles, the way the size changes downstream, and the overprinting of the sizes with new pebbles from other hills and tributaries all form a complex process that can be difficult to disentangle. Yet studying the size of the pebbles at a given stream location or in a sedimentary deposit can provide insights into the conditions of their transport in terms of local upstream patterns of erosion, tectonics, and climate. We show that just looking at the size of the large pebbles on a riverbed can be used to infer the sources of material, but, since there are fewer large pebbles, they require more measurements to quantify. This necessitates new methods for pebble measurement using modern image‐processing tools.
    Description: Key Points: Complex grain‐size distributions in dynamic mountain rivers can be computed via thousands of measurements from PebbleCounts. Many measurements allow robust estimation of higher percentiles and we observe the most significant changes in the ≥95th percentile. Downstream grain‐size variation is nonlinearly related to variations in topographic steepness and lithology.

    Description: Quantifying the anthropogenic fluxes of CO2 is important to understand the evolution of carbon sink capacities, on which the required strength of our mitigation efforts directly depends. For the historical period, the global carbon budget (GCB) can be compiled from observations and model simulations as is done annually in the Global Carbon Project's (GCP) carbon budgets. However, the historical budget only considers a single realization of the Earth system and cannot account for internal climate variability. Understanding the distribution of internal climate variability is critical for predicting the future carbon budget terms and uncertainties. We present here a decomposition of the GCB for the historical period and the RCP4.5 scenario using single‐model large ensemble simulations from the Max Planck Institute Grand Ensemble (MPI‐GE) to capture internal variability. We calculate uncertainty ranges for the natural sinks and anthropogenic emissions that arise from internal climate variability, and by using this distribution, we investigate the likelihood of historical fluxes with respect to plausible climate states. Our results show these likelihoods have substantial fluctuations due to internal variability, which are partially related to El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO). We find that the largest internal variability in the MPI‐GE stems from the natural land sink and its increasing carbon stocks over time. The allowable fossil fuel emissions consistent with 3 C warming may be between 9 and 18 Pg C yr−1. The MPI‐GE is generally consistent with GCP's global budgets with the notable exception of land‐use change emissions in recent decades, highlighting that human action is inconsistent with climate mitigation goals.
    Description: Key Points: We use a single‐model large ensemble to estimate uncertainties from internal climate variability in the global carbon budget. The land sink accounts for most internal climate uncertainty which may permit 9–18 Pg C yr−1 in allowable emissions by 2050 (for 3°C warming).

    Description: Water isotopologues, as natural tracers of the hydrological cycle on Earth, provide a unique way to assess the skill of climate models in representing realistic atmospheric‐terrestrial water pathways. This study presents the newly developed WRF‐Hydro‐iso, which is a version of the coupled atmospheric‐hydrological WRF‐Hydro model enhanced with a joint soil‐vegetation‐atmospheric description of water isotopologue motions. It allows the consideration of isotopic fractionation processes during water phase changes in the atmosphere, the land surface, and the subsurface. For validation, WRF‐Hydro‐iso is applied to two different climate zones, namely Europe and Southern Africa under the present climate conditions. Each case is modeled with a domain employing a 5 km grid‐spacing coupled with a terrestrial subgrid employing a 500 m grid‐spacing in order to represent lateral terrestrial water flow. A 10‐year slice is simulated for 2003–2012, using ERA5 reanalyses as driving data. The boundary condition of isotopic variables is prescribed with mean values from a 10‐year simulation with the Community Earth System Model Version 1. WRF‐Hydro‐iso realistically reproduces the climatological variations of the isotopic concentrations δPO18 and δPH2 from the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation. In a sensitivity analysis, it is found that land surface evaporation fractionation increases the isotopic concentrations in the rootzone soil moisture and slightly decreases the isotopic concentrations in precipitation. Lateral terrestrial water flow minorly affects these isotopic concentrations through changes in evaporation‐transpiration partitioning.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Global climate models are limited by their coarse resolution, which may reduce their meaningfulness. This problem can be circumvented for a specific region with regional climate models, which provide, for example, a detailed description of clouds and land‐atmosphere interactions. But it remains a question: How realistic is the model representation of water transport through the different compartments of the hydrological cycle, the atmosphere, the land, and the sea? A unique way to assess modeled water transport is the comparison to natural tracers, such as water isotopologues, which requires to include the fate of these water isotopologues in the model. This is what we pursue here with the newly developed WRF‐Hydro‐iso model. A model description and a proof of concept are provided for two climate zones, using the Global Network of Isotopes in Precipitation data set as reference.
    Description: Key Points: A new coupled atmospheric‐hydrological regional modeling system of water isotopologues is presented. Land surface evaporation fractionation increases the isotopic concentrations in the rootzone. Lateral terrestrial water flow has a minor effect on isotopic concentrations in the rootzone.

    Description: Weather regime forecasts are a prominent use case of sub‐seasonal prediction in the midlatitudes. A systematic evaluation and understanding of year‐round sub‐seasonal regime forecast performance is still missing, however. Here we evaluate the representation of and forecast skill for seven year‐round Atlantic–European weather regimes in sub‐seasonal reforecasts from the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts. Forecast calibration improves regime frequency biases and forecast skill most strongly in summer, but scarcely in winter, due to considerable large‐scale flow biases in summer. The average regime skill horizon in winter is about 5 days longer than in summer and spring, and 3 days longer than in autumn. The Zonal Regime and Greenland Blocking tend to have the longest year‐round skill horizon, which is driven by their high persistence in winter. The year‐round skill is lowest for the European Blocking, which is common for all seasons but most pronounced in winter and spring. For the related, more northern Scandinavian Blocking, the skill is similarly low in winter and spring but higher in summer and autumn. We further show that the winter average regime skill horizon tends to be enhanced following a strong stratospheric polar vortex (SPV), but reduced following a weak SPV. Likewise, the year‐round average regime skill horizon tends to be enhanced following phases 4 and 7 of the Madden–Julian Oscillation (MJO) but reduced following phase 2, driven by winter but also autumn and spring. Our study thus reveals promising potential for year‐round sub‐seasonal regime predictions. Further model improvements can be achieved by reduction of the considerable large‐scale flow biases in summer, better understanding and modeling of blocking in the European region, and better exploitation of the potential predictability provided by weak SPV states and specific MJO phases in winter and the transition seasons.
    Description: The overall sub‐seasonal forecast performance (biases and skill) for predicting seven year‐round Atlantic–European weather regimes is highest in winter and lowest in summer. The year‐round skill horizon is shortest for the European Blocking and longest for the Zonal Regime and Greenland Blocking (see figure). Furthermore, the winter skill horizon tends to be enhanced following a strong stratospheric polar vortex but reduced following a weak one. Madden–Julian Oscillation phases 4 and 7 tend to increase and phase 2 to decrease the year‐round skill horizon.

