BfG MapService 'CC_GAR_Prec_2000_2100', OGC:WMS 1.3.0; The maps and data sets summarise climate change information resulting from a well defined ensemble of 14 regional climate simulations (mainly based on EU-ENSEMBLES) for periods 2021 to 2050 and 2071 to 2100. The information are expressed as change of air temperature and precipitation with respect to the simulated present (1971-2000) averaged over meteorological seasons and 50km grid boxes. Based on the ensemble, a high, central and low estimate of the possible future development is given.

GNSS Pegelmonitoring der Bundesanstalt für Gewässerkunde. Inhalt sind alle relevanten Informationen zur Auswertung von GNSS-Beobachtungen aller GNSS-Stationen entlang der Deutschen Bucht, die einen Pegelbezug aufweisen. Dies beinhaltet neben den BfG eigenen Stationen auch sechs GREF-Stationen des Bundesamt fpr kartografie und Geodäsie (BKG). Neben Informationen zu den GNSS-Systemen werden auch aktuelle Höhendifferenzen zwischen den GNSS-Markern und den Pegelnullpunkten bereitgestellt. Die Stationen der BfG sind mit den Pegelanlagen fest verbunden (GNSS@tide gauge), während der Pegelbezug der sechs GREF Stationen im Rahmen einer Kooperation durch die WSV/BfG realisiert wird.

This assessment report, referred to as the HOLAS report, is the fi rst attempt to conduct a Holistic Assessment of the ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea. It is a product of the Helsinki Commission (HELCOM), the intergovernmental body composed of the Baltic Sea coastal states and the EU, to implement the Convention on the Protection of the Marine Environment of the Baltic Sea Area, 1992 (the Helsinki Convention). The assessment serves two key purposes. Firstly, it presents an integrated assessment of the ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea as well as thematic assessments of ‘eutrophication status’, ‘biodiversity status’ and ‘hazardous substances status’. Secondly, it sets a baseline for evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of the measures of the HELCOM Baltic Sea Action Plan that was adopted in 2007. Furthermore, the Initial Holistic Assessment is also a regional contribution to the initial assessment according to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) for those HELCOM Contracting Parties that are also EU Member States. This assessment also covers a number of aspects of Good Environmental Status, as described by the qualitative descriptors of Annex III of the MSFD, including eutrophication, contamination by hazardous substances and biodiversity aspects. It will facilitate the work of the EU Member States of HELCOM in implementing the requirements of the Directive that are related to those descriptors, especially the development of the initial assessment, targets and associated indicators for Good Environmental Status that are due in June 2012. Moreover, it provides input to the overall requirement of the Directive for coordination and cooperation among the countries within a marine region. The HOLAS report is supplemented by thematic assessments which can be downloaded at http://www.helcom.fi/BSAP_assessment/en_GB/main/

In July 2022 we mapped the tidal area of the Elbe near Cuxhaven and Brunsbüttel. The data was gathered by UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) with a RBG camera and a PDGNSS-Rover (Precice Differential Global Navigation Satellite System) in three areas: 1) Otterndorf at low tidal level (beach area), 2) Neufelderkoog at low tidal level (wadden area), 3) Neufeld at high tidal level (flooded reed area). For each area we provide a digital orthophoto and the correlation of the measurement timing to the local sea level. The measurements were obtained at the same time as the radar satellite Sentinel 1 crossed the area. The data is structured in three zip-archives corresponding to the study areas: 1) 20220712_Tnw_Otterndorf.zip: provides the time series data as comma-separated text files (CSV)  provides (a) a digital orthophoto at 1,5 cm resolution, (b) an overview jpg showing of the measurement times and the local sea level, (c) timing of the UAV-flightlines and (d) two PDGNSS measurement series collected simultaneously as csv. (downloadable as 10.4 GB zip archive),  2) 20220712_Tnw_NeufelderkoogPriel.zip: provides (a) a digital orthophoto at 2 cm resolution and (b) an overview jpg showing of the measurement times and the local sea level (downloadable as 6,3 GB zip archive),  3) 20220720_Thw_Neufeld.zip: provides (a) a digital orthophoto at 2 cm resolution and (b) an overview jpg showing of the measurement times and the local sea level (downloadable as 8,4 GB zip archive). The data is used in the frame of the project "satellite based water-land-boundary detection" (Sat-Land-Fluss), as validation for Sentinel-1 derived water-land determinations. Sat-Land-Fluss was a R&D project lasting from 2020-2024, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport in the 4th project call "National Copernicus Application" (50EW2015).

Human activities at sea and on land as well as the emerging threats of climate change put considerable pressures on marine ecosystems. The QSR 2010 is a milestone for evaluating the quality status of the North-East Atlantic and for taking forward OSPAR’s vision of a clean, healthy and biologically diverse sea. Ten years of joint monitoring and assessment by OSPAR Contracting Parties of the marine environment provides the scientific basis for this holistic report, which has been prepared based on the expertise of the many experts from OSPAR Governments and stakeholders who provided input to OSPAR Working Groups and Committees. A peer review by a group of international scientists coordinated by the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, and an e-consultation have both helped to critically review the gathered evidence and the conclusions drawn. This electronic publication presents the QSR 2010 summary report together with its suite of supporting thematic assessments to take stock of achievements in the period 1998–2008, to identify priorities for action, and to provide a baseline for future assessments of the quality status of the North-East Atlantic. The URL of the suite of thematic assessments as part of the QSR 2010 is: http://qsr2010.ospar.org/en/qsr_assessments.html

Die Internetplattform „WasserBLIcK“ wird gemeinsam von den obersten Wasserbehörden des Bundes und der Länder betrieben. „WasserBLIcK“ dient in erster Linie der Information und Kommunikation innerhalb der Wasserwirtschaftsverwaltungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Eine besondere Unterstutzung erfährt die Implementierung der EU-Wasserrahmenrichtlinie und das damit verbundene Datenmanagement und Berichtswesen. Zu diesem Zweck werden Daten im „WasserBLIcK“ durch eine Zugangskennung geschützt. Der Zugang zum Extranet der Wasserwirtschaftverwaltungen (WWV-intern) ist erst nach Registrierung am System möglich. Darüber hinaus haben Vertreter der Wasserwirtschaft und wasserwirtschaftlich interessierte Personen und Gruppen die Möglichkeit den Service der Plattform zu nutzen. Zum Teil sind Informationen damit öffentlich zugänglich. Das Informationsangebot in der Plattform wird ausschließlich von außen bereitgestellt. Weder die Beiträge aus den Verwaltungen noch die Beiträge aus der Kreisen der interessierten Öffentlichkeit werden an zentraler Stelle redaktionell bearbeitet.
