Description
ECMWF has been entrusted to operate the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) on behalf of the European Commission until the end of 2020. CAMS provides continuous data
and information on atmospheric composition. The global service combines a state-of-the art transport and chemistry model with satellite data from various sensors to provide
global daily analyses and 5-day forecasts of 3-dimensional fields of atmospheric composition including ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and aerosols.
More details about CAMS can be found on http://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/.
In this talk we will give some background information about CAMS and show which atmospheric composition observations are being assimilated routinely in the near-real time system.
We will also demonstrate the benefits of assimilating height resolved observations, for example O3 profiles from MIPAS and MLS and how ALTIUS data could fill the gap that will be
left if the MLS instrument dies.
