What the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) is
Changes in atmospheric composition also have less obvious impacts, such as the supply of energy from solar power plants and the safe operation of transport systems.
CAMS adds value to air quality and atmospheric composition observations. We provide consistent information on the atmosphere anywhere in the world, allowing users to assess the past and to predict the next few days.
The observations come from satellites, as well as sensors on the ground, in the oceans and in the air. We support policymakers, businesses and citizens in dealing with air pollution episodes and preparing for the future in the context of a changing atmosphere.
Main areas of focus:• Air quality and atmospheric
composition
• Solar energy
• The ozone layer and ultraviolet radiation
• Emissions and surface fluxes of pollutants and greenhouse gases
• Climate forcing
CAMS supports its users by• Delivering daily information on the air
we breathe.
• Providing historical data on solar radiation to support the renewable energy sector.
• Compiling emission data, including hourly estimates of wildfire emissions and estimates of net fluxes of greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) at the Earth’s surface, to help understand key factors affecting climate change.
• Providing tools and assessment reports to help policymakers in Europe.
Who uses CAMS dataAs well as businesses, public organisations and scientific researchers, we empower individuals, inform policymakers, and support everyone working to mitigate the effects of poor-quality air.

Many of today’s environmental concerns, such as the increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases, the hole in the ozone layer, and the health implications of breathing polluted air, can be addressed by investigating and understanding the composition of the atmosphere.
350 million observations are integrated into CAMS every 12 hours

• Air quality monitoring, forecast information and maps
• Historic assessments of air quality back to 2003
• Identification of pollutants and their sources
• Forecasts of pollen levels
• Resources for evaluating emission control measures
• Historical data records for solar radiation
How CAMS big data can be used
Businesses can use our data to improve their existing services, create new products, or to simply customise and display our products.
Industry can benefit from forecasts of upcoming extreme air quality or pollution events that might affect sensitive equipment or production lines.
Public services and scientists can rely on our comprehensive and quality assured data.
Over 2500 entities routinely use CAMS data, covering the areas of air quality, policy support, solar energy, the ozone layer and UV radiation, as well as emissions, surface fluxes and estimates of climate forcing.
1.4 terabytes of fresh data are produced every day
Anyone can view and download our data, and we provide a range of ready-to-use products

Core to our service is the provision of free, full and open access quality-assured data and tools related to atmospheric monitoring.
Anyone can dive into our wealth of information: atmosphere.copernicus.eu/data
Free and open access to data
We use satellite and non-satellite observations with computer-based forecast models to support businesses, policymakers and scientists dealing with the challenges and opportunities related to air quality and the composition of the atmosphere. Over 100 million people
worldwide are seeing air quality information based on CAMS
Supporting usersWe are committed to helping users make the most of our open data. As part of our service, we provide a range of channels for getting the necessary help and support:
1. Knowledge Base 2. Online documentation
3. User training 4. Professional helpdesk

CAMS is one of six thematic streams of Copernicus services. It is implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) on behalf of the European Union.
Copernicus is the European Union’s Earth observation programme. Copernicus provides free and open data about our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all. It offers information services based on satellite and in situ (land, ocean and air) data.
You can meet the CAMS team at a range of events, including scientific and industry conferences. There are also dedicated user workshops.
In addition, there are opportunities for free training and education, such as an online course on atmospheric composition, in partnership with EUMETSAT.