    Description: We investigate the glacial climate conditions in the southeastern Carpathian Basin (Vojvodina, Serbia) based on the reconstruction of malacological palaeotemperatures and results from a high‐resolution regional climate simulation. Land snail assemblages from eight loess profiles are used to reconstruct July temperatures during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The malacological reconstructed temperatures are in good agreement with the simulated LGM July temperatures by the Weather Research and Forecast model. Both methods indicate increasing temperatures from the northwestern towards the southeastern parts of the study area. LGM aridity indices calculated based on the regional climate model data suggest more arid conditions in the southeastern parts compared with more humid conditions in the northwestern parts. However, for present‐day conditions, the moisture gradient is reversed, exhibiting more humid (arid) conditions in the southeast (northwest). An explanation for the reversed LGM aridity pattern is provided by an analysis of the prevailing wind directions over the South Banat district (Serbia). The prevailing moist northwesterly winds during summer are not able to compensate for the annual lack of moisture induced by the dry winds from the southeast that are more frequent during the LGM for the other seasons.

    Description: The Tianshan Mountains, with their status as ‘water tower’, receive quantities of precipitation that are among the highest in Central Asia. There are considerable knowledge gaps regarding the understanding of spatial and temporal patterns of precipitation over this water‐scarce region. Based on the Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) data set, this study evaluated the precipitation variations over Tianshan Mountains on different time scales by using Mann‐Kendall (M‐K) test approaches and the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) method. The results show that (a) most parts of Tianshan experienced increasing annual precipitation during 1950–2016 while Western Tianshan, which is the wettest region, faced a downtrend of precipitation during the same 67 years; (b) the annual precipitation in the Tianshan Mountains has exhibited high‐frequency variations with 3‐ and 6‐year quasi‐periods and low‐frequency variations with 12‐, 27‐year quasi‐periods. On the decadal scale, Tianshan had two dry periods (1950–1962 and 1973–1984) and two wet periods (1962–1972 and 1985–2016) and has experienced a tendency of continuous humidification since 2004; (c) the precipitation over the Tianshan Mountains shows a strong seasonality. In total, 63.6% of all precipitation falls in spring and summer. Distinctive differences are found in seasonal precipitation variations among the sub‐Tianshan regions. Obvious upward trends of precipitation over Eastern Tianshan were found in all seasons, with Eastern Tianshan entering a humid period as early as 1986. Northern and Central Tianshan experienced a decreasing trend in summer and spring. However, in the other seasons, those two sub‐Tianshan regions have been in humid periods since the 1990s. The precipitation over Western Tianshan showed an upward trend in summer and autumn. The obvious downward trends in spring and winter have led to dry periods in these two seasons from 1997–2014 to 2008–2016, respectively.
    Description: Most parts of Tianshan experienced increasing annual precipitation during 1950–2016 while Western Tianshan, which is the wettest region, faced a downtrend of precipitation during the same 67 years. Distinctive differences are found in seasonal precipitation variations among the sub‐Tianshan regions.

    Description: The European Space Agency Earth Explorer mission Aeolus with the first spaceborne Doppler Wind Lidar onboard provides global coverage of wind profiles twice per day. This paper discusses the impact of assimilating Aeolus winds on the quality of tropical analyses and forecasts using the observing system experiments of the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather (ECMWF). Presented examples show that Aeolus wind profiles bring changes to the Kelvin wave structure in the layers with a significant vertical shear during the easterly phase of the quasi‐biennial oscillation in the period May to September 2020. Comparing Kelvin waves in analyses and forecasts with and without Aeolus winds, it is argued that improved ECMWF forecasts in the tropical tropopause layer are due to vertically propagating Kelvin waves.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The tropics are the region with the largest uncertainties in the initial states for numerical weather prediction, called analyses. Analysis uncertainties are largest in the tropical upper troposphere and the lower stratosphere (UTLS). One of the reasons is a lack of wind profiles which are more useful than temperature profiles in the tropics. This classical effect was described by Smagorinsky as “Not all data are equal in their information‐yielding capacity. Some are more equal than others.” ESA's ongoing Aeolus mission provides the first global wind profile observations from space. Despite their small number and relatively large random error, Aeolus winds have a positive impact on the quality of global weather forecasts, especially in the UTLS. In this paper, we discuss the impact of the Aeolus winds in UTLS focusing on the vertically propagating Kelvin waves, which are a major contributor to tropical variability. Several case studies are presented using the ECMWF model and data assimilation with and without Aeolus winds. The studied period May to September 2020 was characterized by a weakening easterly phase of the quasi‐biennial oscillation (QBO). Results suggest that a stronger impact of Aeolus winds in May than later in summer was associated with the QBO and the background flow.
    Description: Key Points: Impact of assimilating Aeolus winds in the ECMWF system from May to September 2020 is coupled to the easterly QBO phase. Aeolus assimilation modifies the representation of vertically propagating Kelvin waves in the tropical UTLS. Forecast improvements in May 2020 could be associated with the alteration in the upward‐propagating Kelvin waves.

    Description: A reanalysis is a physically consistent set of optimally merged simulated model states and historical observational data, using data assimilation. High computational costs for modeled processes and assimilation algorithms has led to Earth system specific reanalysis products for the atmosphere, the ocean and the land separately. Recent developments include the advanced uncertainty quantification and the generation of biogeochemical reanalysis for land and ocean. Here, we review atmospheric and oceanic reanalyzes, and more in detail biogeochemical ocean and terrestrial reanalyzes. In particular, we identify land surface, hydrologic and carbon cycle reanalyzes which are nowadays produced in targeted projects for very specific purposes. Although a future joint reanalysis of land surface, hydrologic, and carbon processes represents an analysis of important ecosystem variables, biotic ecosystem variables are assimilated only to a very limited extent. Continuous data sets of ecosystem variables are needed to explore biotic‐abiotic interactions and the response of ecosystems to global change. Based on the review of existing achievements, we identify five major steps required to develop terrestrial ecosystem reanalysis to deliver continuous data streams on ecosystem dynamics.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: A reanalysis is a unique set of continuous variables produced by optimally merging a numerical model and observed data. The data are merged with the model using available uncertainty estimates to generate the best possible estimate of the target variables. The framework for generating a reanalysis consists of the model, the data, and the model‐data‐fusion algorithm. The very specific requirements of reanalysis frameworks have led to the development of Earth‐compartment specific reanalysis for the atmosphere, the ocean and land. Here, we review atmospheric and oceanic reanalyzes, and in more detail biogeochemical ocean and terrestrial reanalyzes. In particular, we identify land surface, hydrologic, and carbon cycle reanalyzes which are nowadays produced in targeted projects for very specific purposes. Based on a review of existing achievements, we identify five major steps required to develop reanalysis for terrestrial ecosystem to shed more light on biotic and abiotic interactions. In the future, terrestrial ecosystem reanalysis will deliver continuous data streams on the state and the development of terrestrial ecosystems.
    Description: Key Points: Reanalyzes provide decades‐long model‐data‐driven harmonized and continuous data sets for new scientific discoveries. Novel global scale reanalyzes quantify the biogeochemical ocean cycle, terrestrial carbon cycle, land surface, and hydrologic processes. New observation technology and modeling capabilities allow in the near future production of advanced terrestrial ecosystem reanalysis.

