    Evaluation and application of GPS and altimetry data over central Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica (2010)
    Univ. Bremen
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: The polar ice sheets are unique paleoclimatic archives and play an important role in recent and future climate. The melting of the big freshwater reservoirs will not only increase the global sea level, but will also influence the ocean currents. Therefore, it will be of particular interest to improve the currently available numeric climate models to achieve more accurate statements about climatic change and its consequences. In this work, the evaluation and the different applications of GPS and altimetry data will be described in respect to enhance models. The antarctic area of investigation, Dronning Maud Land (DML), is of particular interest for German polar research, because both the overwintering station Neumayer and the summer station Kohnen are located within it. In the surroundings of these two stations, highly accurate kinematic GPS measurement were made, which will be the basis for the digital elevation model presented here. Because these data are spatially limited, they are supplemened with remotely sensed data. For this purpose, two airborne altimetry data sets and spaceborne laser altimetry data of the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) are used...

    Über die Tiefenwasserausbreitung im Weddellmeer und in der Scotia-See (2010)
    Univ. Bremen
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: WSDW, water mass spreading, numerical model, lagrangian trajectories, Weddell Scotia Confluence. - The deep Scotia Sea is filled with ventilated Weddell Sea Deep Water (WSDW). This in turn is an essential contributor to the ventilation of the World Ocean abyss. A primitive equation, hydrostatic, ocean general circulation model (BRIOS1.1) with terrain-following coordinate is used to investigate the water mass export from the Weddell Sea. The model is circumpolar focusing on the Weddell Sea, with particularly high resolution (2̃0 km) in the DOVETAIL area. The northern limb of the Weddell Gyre exhibits an eastward Weddell Sea Deep Water transport across 44ʿW of 24 Sv. Export rates of Weddell Sea Deep Water through gaps in theSouth Scotia Ridge are estimated to be 6.4 Sv with a semi-annual cycle of ± 0.6 Sv, which can be correlated to atmospheric cyclone activity and Weddell Gyre strength. Sensitivity studies considering extreme sea ice conditions in the Weddell Sea show higher (lower) exports in years of minimum (maximum) winter sea ice extent. This can be attributed to the local change of the surface stress achieved by wind and ice. Lagrangian ...

    Remote sensing of the Northwest African upwelling and its production dynamics (2010)
    Univ. Bremen
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: Carbon export; SeaWiFS; variability; upwelling; Atlantic Ocean; chlorophyll filament; SeaWiFS; SST. - The North Atlantic off NW Africa is characterized by the trade wind induced upwelling of cold and nutrient rich waters. As one of most strongest eastern boundary upwelling areas it is marked by low sea surface temperature and high bio-production, both subject to strong seasonal and interannual variations.Satellite measurements of sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) in the upper water-column were used to (a) recognize the upwelling of deep water and its distribution and mixing in the surface, (b) identify the development of phytoplankton blooms and (c) provide further insights in the characteristics of its variations.Measurements of surface Chl-a were compared to deep-sea fluxes of organic carbon in order to determine the relationship between both parameters and to further calculate the export of Corg and the export variation strength.The off-shore extension of SST-defined upwelling from 1988 through 1999 between 18ʿ and 25ʿN shows maxima in January and May/June with an average area of 140,000 km2 (standard deviation of 20,000 km2). Minima in August exhibit an extension of 43,000 km2 (15,000 km2 standard deviation). A correlation between ...

    Atmospheric parameter retrieval from UV-vis-NIR limb scattering measurements (2010)
    Univ. Bremen
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: The hyperspectral UV-vis-NIR spectrometer SCIAMACHY will be launched aboard the European satellite Envisat. Its limb measurements will provide vertically resolved profiles of trace gases and other atmospheric parameters. No retrieval algorithms and radiative transfer models have been established for these measurements yet.In this thesis, a unique, fast radiative transfer model for UV-vis-NIR limb radiances has been developed, implemented, and validated. It takes into account the sphericity of the atmosphere and up to two orders of scattering and surface reflection. The weighting functions for all parameters are calculated from analytical formulae. A realistic instrument model with field-of-view integration and signal-to-noise computation and retrieval algorithms have also been implemented. All have been combined in the new program package SCIARAYS. The package has been applied for the characterisation of the limb measurements in several ways:The simulated weighting functions agree well with those due to full multiple scattering. Thus they may be used to calculate theoretical precision estimates and averaging kernels. In conformance with this, test retrievals with approximate weighting functions converge correctly. Therefore, the approximate weighting functions of SCIARAYS are well suited for retrievals from SCIAMACHYś limb measurements.Detailed theoretical retrieval precisions have been calculated for SCIAMACHYś trace gas targets. The conclusion is that a UV-vis-NIR limb sensor like SCIAMACHY is well suited for studying the vertical structure of the stratosphere and also of the upper troposphere above cloud top.Further investigations show that the vertical resolution of retrievals from SCIAMACHYś limb measurements can be improved beyond its geometrical limits. As a trade-off for better vertical resolution, the retrieval precision gets worse. Thus O3 profile features with 1km vertical extent will be detectable with a precision of 20-30%.

    Geographie, Raum und geographische Informationssysteme (2010)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: GIS, Geoinformatik, Spatial Theory, Face Intersection, Polygon Clipping, Diagramatic Reasoning. - A Geographic Information System (GIS) is used to handle, analyse and visualize ‘facts’ of the ‘real world’. These ‘facts’ are assumed to be spatial in the sense that they are located at the earth’s surface. The first chapter outlines that the recent success of applied GIS is based on this ‘real world’ approach, which conforms to the tradition of geography as a scientific discipline. While most GIS-applications are pragmatically oriented in solving ‘real-world-problems’, each attempt to implement ‘spatial theories’ of GIS ends up in the well known geographical dilemma ...

    Modeling of radiative transfer through a spherical planetary atmosphere (2010)
    Univ. Bremen
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-03-29
    Description: During the last years and decades issues related to the physics and chemistry of the Earthś atmosphere have attracted much scientific and public interest. The most important problems are stratospheric ozone loss and the ò̀zone hole ́́above Antarctica, global warming and climate change, and tropospheric air pollution. The understanding of the impact of human activities on the Earthś atmosphere requires measurements on a global scale. These enable the spatial and temporal variability of the atmospheric constituents to be investigated. Recently efforts have been made to establish a global observation system comprising satellite instruments and ground-based networks. To process data supplied by the instruments which belong to the global observation system, the development of radiative transfer models and retrieval algorithms is essential. This thesis contributes to the development of the radiative transfer models and retrieval algorithms intended to interprete measurements of the spectral radiance scattered in the atmosphere or transmitted through the atmosphere in UV-Vis-NIR spectral region performed by a new-generation remote sensing satellite spectrometer SCIAMACHY. In this study, main problems of radiative transfer through a spherical planetary atmosphere compared to a plane-parallel atmosphere are investigated. An efficient spherical radiative transfer model intended to simulate SCIAMACHY limb measurements was developed and validated. The model can also be used for the interpretation of measurements performed by other space-borne instruments as well as to compute air mass factors for ground-based measurements. An approximate approach allowing the simulation of limb measurements to be substantially accelerated was developed and its accuracy was investigated. Furthermore, a numerical radiative transfer model intended to simulate SCIAMACHY occultation measurements was developed and then coupled with an appropriate selected inverse technique.
