COPERNICUS
Copernicus is a flagship space programmes of the EU (€4.5bil until end 2020).
The “Sentinels” satellites constitute the backbone of the Space infrastructure of Copernicus.
CAMS is one of 6 information services, with a budget of about €12mil/year.
Copernicus data policy is full, free and open

CAMS REGIONAL REANALYSES
Regional atmospheric composition re-analyses
• Combines satellite and validated surface observations as well as model • Maps with no gaps (including outside of cities) • Available 2010 to 2013 (soon 2014); horizontal resolution is 0.1 degree

CAMS REGIONAL REANALYSES (cont.)
AOT40 indicator (mg/m3.hours)
• In the Air Quality Directive, the target value of AOT40 calculated from May to July is 18.000 µg/m3.hours, with a long term objective of 6.000 µg/m3.hours.
• Data for other pollutants are also available (SO2, PM…). • Extension: deposition fluxes?

Engaging in a close collaboration for mutual benefits (1) How EMEP can benefit from CAMS?
• All CAMS information products are freely available. • In particular, annual reanalyses and interim reanalyses over Europe (lead:
INERIS, France) bring the benefits of data assimilation and help put episodes in context, including influence of long-range transported pollution.
• “Policy” products: country-level Source-Receptor study can be activated; green scenarios are run daily to assess effectiveness of (decided or potential) emissions mitigation measures.
• The EMEP/MSC-W model is part of the European multi-model ensemble and is benchmarked daily with the other leading air quality systems.
• Receive feedback in Near-Real-Time on observations (when model/obs deviate from usual statistics), as is done for Numerical Weather Prediction.
• Collaboration on areas of R&D of joint interest: e.g. deposition fluxes, impact from wildfires, volcanic eruptions…
• More? CAMS is user-oriented and supporting EMEP activities is in scope.

Engaging in a close collaboration for mutual benefits (2) What CAMS would like from EMEP?
• Access to high-quality observations, especially in Near-Real-Time and/or with a delay of less than a week for verification and interim reanalysis purposes.
• CAMS regional emissions inventory need to remain in sync with official EMEP emissions, so that CAMS products can be used to their full extent by policy users.
• Receive feedback on current products and help • Collaboration on areas of R&D of joint interest: e.g. deposition fluxes, impact
from wildfires, volcanic eruptions…
A budget of 800k€ has been secured within CAMS especially for working on observations NRT transmission, QC/QA... for EMEP (Europe) and WMO/GAW (globe).