    Description: Lake‐level reconstructions are a key tool in hydro‐climate reconstructions, based on the assumption that lake‐level changes primarily reflect climatic changes. Although it is known that land cover changes can affect evapotranspiration and groundwater formation, this factor commonly receives little attention in the interpretation of past lake‐level changes. To address this issue in more detail, we explore the effects of land cover change on Holocene lake‐level fluctuations in Lake Tiefer See in the lowlands of northeastern Germany. We reconstruct lake‐level changes based on the analysis of 28 sediment records from different water depths and from the shore. We compare the results with land cover changes inferred from pollen data. We also apply hydrological modelling to quantify effects of land cover change on evapotranspiration and the lake level. Our reconstruction shows an overall lake‐level amplitude of about 10 m during the Holocene, with the highest fluctuations during the Early and Late Holocene. Only smaller fluctuations during the Middle Holocene can unambiguously be attributed to climatic fluctuations because the land cover was stable during that period. Fluctuations during the Early and Late Holocene are at least partly related to changes in natural and anthropogenic land cover. For several intervals the reconstructed lake‐level changes agree well with variations in modelled groundwater recharge inferred from land cover changes. In general, the observed amplitudes of lake‐level fluctuations are larger than expected from climatic changes alone and thus underline that land cover changes in lake catchments must be considered in climatic interpretations of past lake‐level fluctuations.

    Description: While the evidence for anthropogenic climate change continues to strengthen, and concerns about severe weather events are increasing, global projections of regional climate change are still uncertain due to model‐dependent changes in large‐scale atmospheric circulation, including over North Atlantic and Europe. Here, the Jenkinson–Collison classification of daily circulation patterns is used to evaluate past and future changes in their seasonal frequencies over Central Europe for the 1900–2100 period. Three reanalyses and eight global climate models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 6, were used based on daily mean sea‐level pressure data. Best agreement in deriving relative frequencies of the synoptic types was found between the reanalyses. Global models can generally capture the interannual variability of circulation patterns and their climatological state, especially for the less frequent synoptic types. Based on historical data and the shared socioeconomic pathway 5 scenario, the evaluated trends show more robust signals during summer, given their lesser internal variability. Increasing frequencies were found for circulation types characterized by weak pressure gradients, mainly at the expense of decreasing frequencies of westerlies. Our findings indicate that given a high‐emission scenario, these signals will likely emerge from past climate variability towards the mid‐21st century for most altered circulation patterns.

    Description: Smallholder livelihoods throughout Central America are built on rain‐fed agriculture and depend on seasonal variations in temperature and precipitation. Recent climatic shifts in this highly diverse region are not well understood due to sparse observations, and as the skill of global climate products have not been thoroughly evaluated. We examine the performance for several reanalysis and satellite‐based global climate data products (CHIRPS/CHIRTS, ERA5, MERRA‐2, PERSIANN‐CDR) as compared to the observation‐based GPCC precipitation dataset. These datasets are then used to evaluate the magnitude and spatial extent of hydroclimatic shifts and changes in aridity and drought over the last four decades. We focus on water‐limited regions that are important for rain‐fed agriculture and particularly vulnerable to further drying, and newly delineate those regions for Central America and Mexico by adapting prior definitions of the Central American Dry Corridor. Our results indicate that the CHIRPS dataset exhibits the greatest skill for the study area. A general warming of 0.2–0.8°C·decade−1 was found across the region, particularly for spring and winter, while widespread drying was indicated by several measures for the summer growing season. Changes in annual precipitation have been inconsistent, but show declines of 20–25% in eastern Honduras/Nicaragua and in several parts of Mexico. Some regions most vulnerable to drying have been subject to statistically significant trends towards summer drying, increases in drought and aridity driven by precipitation declines, and/or a lengthening of the winter dry season, highlighting areas where climate adaptation measures may be most urgent.
    Description: Over the past four decades, precipitation trends are the main driver of drought trends, with temperature trends playing a small role. The most widespread drying and increases in aridity have occurred during the summer growing season. Based on delimitations of water‐limited and climate‐sensitive regions (brown shading) that are important for rain‐fed agriculture, some of these highly vulnerable regions overlap with areas of significant drying (red), highlighting potential prioritization areas for climate adaptation measures. image

    Description: Die Methode der Spektrale Induzierte Polarisation (SIP) misst die Frequenzabhängigkeit des spezifischen elektrischen Widerstandes von Gesteinen nach Betrag und Phase. In der Frequenzabhängigkeit des Widerstandes spiegelt sich unter anderem die Geometrie des Porenraumes und den darin befindlichen Fluiden wieder. Üblicherweise wird das Widerstandsspektrum mit monofrequenten Signalen sequentiell vermessen. Diese Vorgehensweise erweist sich bei großskaligen Messanordnungen mit hohen Störspannungen als vorteilhaft da die Energie des Messgerätes auf einen schmalen Frequenzbereich konzentriert und eine Unterscheidung von Nutz- und Störfrequenzen erleichtert wird. Bei Labormessungen spielen Störspannungen häufig nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Wichtiger ist hier ein möglichst hoher Messfortschritt. Am schnellsten ist die sequentielle SIP Messung, wenn jeweils nur Einzelperioden verwendet werden. Bei einer Frequenz pro Oktave, dauert die Gesamtmessung idealerweise doppelt so lange wie die längste Periode andauert. Überlagert man jedoch sämtliche Einzelfrequenzen (multifrequente Anregung) dann benötigt man nur die halbe Zeit. Der höhere Messfortschritt geht jedoch einher mit einer verringerten Messgenauigkeit. Ursache hierfür ist, dass die Einzelamplituden soweit verringert werden müssen, dass die Summenamplitude nicht die maximale Ausgangsspannung des Messgerätes überschreitet. Im Poster wird ein neu entwickeltes 88-kanaliges SIP-Labor-Messgerät (SIP-LAB-FAST) vorgestellt, das eine Anregung mit 1 - 24 Frequenzen gleichzeitig erlaubt. Bei z.B. einer Frequenz pro Octave lässt sich so ein Frequenzbereich von über 7 Dekaden mit einer Einzelmessung vermessen. Eine multifrequente Anregung erfordert auch eine leistungsfähige Hardware zur Echtzeit-Verarbeitung der Zeitreihen von Strom und Spannung. Hierzu wurde für jede Frequenz eine Diskrete Fourier Transformation (DFT) implementiert. Mittels einer multivariaten Kohärenzanalyse werden dann aus den Fourier Koeffizienten das komplexwertige Impedanz-Spektrum, sowie den zugehörigen Vertrauensintervallen berechnet. Durch die freie Wahl des Anregungssignales erhält der SIP Anwender eine erweiterte Möglichkeit den Messablauf optimal an die Fragestellung anzupassen. Ein Vergleich der mono- und multifrequenten Messergebnisse von verschiedenen Materialproben belegt die Leistungsfähigkeit der neuartigen Messtechnik.

