Global data set for nitrogen and carbon stable isotopes of tunas

Die Erfassung und &#220;berwachung des Wetters und des Klimas auf den Weltmeeren hat eine lange Tradition beim Deutschen Wetterdienst (DWD) und seinen Vorg&#228;ngerorganisationen in Hamburg. Seit dem 19. Jahrhundert werden auf Schiffen systematisch meteorologische und ozeanographische Informationen gesammelt, die ein detailliertes Verst&#228;ndnis des maritimen Wetters und des Klimas erm&#246;glichen. Bis heute sind die meteorologischen Schiffsbeobachtungen eine wichtige Datenquelle f&#252;r die Wettervorhersage und die Klima&#252;berwachung. Der Deutsche Wetterdienst betreibt ein gro&#223;es meteorologisches maritimes Messnetz, welches mehr als 500 Schiffe umfasst, die regelm&#228;&#223;ig Wetterbeobachtungen auf allen Weltmeeren durchf&#252;hren. Diese Schiffe beteiligen sich am internationalen Voluntary Observing Ship (VOS) Scheme und ihre Beobachtungen werden in Echtzeit &#252;ber das globale Telekommunikationssystem (GTS) der WMO verbreitet. Dabei wird eine zunehmende Anzahl von Beobachtungen von automatischen Wetterstationen an Bord von Schiffen geliefert. Neben der Nutzung f&#252;r die operationelle Wettervorhersage sind die maritim-meteorologischen Observationen ein wichtiger Beitrag zu klimatologischen Archiven wie der In-situ Datenbank des maritimen Klimadatenzentrums des DWD. Diese Datenbank besteht aus qualit&#228;tskontrollierten Daten aus Echtzeit- und delayed mode Datenstr&#246;men, sowie aus einer gro&#223;en Menge historischer Daten. Der Datenbestand w&#228;chst kontinuierlich durch aktuelle operationelle Dateneing&#228;nge, aber auch durch die Digitalisierung alter meteorologischer Schiffsjournale und reicht von heute bis weit zur&#252;ck in das 19 Jahrhundert. Im Rahmen des internationalen Datenaustauschs &#252;ber die WMO / IOC VOS Global Data Assembly Centres (GDACs) werden die maritimen Klimadaten regelm&#228;&#223;ig in den International Comprehensive Ocean-Atmosphere Data Set (ICOADS) integriert. Des Weiteren werden die Daten f&#252;r eine Vielzahl von Klimaanwendungen verwendet, z.B. als Input f&#252;r Reanalysen, f&#252;r die operationelle Klima&#252;berwachung, klimatologische Analysen und Datenprodukte, sowie f&#252;r die Kalibrierung von Satellitenbeobachtungen.

We present a detailed global data-set of volcanic sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions during the period 2005-2017. Measurements were obtained by scanning-DOAS instruments of the NOVAC network at 32 volcanoes, and processed using a standardized procedure. We reveal the daily statistics of volcanic gas emissions under a variety of volcanological and meteorological conditions. Data from several volcanoes are presented for the first time. Our results&#160; are compared with yearly averages derived from measurements from space by the Aura/OMI instrument and with historical inventories of GEIA. This comparison shows some interesting differences which reasons are briefly discussed. Data is openly available through the web repository at https://novac.chalmers.se/.

Does the enumeration of ethnic, racial, and/or religious categories on national household censuses increase the likelihood of conflict? The authors propose a theory of intergroup relations that emphasizes the conflictual effects of institutionalizing boundaries between social identity groups. The article investigates the relationship between counting and various forms of conflict with an original, global data set that classifies the type of enumeration used in more than one thousand census questionnaires in more than 150 countries spanning more than two centuries. Through a series of cross-national statistical analyses, the authors find a robust association between enumeration of ethnic cleavages on the census and various forms of competition and conflict, including violent ethnic civil war. The plausibility of the theory is further demonstrated through case study analysis of religious conflict in India.

Global Data

Having explored how official multilingualism has emerged as a product of historical and sociopolitical development, this chapter moves on to survey the extent of the phenomenon in the contemporary world. The data set offers a panoramic view of jurisdictions around the world that are officially bilingual or multilingual. Although there is not enough room to provide a detailed history of any particular jurisdiction, the chapter annotates the data and makes a number of generalized observations. The global data provide a sense of scale that speaks for itself and allow one to observe patterns and trends that help make sense of the phenomenon. Although linguistic demographics and the ideology of linguistic nationalism have a role to play, they are insufficient to explain the data. Official multilingualism is largely a post-colonial legacy, but there is also an emergent trend that official language policy responds to market forces under late capitalism.
