  • Efficient Radar Forward Operator for Operational Data Assimilation
    Efficient Radar Forward Operator for Operational Data Assimilation within the COSMO-model Zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines DOKTORS DER NATURWISSENSCHAFTEN von der Fakultät für Physik des Karlsruher Instituts für Technologie (KIT) genehmigte DISSERTATION von Dipl.-Math. Yuefei Zeng aus Fujian, China Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 05.07.2013 Referent: Prof. Dr. Klaus D. Beheng Korreferent: Prof. Dr. Christoph Kottmeier Abstract The new weather radar network of the German Weather Service (DWD) will, after its complete update in 2014, comprise 17 dual-polarimetric C-Band Doppler radars evenly distributed throughout Germany for complete coverage. They provide unique 3-dimensional information about dynamical and microphysical characteristics of precipi- tating clouds in high spatial and temporal resolutions. Up to now, these data are not used in the operational COSMO-model of DWD except within the framework of the latent heat nudging and for a simple nudging method of Doppler velocity. Future applications are, however, planned to take better advantage of radar data within an upcoming new 4-Dimensional Local Ensemble Transform Kalman Filter (4D-LETKF) data assimilation system, which will be based on the operational convective-scale ensemble prediction system (EPS) COSMO-DE-EPS (grid spacing of 2.8 km, rapid update cycle, Central Europe domain). It is assumed that the assimilation of weather radar data is a promising means for improvements of short-term precipitation forecasts, especially in convective situations. However, the observed quantities (reflectivity, Doppler velocity and polarization prop- erties) are not directly comparable to the prognostic variables of the numerical model. In order to, on one hand, enable radar data assimilation in the framework of the above- mentioned 4D-LETKF-assimilation system and, on the other hand, to facilitate compar- isons of numerical simulations with radar observations in the context of cloud micro- physics verification, a comprehensive modular radar forward operator has been developed.

Both platforms are conceived for the research on the behaviour of living organisms in the environment of space and on simulated conditions of other planets (Mars). The conditions for a possible transfer of life between planets can be studied. Both facilities can also be used for materials and components validation and as test bed for advanced technologies envisaged for future exploration missions (radio-protection, miniaturized devices, electronic components). Since 1992 BIOPAN has flown five times aboard the Russian FOTON re-entry cap- sule.

Ionizing radiations reaching the surface and subsurface of Mars are however detrimental for the long-term preservation of biomolecules. We show here that desiccation can protect carotenoid Raman signatures in the desert cyanobacterium Chroococcidiopsis sp. CCMEE 029 even after high-dose gamma irradiation. Indeed, while the height of the carotenoids Raman peaks was considerably reduced in hydrated cells exposed to gamma irradiation, it remained stable in dried cells irradiated with the highest tested dose of 113 kGy of gamma rays, losing only 15–20% of its non-irradiated intensity.

The valley is about 2.5 km wide; the scene covers 9.8 km by 27.9 km centred on 5.1°N/48.26°W. The valley floor at top right exhibits a 200 m-wide channel covered by dunes and debris.

  • The Complex Molecules Detector (CMOLD): a Fluidic-Based Instrument Suite to Search for (Bio)Chemical Complexity on Mars and Icy Moons
    ASTROBIOLOGY Volume 20, Number 9, 2020 Mary Ann Liebert, Inc. DOI: 10.1089/ast.2019.2167 The Complex Molecules Detector (CMOLD): A Fluidic-Based Instrument Suite to Search for (Bio)chemical Complexity on Mars and Icy Moons Alberto G. Faire´n,1,2 Javier Go´mez-Elvira,3 Carlos Briones,1 Olga Prieto-Ballesteros,1 Jose´ Antonio Rodrı´guez-Manfredi,1 Raquel Lo´pez Heredero,3 Toma´s Belenguer,3 Andoni G. Moral,3 Mercedes Moreno-Paz,1 and Vı´ctor Parro1 Abstract Organic chemistry is ubiquitous in the Solar System, and both Mars and a number of icy satellites of the outer Solar System show substantial promise for having hosted or hosting life. Here, we propose a novel astrobiologically focused instrument suite that could be included as scientific payload in future missions to Mars or the icy moons: the Complex Molecules Detector, or CMOLD. CMOLD is devoted to determining different levels of prebiotic/biotic chemical and structural targets following a chemically general approach (i.e., valid for both terrestrial and non- terrestrial life), as well as their compatibility with terrestrial life. CMOLD is based on a microfluidic block that distributes a liquid suspension sample to three instruments by using complementary technologies: (1) novel mi- croscopic techniques for identifying ultrastructures and cell-like morphologies, (2) Raman spectroscopy for detecting universal intramolecular complexity that leads to biochemical functionality, and (3) bioaffinity-based systems (in- cluding antibodies and aptamers as capture probes) for finding life-related and nonlife-related molecular structures. We highlight our current developments to make this type of instruments flight-ready for upcoming Mars missions: the Raman spectrometer included in the science payload of the ESAs Rosalind Franklin rover (Raman Laser Spectro- meter instrument) to be launched in 2022, and the biomarker detector that was included as payload in the NASA Icebreaker lander mission proposal (SOLID instrument).