    Description: Over the last years, installations of wind turbines (WTs) increased worldwide. Owing to negative effects on humans, WTs are often installed in areas with low population density. Because of low anthropogenic noise, these areas are also well suited for sites of seismological stations. As a consequence, WTs are often installed in the same areas as seismological stations. By comparing the noise in recorded data before and after installation of WTs, seismologists noticed a substantial worsening of station quality leading to conflicts between the operators of WTs and earthquake services. In this study, we compare different techniques to reduce or eliminate the disturbing signal from WTs at seismological stations. For this purpose, we selected a seismological station that shows a significant correlation between the power spectral density and the hourly windspeed measurements. Usually, spectral filtering is used to suppress noise in seismic data processing. However, this approach is not effective when noise and signal have overlapping frequency bands which is the case for WT noise. As a first method, we applied the continuous wavelet transform (CWT) on our data to obtain a time-scale representation. From this representation, we estimated a noise threshold function (Langston & Mousavi, 2019) either from noise before the theoretical P-arrival (pre-noise) or using a noise signal from the past with similar ground velocity conditions at the surrounding WTs. Therefore, we installed low cost seismometers at the surrounding WTs to find similar signals at each WT. From these similar signals, we obtain a noise model at the seismological station, which is used to estimate the threshold function. As a second method, we used a denoising autoencoder (DAE) that learns mapping functions to distinguish between noise and signal (Zhu et al., 2019). In our tests, the threshold function performs well when the event is visible in the raw or spectral filtered data, but it fails when WT noise dominates and the event is hidden. In these cases, the DAE removes the WT noise from the data. However, the DAE must be trained with typical noise samples and high signal-to-noise ratio events to distinguish between signal and interfering noise. Using the threshold function and pre-noise can be applied immediately on real-time data and has a low computational cost. Using a noise model from our prerecorded database at the seismological station does not improve the result and it is more time consuming to find similar ground velocity conditions at the surrounding WTs.

    Description: As part of the German continental seismic reflection program (Deutsches Kontinentales Reflexionsseismisches Programm, DEKORP), three large seismic traverses (with the sub-profiles: DEKORP'84-2S and '86-2N; DEKORP'88-9N; DEKORP'90-3A and '90-3B) were measured in the state of Hesse in Germany. The main research topic of DEKORP were deep seismic studies to investigate the lithospheric structure beneath Germany. Thus, for acquisition, strong sources were used to image in these depths, resulting in an excellent S/N ratio, but the main focus was not on the uppermost kilometres. From today's perspective, however, this depth range is of great interest for a wide range of possible technical applications (including medium-deep and deep geothermal projects). The DEKORP profiles cover approx. 450 km in the state of Hesse and mostly cross areas where only insufficient geological data exist (i.e. only few deep boreholes). In order to close or reduce these knowledge gaps, these DEKORP lines were reprocessed in 2019/20. The focus of the reprocessing was on improving the resolution / mapping of geological structures down to a depth of 6 km (approx. 3 s TWT) to describe the prolongation of faults and geological structures in more detail than in previous studies. Nevertheless, deeper structures were also reinterpreted and compared to previous interpretations. The results were directly incorporated into the new geological 3D model of the state of Hesse, developed by the Technical University of Darmstadt (Hessen3D 2.0, BMWi-FKZ: 0325944). In order to achieve these goals and in view of the fact that today's processing methods have improved considerably compared to the 1990‘s, a state-of-the-art reprocessing was applied for all DEKORP profiles traversing the state of Hesse. In comparison to the original processing, additional processing steps like CRS instead of CDP stacking, turning-ray tomography and prestack depth migration were carried out. We present exemplary results of the reprocessing as well as initial geological reinterpretations for the profile DEKORP'88-9N.

    Description: The work presented here is part of ongoing studies in the AlpArray initiative and the priority program "MB-4D" regarding the modelling of the lithosphere in the Ligurian Sea (northwestern Mediterranean Sea). It will be based on constraining data from LOBSTER and LISA campaigns of past GEOMAR projects and a study in our research group at CAU Kiel. Our motivation is the combination and interdisciplinary interpretation of independent information from geology, tectonics, geophysics, and petrology. The existing gravity fields, especially the new compilation of the AlpArray Gravity Research Group (AAGRG) is considered as database (high resolution Free Air- and Bouguer anomalies) and the isostatic residual field, besides data of the ICGEM Potsdam (disturbance) and the ESA GOCE gradients for gravity and data for the magnetic field anomaly. The gravity and magnetic fields are analyzed using Euler deconvolution with regularization (R. Pašteka, Comenius University Bratislava) and application of curvature analysis we use both, the fields themselves and their gradients. Besides the calculation of the so-called "3rd derivative" of the gravity potential, we also investigate a possible use of the invariants of the gravity field based on gradient data and compare and correlate the results with structural and tectonic maps in the area of the Ligurian Sea and the adjacent French and Italian mainland. The findings from these comparisons will later be used to initiate the compilation of 3D density and susceptibility models for the studied region.

    Description: FloodRisk is an interdisciplinary project focusing on the effects of mine water level rise in bandoned coal mine regions in Germany. Such effects are heterogeneous ground uplift, stress changes due to the change in pore pressure and the reactivation of potential faults. One of the most directly measurable effects is certainly the induced micro seismicity. It is known from previous studies that the flooding of old mines can lead to a renewed increase level in induced micro seismicity in these regions. In this study the relationship between mine water rise, fluid-induced stress changes and induced seismicity in the Haus Aden dewatering area in the eastern Ruhr area (Germany) will be investigated in more detail. For this purpose, we operate a network of currently 21 short period seismic stations in the region of the former "Bergwerk Ost" colliery, which had the highest seismicity rate in the Ruhr area during active underground coal mining. This network is still to be expanded to cover the entire water drainage area, about 30 Raspberry Shake sensors are waiting for the possibility of installation. Nevertheless, the existing network registered almost 1000 induced micro seismic events in a magnitude range from -0.7 up to 2.6 MLv. Many of these events are spatially clustered and some show quite high waveform similarity. This allows relative localisation and can increase the accuracy of the location. The depth location of the earthquakes, within the limits of localisation accuracy, agrees very well with the distribution of seismicity at the time of active mining. The spatial distribution so far seems to be limited by a large inactive transverse fault in the west. It needs to be clarified what influence this fault has on the propagation of mine water in the underground. The measured temporal trend of the mine water level, after pumps were shut down in mid-2019, shows a strong correlation with the temporal evolution of the observed micro seismicity. In the first months after the pumps are switched off, the water levels at the observation points rise only slowly and isolated microseismic events occur again. In November 2019, the rise in water levels doubled and at the same time, the strongest induced event in the measurement period was recorded with a magnitude of 2.6 MLv . In the following months, the seismicity rate ranged from 8 to 34 events above 0.5 MLv per month, some of which were felt.

