1 Martin Suttie Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service

2 Atmosphere Monitoring Service MISSION Supporting the European strategy "Living well within the boundaries of Turning our planet" research by combining models into operational and observations services to monitor and forecast atmospheric pollution. Contributing to Europe s green economy by providing timely and accurate information on aerosols, chemical pollutants and greenhouse gases.

3 Atmosphere Monitoring Service A SIGNIFICANT HERITAGE A decade-long series of R&D projects and experience in engaging with users and potential users in Europe and across the world Strategy Socio-eco. impact Experts Users

4 Atmosphere Monitoring Service CAMS OPERATIONAL STRUCTURE

5 Atmosphere Monitoring Service CAMS PROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIES

6 Atmosphere Monitoring Service PORTFOLIO AIR QUALITY AND ATMOSPHERIC COMPOSITION European air quality analyses, forecasts and assessments in support of reporting and policy making, pollen forecasts, global transport of constituents/pollutants... CLIMATE FORCING Distributions of aerosol components and their radiative impacts, other radiative forcings...

7 Atmosphere Monitoring Service OZONE LAYER AND UV Monitoring and forecasting of the ozone layer / hole, UV index, UV radiation (crops, ecosystems)... SOLAR RADIATION Estimates of solar irradiance at surface, improved potential yield assessments for solar plants... EMISSIONS AND SURFACE FLUXES Estimates of human emissions globally and in Europe (high-resolution), emissions by wildfires, surface fluxes of CO 2, CH 4 and N 2 O...

8 Atmosphere Monitoring Service

9 Martin Suttie Copernicus Climate Change Service

10 Climate Change Service MISSION An authoritative source of climate information for Europe covering past Turning climate and research trends, current into state operational of the climate and services projections of possible scenarios of future climate. Building upon national and international existing efforts Supporting the market for climate services in Europe

11 Climate Change Service How is the climate changing? Will climate change continue, accelerate? Earth observations Reanalyses What are the societal impacts? Climate indicators Sectoral information Predictions Projections

12 Climate Change Service e.g.,fp7 Space call ESA, Eumetsat, EEA, WMO.. Evaluation & QC from European commission ORGANISATION Climate Data Store from other bodies e.g., MS, Sectoral Information System Stakeholders & users Outreach & Dissemination

13 Climate Change Service CLIMATE DATA STORE Series of ECV datasets and climate indicators: Observed, reanalysed and simulated Supporting adaptation/mitigation policies for Europe Using: multi-model forecasts and projections; re-analyses; data rescue and reprocessing,
