German National Report for the 9th meeting of WMO/UNEP Ozone Re- search Managers, Geneva, 13-15 May 2014 Still a large number of institutions in Germany have been very active in ozone and UV re- search and monitoring. Table 1 as a summary shows a compilation of these institutes and their activities. Generally, universities and research centers (MPI, DLR, KIT, FZ-Jülich, AWI) are more research oriented, government agencies (DWD, BfS, UBA) are focused on long-term monitoring. Germany is a key player for several satellite instruments (GOME, SCIAMACHY, MIPAS, GOME- 2/MetOp-A, GOME-2/MetOp-B). Ground based long-term observations in Germany are provided primarily by DWD (Hohenpeissenberg and Lindenberg stations) and by AWI in the Arctic and Ant- arctic (Ny-Ålesund/Koldewey and Neumayer stations). UV-monitoring is carried out by BfS, UBA and DWD. Germany is also supporting crucial international quality-assurance and quality-control activities by hosting the World Calibration Centre for Ozone Sondes (WCCOS) and the WMO RA VI Regional Dobson Calibration Center (RDCC-E, in cooperation with the Czech Republic).

Scientific data processing for GOME-2 (since 2006) are done as well by IUP. The Institute für Meteorologie und Klimaforschung (IMK) of the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) operates ozone analyzers aboard the CARIBIC observatory (www.caribic.de) which is based on a 1.5 ton automated measurement container deployed monthly on 4 consecutive long distance flights. A precise large scale UTLS climatology has been established and is contin- ued. CARIBIC is part of IAGOS (www.iagos.org) which combines the MOZAIC approach (packag- 290 es aboard a large number of aircraft for ozone and other trace gases and aerosol) with the CARIBIC approach (a large automated flying atmospheric chemistry observatory). IAGOS is being fostered by the German Ministry of Education and research as a European Infrastructure. IAGOS- CORE and IAGOS-CARIBIC form, especially at times when satellite capabilities have been re- duced, an increasingly important pillar in global scale observations. Germany's Meteorological Service (DWD) is running a comprehensive ground-based measurement program at the Observatories Hohenpeissenberg and Lindenberg, monitoring the ozone vertical distribution and total ozone columns on a regular and long-term basis. Special ef- forts are put into high quality and long-term consistency. The time series cover more than four decades for column ozone and ozone profiles (Dobson since 1964 (Potsdam/Lindenberg) and 1967 (Hohenpeissenberg) and Brewer since 1983, balloon-sonde since 1967, and more than 25 years for stratospheric LIDAR observations up to 48km (since 1987). Data are regularly submitted to the data centers at Toronto (WOUDC), NDACC, NILU and Thessaloniki. In addition to the opera- tional UV-network of the BfS, DWD continues to measure UV-B radiation for research and devel- opment purposes. The German Aerospace Centre (DLR-EOC) provides the operational satellite total ozone and tropospheric ozone data for the sensors GOME, SCIAMACHY, GOME-2/MetOp-A, and GOME-2/MetOp-B. In the same way DLR-EOC is leading the development of the operational sys- tems for the TROPOMI/Sentinel-5-Precursor mission. Ozone as well as trace gas measurements (total NO2, tropospheric NO2, SO2, BrO, H2O, HCHO) and cloud information from GOME-2 are fee available two hours after sensing. The following figure 1 shows the ozone measured by the GOME-2 sensors on September 29th, 2013. DLR/DFD is providing much of the ground-processing for several satellite missions and also hosts the World Data Centre for Remote Sensing of the At- mosphere (WDC-RSAT).

The weather was magnificent. ... The whole plain was covered with huts, cottages, and tents. Every nation under the sun was represented there; and every language might be heard spoken at the same time. It was a perfect Babel re-enacted. ... The moment had arrived for saying ‘Goodbye!’ The scene was a touching one. ... ‘Thirty-five!—thirty-six!—thirty-seven!—thirty-eight!—thirty-nine!—forty!

  • 183-Wildland-Limited.Pdf
    WildLand Limited National Planning Framework 4 – Submission Wildland Limited Wildland Limited is an organisation dedicated to the rehabilitation of some of Scotland’s most precious landscapes as part of a 200 year vision of conservation. The company is the custodian of three Scottish estates; Wildland North Coast, Wildland Cairngorm, and Wildland West & Ness. Wildland has planted over five million trees in the Scottish Highlands and created the conditions to regenerate countless more – nurturing a landscape where wildlife can thrive and nature can heal itself. Wildland also operates a number of market-leading hospitality venues across the Highlands, with proceeds going back into conservation initiatives. For centuries, some of Europe’s most diverse and special landscapes have been decimated by deforestation, species loss and the erosion of natural habitats. Mountainsides that once played host to a rich and living forest now stand denuded and impoverished. The rivers, lochs and seas around them are also under threat. Much of the peatland that punctuates the landscape and stores Scotland’s carbon has been degraded and is now categorised as being in ‘unfavourable condition’ against IUCN and EU standards. In the face of a climate emergency, urgent action is needed to turn the tide. Wildland’s mission is to make an active and meaningful contribution to the restoration of some of Scotland’s living landscapes. Our investment in Scotland’s wild land won’t just help nature heal itself – sustainable and thriving local communities lie at the heart of our vision. By developing our natural capital, whether by planting five million trees in the Cairngorms, allowing the conditions for natural regeneration of native woodland, or by restoring marine habitats in Sutherland, everyone stands to gain.