    Description: We introduce an approach for 3D joint interpretation of potential fields and its derivatives under the condition of constraining data and information. The interactive 3D gravity and magnetic application IGMAS (Interactive Gravity and Magnetic Application System) has been around for more than 30 years, initially developed on a mainframe and then transferred to the first DOS PCs, before it was adapted to Linux in the ’90s and finally implemented as a cross-platform Java application with GUI. Since 2019 IGMAS+ is maintained and developed in the Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre by the staff of Section 4.5 – Basin Modelling and ID2 – eScience Centre. The core of IGMAS+ applies an analytical solution of the volume integral for the gravity and magnetic effect of a homogeneous body. It is based on the reduction of the three-folded integral to an integral over the bounding polyhedrons that are formed by triangles. Later the algorithm has been extended to cover all elements of the gravity tensor as well and the optimized storage enables fast leastsquares inversion of densities and changes to the model geometry and this flexibility makes geometry changes easy. Because of the triangular model structure of model interfaces, IGMAS can handle complex structures (multi- Z surfaces) like the overhangs of salt domes and variable densities due to voxelization. To account for the curvature of the Earth, we use spherical geometries. Therefore IGMAS+ is capable to handle models from big-scale to regional and small-scale models (meters) used in Applied Geophysics.

    Description: A new crustal model of the Volga-Uralian subcraton was built. The compilation of the model was subdivided in two steps: (1) inverse gravity modeling followed by (2) thorough forward gravity modeling. For inverse gravity modeling GOCE gravity gradients were used. The effect of the Earth sphericity was taken into account by using tesseroids. Density contrasts between crust and mantle were varied laterally according to the tectonic units present in the region. The model is constrained by the available seismic data including receiver function studies, and deep reflection and refraction profiles. The Moho discontinuity obtained during the gravity inversion was consequently modified, and complemented by the sedimentary cover, upper crust, lower crust, and lithospheric mantle layers in the process of forward gravity modeling. Obtained model showed crustal thickness variation from 34 to more than 55 km in some areas. The thinnest crust with the thickness below 40 km appeared on the Pericaspian basin with the thickest sedimentary column. A relatively thin crust was found along the central Russia rift system, while the thickest crust is located underneath Ural Mountains as well as in the center of the Volga-Uralian subcraton. In both areas the crustal thickness exceeds 50 km. At the same time, the gravity misfit of ca. 95 mGal between the measured Bouguer gravity anomaly and forward calculated gravity field was revealed in the central area of the Volga-Uralian subcraton. This misfit was interpreted and modeled as high-density lower crust which can possibly represent an underplated material. In the end, the new crustal model of Volga-Uralian subcraton respects the gravity and seismic constraints, and reflects the main geological features of the region. This model will be used for further geothermal analysis of the area.

    Description: Passive seismische Messungen des Umgebungsrauschens sind effektive und nicht-invasive Methoden, um die Struktur des lokalen Untergrunds und mögliche Verstärkungen seismischer Bodenbewegungen zu ermitteln. Liegt beispielsweise Lockersediment auf Festgestein auf, so kann dies bei seismischen Ereignissen eine verstärkende Wirkung auf die seismische Beanspruchung darüberliegender Gebäude haben. Um einen ersten Überblick über den Standort zu bekommen, wird mithilfe von Einzelstationsmessungen die Fundamentalfrequenz, mit welcher der Untergrund schwingt, ermittelt (H/V-Kurven). Liegt diese in einem ähnlichen Bereich wie die Resonanzfrequenzen von Gebäuden (ca. 1 - 10 Hz) wirkt dies verstärkend, sodass auch seismische Ereignisse mit geringer Magnitude eine erhöhte Einwirkung in Bezug auf Fühlbarkeit und Schäden zur Folge haben. Des Weiteren werden zur Erstellung eines Geschwindigkeit-Tiefen-Profils mehrere Stationen zu einem Array kombiniert. Aus den gemessenen Daten werden mittels einer hochauflösenden Frequenz-Wellenzahl-Analyse (hrFK) und einer räumlichen Autokorrelation (SPAC) Dispersionskurven ermittelt, welche die Phasengeschwindigkeiten von Oberflächenwellen in Abhängigkeit der Frequenz angeben. Die resultierenden Dispersionskurven werden am Ende invertiert, um das Geschwindigkeits-Tiefen-Profil für den lokalen Untergrund zu erhalten. Insgesamt wurden auf den Flussterrassen der Weser drei Array-Messungen an unterschiedlichen Standorten, sowie mehrere H/V-Messungen durchgeführt. Ziel ist es, eine bestmögliche Strategie sowohl für die Vorgehensweise bei den Messungen, als auch für die Auswertung der Daten zu entwickeln und eine bessere Eingrenzung der Tiefenprofile der S-Wellengeschwindigkeiten zu erreichen. So wurde bei der Auswertung der Daten unter anderem eine Trennung in Love- und Rayleigh-Wellen vorgenommen, um die Geschwindigkeitsprofile besser bestimmen zu können. In Zukunft sind zudem Tests mit Variationen der Array-Geometrien geplant, um zukünftige Messungen hinsichtlich Logistik, Messdauer und Personaleinsatz zu optimieren.

    Description: This presentation summarizes input data, procedures and results of probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA) in Bangladesh in the framework of the project ‘Geo information for Urban Planning and Adaptation to Climate Change’. It is a cooperation of the Geological Survey of Bangladesh (GSB) and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) of Germany. The main aim of the project is to provide city planners with “Ground Suitability Maps”, which display different geo-factors. Seismic hazard is one of the geo-factors that contributes to these maps. For the derivation of “Ground Suitability Maps”, the influence of the local underground conditions will be taken into account additionally. A major part of Bangladesh is located in earthquake prone regions due to active tectonics. The Indian plate moves north-eastward towards the Eurasian plate at a velocity of about 6 cm/year. This motion leads to thrusting to the north (Himalaya) and to subduction to the east together with strike-slip mechanism. The thrusting and subduction processes have caused large historical earthquakes even inside Bangladesh (e.g. 1885 Bengal Earthquake M7 and 1918 Srimangal Earthquake M7.6). Therefore, it is crucial to assess seismic hazard in urban planning in Bangladesh. The input databases were compiled from the literature, reviewed and evaluated in this study. These are earthquake catalogs, the distribution of active faults and ground motion prediction equations. The most consistent and reliable databases were selected to be used in PSHA. The data of the earthquake catalog were declustered to eliminate the duplicated events, aftershocks and foreshocks. The spatial distribution of areal seismic sources was characterized using the distributions of earthquakes in the catalog and active faults. The completeness analysis of the earthquake catalog was performed and the Gutenberg-Richter magnitude recurrence distribution was derived for each seismic source. The results of PSHA are presented in the form of peak ground acceleration (PGA) maps with 10% exceedance probability in 50 years. As usual in regional PSHA, the results were compiled assuming bedrock as underground condition (so-called engineering bedrock with shear velocity of Vs30≥760 m/s). The northern and eastern parts of Bangladesh show the highest seismic hazard with PGA around 0.4 g with 10% exceedance probability in 50 years. This observation was expected because of the active tectonics in these parts.

