Atmosphere Monitoring Service
https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides continuous data and information on the composition of the atmosphere. The service describes the current situation, forecasts the situation a few days ahead, and analyses consistently retrospective data records for recent years.
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service supports many applications in a variety of domains including health, environmental monitoring, renewable energies, meteorology and climatology. The service has been operational since July 2015.
The service focuses on five main areas:
- Air quality and atmospheric composition
- Ozone layer and ultraviolet radiation
- Emissions and surface fluxes
- Solar radiation
- Climate forcing
Some examples for the use of the service:
- It provides daily information on the global atmospheric composition by monitoring and forecasting constituents such as greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide and methane), reactive gases (e.g. carbon monoxide, oxidized nitrogen compounds, sulfur dioxide), ozone and aerosols.
- It provides near-real-time analysis and 4-day forecasts, as well as reanalysis, of the European air quality, thus enabling a permanent assessment of the air we breathe.
- Furthermore, public and private organizations involved in solar energy usage can access suitable and accurate information on the solar radiation resources at the Earth's surface. This information is also of major importance in domains like health, agriculture and renewable energies.
