Examples: Fires Air Quality Solar Industry

CAMS estimates the emissions from biomass burning daily and globally. A striking figure on the importance of such information for climate: 2015 emissions of CO2 from fires in Indonisia were higher than (estimated) total annual industrial emissions from Japan or Germany. CAMS air quality forecasts

provide quantitative information on episodes daily and up to 4 days in advance. They support a wide range of applications (apps, press, city-scale downscaling, emissions reduction scenarios…). Long-range transported plumes (volcanoes, desert dust, fires...) are captured by CAMS and can inform national and local authorities.

CAMS information on airborne particles, which affect the amount of solar radiation reaching the surface, is useful to assess the productivity of solar power plants. CAMS has for instance supported GeoModel Solar, a company specialising in site qualification, planning, financing and operation of solar energy systems.

C3S: Monitors and analyses the Earth System to build a global picture and provide the data, tools and products needed by policy makers, societal and economic sectors to mitigate and adapt to a changing climate.

24

• The climate is changing and with it an increase in extreme weather events such as flooding, heat wave and drought.

• The data captured, analysed and tailored by C3S helps sectors affected to identify the risks, to adapt and identify business opportunities.

• C3S data provide the evidence.• Released online, the C3S maps

show the trends clearly and provide key indicators of climate change.