    Description: Im Standortauswahlgesetz wird in § 22 zum Ausschlusskriterium „Seismische Aktivität“ ausgeführt, dass ein Gebiet nicht als Endlagerstandort geeignet ist, wenn die örtliche seismische Gefährdung größer als in Erdbebenzone 1 nach DIN EN 1998-1/NA:2011-01 ist. Diese Norm wird in Kürze durch eine Aktualisierung ersetzt, die dem Stand von Wissenschaft und Technik entspricht. Der Entwurf hierzu, E DIN EN 1998-1/NA:2018-10, enthält keine Zuordnungen in Erdbebenzonen mehr, sondern weist die seismische Gefährdung räumlich kontinuierlich aus. Die Bundesanstalt für Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) hat im Auftrag der Bundesgesellschaft für Endlagerung einen Vorschlag zur Anwendung dieses Ausschlusskriteriums unter Verwendung von E DIN EN1998-1/NA:2018-10 erarbeitet. Die BGR schlägt vor, als Grenzwert zur Anwendung des Ausschlusskriteriums den Wert der spektralen Antwortbeschleunigung im Plateaubereich von 1,8 ms-2 in E DIN EN 1998-1/NA:2018-10 zu verwenden. Dieser Wert entspricht der makroseismischen Intensität 7, für den die seismische Gefährdung größer als in Erdbebenzone 1 nach DIN EN 1998-1/NA:2011-01 ist. Für Gebiete, in denen dieser Wert überschritten wird, gilt das Ausschlusskriterium als erfüllt. Grundsätzlich ist das Ausschlusskriterium „Seismische Aktivität“ im Standortauswahlgesetz jedoch wenig geeignet, um die Erdbebengefährdung eines Standortes für ein Endlager für hochradioaktive Abfälle zu ermitteln. Der Bewertungszeitraum für die Sicherheit des Endlagers beträgt eine Million Jahre und unterscheidet sich erheblich vom Betrachtungszeitraum von 50 Jahren der Norm DIN EN 1998-1/NA. Die Intensität bzw. die Beschleunigung gilt für die Erdoberfläche; die Endlagerung hochradioaktiver Abfälle soll jedoch in tiefen geologischen Formationen erfolgen. Neben der Gefährdung aufgrund von seismischen Bodenbewegungen als Bewertungsmaßstab des Ausschlusskriteriums hat eine andere Art der Gefährdung durch Erdbeben für Endlager in tiefen geologischen Formationen eine größere Bedeutung, nämlich bruchartige Verschiebungen im Endlagerbereich. Das Ausschlusskriterium „Seismische Aktivität“ bezieht sich im Unterschied zu allen anderen Ausschlusskriterien im Standortauswahlgesetz § 22 nicht auf ein wissenschaftlich formuliertes Merkmal, sondern auf eine Norm, deren Bemessungsgrößen aufgrund eines Kompromisses zwischen Sicherheitsbetrachtungen und wirtschaftlichen Überlegungen wie erhöhten Baukosten festgelegt wurden.

    Description: As part of the EPOS-Norway infrastructure project, NORSAR received funding from the Research Council of Norway for a new regional seismic array on Bjørnøya (Bear Island) in the European Arctic. After along planning phase, a six-element broadband array was installed by NORSAR staff in August 2019 and has been providing data to NORSAR in near real-time since then. Due to several logistical and administrative constraints the 6-element array has an aperture of only 300 m. All sites are equipped with Kinemetrics MBB-2 sensors and Earth Data EDR-209 digitizers that are installed in near-surface vaults. Data are automatically copied to the Norwegian node of the European Integrated Data Archive (EIDA) and are openly available. Due to environmental restrictions less than the planned 9 array sites could be installed on Bjørnøya and the non-used instruments are now available to extend the broadband station Hornsund (HSPB), Southern Spitsbergen, to another small aperture broadband array, also with 6 sites. The array installation had to be postponed because of the ongoing pandemic and is now planned for the Arctic summer 2021.

    Description: Seismotectonic regions are a basic input in seismic hazard assessment. Several seismotectonic zonations for Germany have been proposed in the past. We have developed a new regionalization based on the definition in the German Nuclear Safety Standard: “A seismotectonic unit is a region for which uniformity is assumed regarding seismic activity, geological structure and development and, in particular, regarding neotectonic conditions”. Our new concept aims for transparent implementation of geological criteria, which we initially analyze separately from seismicity. We strive for a better documentation and justification of the geological elements used to delimit seismotectonic regions, based on an analysis of the geological evolution in six time slices from the Permian (300 Ma) to the Present. The time slices are separated by marked changes in the tectonic regime and associated with the development of new fault systems or reactivation of existing ones. The present-day fault network comprises faults from all time slices. For each time slice, a subset of active faults has been extracted based on geological evidence for fault activity at that time. Uncertainties of these age assignments are documented. The fault subsets delimit regions of different strain intensity. The superposition of strain intensity distributions across all time slices identifies regions affected by polyphase deformation and regions nearly undeformed over geological time, potentially indicating areas of increased or reduced present-day seismic hazard. Our new zonation consists of fewer regions than earlier ones. The geological zonation correlates well with recent seismicity in areas of Cenozoic rifting and reasonably well with less frequent earthquakes in a belt affected by Mesozoic extension and contraction. However, a few stronger earthquake cluster in regions of low geological strain. The most prominent earthquake clusters (Swabian Jura, Vogtland / NW Bohemia) also defy a simple correlation with known geological structures.

    Description: Übertiefte Täler in den Alpen ermöglichen uns glaziale Sedimentation und somit einen Teil der quartären Klimageschichte zu verstehen. Reflexionsseimsik kann dabei verwendet werden, um punktuelle Bohrlochdaten in die Fläche zu projizieren oder eine potentielle Bohrlokation vorzuerkunden. Im Rahmen des ICDP-Projekts ‚Drilling Overdeepened Alpine Valleys‘ (DOVE) sollen eine Reihe von Bohrungen in alpinen, glazial-übertieften Tälern abgeteuft werden. Eine der Bohrungen soll 2021 in einem übertieften Tal des Rheingletschers bei Basadingen, nahe der deutsch-schweizerischen Grenze abgeteuft werden. In Zusammenarbeit mit der ETH Zürich, wurden zwei Profile im Abstand von ca. 500 m annähernd senkrecht zum Talverlauf aufgenommen. Das erste Profil ist 1246 m lang und bestand aus einer festen Auslage von 624 Geophonen. Das zweite Profil ist 1120 m lang und wurde mit 200 3-Komponenten-Geophonen im roll-along-Verfahren aufgenommen. Für beide Profile wurde bei jedem zweiten Geophon (zwei Meter Geophonabstand) mit einem hydraulischen 4-t Vibrator ein linearer 12-s-Sweep von 20-240 Hz angeregt. Beide seismischen Profile bilden ein asymmetrisches, übertieftes Becken mit ca. 260 m Tiefe ab, wobei der tiefste Bereich nur einen kleinen Teil des breiteren Hauptbeckens einnimmt. Die Auffüllung ist durch mindestens drei Diskordanzen, deutlichen Onlaps und Erosionshorizonten zwischen den Sedimenteinheiten gekennzeichnet. Wir interpretieren die Talfüllung als das Produkt eines hochdynamischen, sedimentären Systems. Der untere Teil, innerhalb des tiefsten Bereichs des Beckens, ist mit chaotisch abgelagerten Sedimenten gefüllt. Der Teil oberhalb einer Diskordanz enthält steil einfallende Reflektoren, die wahrscheinlich 20-30 m mächtige, progradierende Mäanderbanken einer glazial-fluviatilen Umgebung darstellen. Unterhalb des tiefsten Bereichs des Beckens sehen wir Versätze in Reflektoren, die auf Verwerfungen in der Tertiären Molasse hinweisen und mit bekannten Verwerfungen an der Oberfläche korrelieren. Wir vermuten, dass die Verwerfungen das Gestein geschwächt und somit die verstärkte Erosion an dieser Stelle gefördert haben.

    Description: As a result of the joint project ‘Subsurface Potentials for Storage and Economic Use in the North German Basin’ (German acronym: TUNB) the Geological Surveys of Northern Germany and the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR) finalized a coherent geological 3D-model of the deep subsurface of the North German Basin in early 2021. The model consists of 13 major base surfaces from Oligocene to Zechstein, fault surfaces and hull surfaces of salt diapirs. In the northwestern part it is based on the datasets of the Tectonic Atlas of NW-Germany (GTA) along with well and seismic data from the hydrocarbon industry. Additionally to modelling the onshore part of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg and insuring cross-border consistency to the neighboring federal states, the Geological Survey of Schleswig-Holstein (LLUR) reconstructed a 3D-large-scale velocity model based on previous work from Jaritz et al. (1991). Their velocity approach was developed within the GTA-project and is based on sonic-log and check-shot-velocities. It assumes a linear velocity increase, which is calculated from specific global gradients for different major lithostratigraphic layers and laterally varying starting-velocities. To validate the constructed 3D-velocity-model, its velocities were compared to velocities measured at boreholes by oil and gas companies. In general, a good agreement was found between modeled and measured data (deviation 〈 5%), in which the average velocities seemed to resemble the check-shot data more accurately than the interval velocities the sonic-log-measurements. In distinct locations, the velocity model was used to convert the newly constructed TUNB-horizons from the depth- to the time-domain in order to compare them to seismic sections. Whereas overall a good agreement between horizons and seismic reflectors was found, differences were identified especially in structural complex areas. Whether these can be attributed to earlier interpretations from the GTA, the modelling of the horizons or insufficiencies in the velocity-model has yet to be determined. A follow-up project to the TUNB-project is anticipated to start in early summer 2021. The goal of the project is to derive a consistent velocity model over large parts of the North German Basin. Main challenges will be integrating available borehole and seismic data into existing velocity-modelling approaches with a special focus on establishing cross border consistency to eastern federal states.

    Description: Die zerstörungsfreie Ermittlung der Materialfeuchte in Baustoffen ist für das Bauwesen von großer Bedeutung, denn ein erhöhter Feuchteeintrag kann zu Schimmelbildung, Alkali-Kieselsäure-Reaktionen, Korrosion etc. führen und somit ein hohes Schadenspotential mit sich bringen. Auch wenn zur qualitativen Lokalisierung möglicher Schad- und Risikostellen bereits zahlreiche zerstörungsfreie Verfahren in der Praxis Anwendung finden, besteht ein Mangel an quantitativen Verfahren, die auch bei niedrigen Feuchtegehalten sensitiv sind. Eine Methode zur zerstörungsfreien und quantitativen Bestimmung des Feuchtegehaltes und der effektiven Porosität ist die 1H-Kernspinresonzanzmethode (NMR). Da NMR sensitiv für die molekulare Beweglichkeit von Wasserstoffprotonen ist, lassen sich Informationen über die Bindungsform und -stärke sowie der Umgebung (Porengröße und Mineralzusammensetzung) der Wasserstoffprotonen gewinnen. Obwohl es bereits seit über 20 Jahren mobile NMR-Messeräte gibt, wird NMR heutzutage immer noch weitestgehend im Labor eingesetzt. Dies liegt daran, dass sie aufgrund der verwendeten Permanentmagnete schwer sind und nur äußerst geringe Eindringtiefen ermöglichen. In einer derzeit laufenden Forschungsarbeit wird deshalb ein speziell für Bohrkerne entworfener NMR-Tomograph eingesetzt. Mit seiner minimalen Echozeit von 50 µs lässt sich (abhängig von der Oberflächenrelaxivität) Wasser bis in nanometergroßen Poren erfassen. Um die Sensitivität von NMR bei Teilsättigung zu untersuchen, wurden verschiedene Sandsteinproben in Exsikkatoren mit relativen Luftfeuchten im Bereich von 33 % bis 96 % gelagert. Als Referenzen dienen zum einen das NMR-Signal bei Vollsättigung und zum anderen die Porengrößenverteilung aus Quecksilberporosimetriemessungen (MIP). Um die NMR-Sensitivität zu bewerten, wird die Korrelation der NMR-Amplitude mit den gravimetrisch ermittelten Feuchtegehalten sowie ein Vergleich der Porosität aus NMR und MIP betrachtet. Zu beachten ist in diesem Zusammenhang, dass sowohl die Reduzierung der Wasserfilmdicke als auch die Verkleinerung von Porengrößen zu einer ähnlichen Verkürzung der T2-Relaxationszeit führt. Als Ausblick wird ein Lösungsansatz vorgestellt, bei dem die NMR-Signale mit der Wasserfilmdickenberechnung basierend auf der relativen Luftfeuchte im Material korreliert werden.

    Description: About 25% of the Earth’s mid-ocean ridges spread at ultraslow rates of less than 20 mm/yr. However, most of these ultraslow spreading ridges are located in geographically remote areas, which hamper investigation. Consequently, how the crust forms and ages at such spreading centres, which traditional models predict to be magma-starved and cold, remains poorly understood. One of the most accessible ultra-slow spreading centres is the Mid Cayman Spreading Centre (MCSC), in the Caribbean Sea, with spreading rates of ~15-17 mm/yr. CAYSEIS project was proposed to survey the Cayman Trough area in order to obtain new data that constraints the nature of the crust, tectonic structures, lithologies outcropping and hydrothermal processes taking place in this area. Understanding the sub-seabed geophysical structure of the MCSC is key to understanding not only the lithologies and structures exposed at the seabed, but more fundamentally, how they are related at depth and what role hydrothermal fluid flow plays in the geodynamics of ultraslow spreading. CAYSEIS was a joint and multidisciplinary programme of German, British and US American top tier scientists designed for the obtaining of a new high-quality dataset, including 3D Wide-Angle Seismic (WAS), magnetic, gravimetric and seismological data. During the CAYMAN project, we took leverage of the CAYSEIS dataset to invert a 3D tomographic model of the Cayman Trough lithosphere using the Tomo3D code (Meléndez et al., 2015; 2019). This is one of the first times that the Tomo3D code is used for 3D inversion of real datasets. Thus, we are checking our results comparing them with tomographic inversions of 2D lines and testing the different parameters to obtain the more accurate and higher resolution model as possible. The results of this experiment will show not only the lithospheric structure along and across the MSCS, including the exhumed Ocean Core Complexes in the surrounding areas, but the 3D lithospheric configuration of the region which is important to understand the crustal formation processes and the evolution of ultra-slow spreading settings.

    Description: The ongoing activity of Mount Etna and the proximity to the nearby population requires constant monitoring. Infrasound recordings play an important role in volcanic observation because explosive activity near or above ground as well as shallow tremor processes are easier to identify with airborne sound waves than with seismic waves that are significantly scattered and refracted in the volcano edifice. However, infrasound signals are often blurred by noise, in case of Mount Etna, mostly wind induced noise. manual distinction of noisy data from real volcanogenic signals brings along a considerable effort and requires expert knowledge. At Mount Etna five summit craters are currently known with fluctuating levels of activity. This leads to a wide variety of infrasound signal patterns interfered by changing noise levels. In order to distinguish waveforms of noise from signals of volcanic origin we apply unsupervised pattern recognition techniques. We show that by extracting features from the amplitude spectrum different infrasound regimes can be distinguished with Self-Organizing maps (SOMs). This technique provides an option to color-code the results for an intuitive interpretation and allows even for a more detailed recognition of transitional activity regimes. We create a reference data set from multiple months of infrasound waveforms to include as many activity regimes as possible to train the SOM. This enables a fast classification of new data.

    Description: In der Aeromagnetik werden zur Kampfmitteldetektion Multikopter eingesetzt, um belastete Flächen schnell und mit hoher Auflösung zu kartieren. Dabei wurden bisher hauptsächlich einzelne Totalfeldsensoren oder Fluxgate-Magnetometer verwendet, bei denen nur das Totalfeld ausgewertet wurde. Das im Rahmen dieses Projektes verwendete System besteht aus zwei dreikomponentigen Fluxgate Sensoren, einer inertialen Messeinheit (IMU) sowie einer GPS-Antenne. Die IMU erlaubt dabei, die Magnetfeldvektoren in das geographische Koordinatensystem zu projizieren und die Positionen der einzelnen Sensoren relativ zur GPS-Antenne zu bestimmen. Mit diesem Messsystem werden neben dem Totalfeld auch die Differenzen der Magnetfeldkomponenten zwischen den Sensoren ausgewertet. Die Sensoren werden in einem horizontalen Abstand von 50 cm an einem frei beweglichen, T-förmigen Ausleger unter dem Multikopter befestigt. Das Gesamtgewicht des Systems beträgt etwa 5 kg bei einer Flugzeit von 15 Minuten. Für die Inversion verwenden wir ein Dipol-Modell, das die Magnetfelddaten an den Sensorpositionen berechnet. Da bei unbekannten Störkörpern eine Differenzierung von induzierter und remanenter Magnetisierung nicht möglich ist, werden neben der Position der Störkörper deren magnetische Momente vektoriell bestimmt. Die Anzahl der angepassten Dipole und deren Startpositionen können beliebig gewählt werden. Neben dem Totalfeld können die Differenzen der Totalfelder sowie der Magnetfeldkomponenten zwischen den Sensoren zur Auswertung herangezogen werden. Um die Genauigkeit des Gesamtsystems zu untersuchen, haben wir mehrere Flüge über ein mit genau vermessenen Nd-Magneten ausgelegtes Testfeld durchgeführt. Das Testfeld umfasst eine Fläche von 100 x 20 m, aufgeteilt in vier Abschnitte mit unterschiedlichen Anomaliekonfigurationen. Für eine optimale Abdeckung und zum Vergleich der Flugrichtungen wurde die Fläche längs und quer mit einer Sensorhöhe von 1,5 m überflogen. Die Analyse der Inversionsergebnisse zeigt, dass bei Verwendung der Komponentengradienten auch überlappende Anomalien voneinander getrennt und aufgelöst werden können. Die mittleren Fehler der Positionen liegen bei 5 cm. Das magnetische Moment kann bis auf 0,35 Am^2 genau bestimmt werden, wobei die Fehler in Deklination und Inklination bei 4° bzw. 2° liegen.

    Description: Für die automatische Detektion von Erdbebenphasen in seismologischen Daten haben sich STA/LTA-Picker bewährt. In dieser Arbeit stellen wir einen alternativen Ansatz vor, der die statistischen Eigenschaften des aufgezeichneten Signals nutzt. Dafür wird die Verteilungsfunktion der gemessenen Amplituden in einem gleitenden Zeitfenster über zentrale Momente beschrieben. Insbesondere das zentrale Moment 4. Ordnung, die Wölbung oder Kurtosis, ist sensitiv gegenüber Abweichungen von der Normalverteilung. Da die Kurtosis zunimmt, sobald das Zeitfenster den Beginn einer Erdbebenphase beinhaltet, scheint sie für die Detektion von seismischen Signalen geeignet zu sein. In Kombination mit einer Polarisationsanalyse lassen sich die getriggerten Ereignisse automatisch den Einsätzen von P- und S-Wellen zuordnen. Der Polarisationsanalyse liegt ein Optimierungsproblem zugrunde, das aus der Dreikomponentenaufzeichnung der Verschiebung für ein gegebenes Zeitfenster die Richtung einer linear polarisierten Welle ermittelt, die das Verschiebungssignal am besten erklärt. Grundsätzlich wird davon ausgegangen, dass eine eintreffende Welle am Beobachtungsort relativ steil auftaucht. Entsprechend wird ein Winkel des Verschiebungsvektors gegenüber der Vertikalen zwischen 0° und 45° als P-Welle und ein Winkel zwischen 45° und 90° als S-Welle gedeutet. Der konventionelle STA/LTA-Picker und der Kurtosis-Picker wurden zusammen mit der Polarisationsanalyse hinsichtlich ihrer Zuverlässigkeit bei der Detektion und Zuordnung von Erdbebenphasen getestet. Als Vergleichsdatensatz diente die manuelle Auswertung des seismologischen Observatoriums der TU Bergakademie Freiberg in Berggießhübel mit der Registrierung an der zugehörigen Regionalnetzstation BRG. In den untersuchten Fällen lassen sich mit dem Kurtosis-Picker mehr Einsätze als mit dem STA/LTA-Picker automatisch detektieren. Der Vergleich der Triggerzeiten mit der manuellen Auswertung zeigt, dass beide Trigger die Ereignisse später als ihre manuell bestimmte Einsatzzeit erkennen. Tendenziell liegen die Triggerzeiten des Kurtosis-Pickers aber näher an den manuell bestimmten Einsatzzeiten. Die Zuordnung der detektierten Einsätze zu P- und S-Phasen funktioniert für teleseismische Ereignisse zuverlässig. Dagegen scheint die Zuordnung für Krustenphasen von Nahbeben und Steinbruchsprengungen nicht immer perfekt zu funktionieren.
