Working with Users within DUP (B,CH,NL,I)

2 small projects running in parallel (1 year duration, 100 K€, 2001):

POLPO Demonstration Project : Pollution Hot Spot Monitoring from GOME Applied to the Po-basin

Project Aim: to demonstrate the feasibility to combine ground based measurements with satellite measurements for regional air pollution monitoring (Po-valley emissions, trans-boundary transport)

TEMIS Project Definition: Tropospheric Emission Monitoring Internet Service

Project Aim: find users, collect user requirements, identify few core users, define a service for these users based on existing EO missions

Summer means (June, July, August 2000 and 2001) of tropospheric NO2 columns from GOME – POLPO Output Example

Follow on of the 2 small activities:

TEMIS Project: Tropospheric Emission Monitoring Internet Service - http://www.temis.nl/ (1M€, mid 2002-end 2004)

Companies involved: consortium of 6 companies (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, and The Netherlands) lead by KNMI

Project Aim: to support air pollution monitoring, UV radiation monitoring Kyoto Protocol monitoring, and aviation control 

Instruments: GOME, SCIAMACHY, ATSR

UV information

Tropospheric trace gas information (NO2, SO2, BrO, Aerosol – Level 2 data and synoptic maps by using assimilation techniques) in order to support air pollution monitoring

Tropospheric ozone in 2002

Daily UV dose for Europe

User Needs for improved Satellite Measurements on Air Pollution Monitoring

Spatial resolution: few km

Temporal resolution: at least once a day – preferred hourly

Better accuracy of retrieved species in the troposphere (e.g. GOME NO2: 30-70%)

Insure data homogeneity and continuation over a long time period

GOME Follow-on Missions

Chemical Weather User Requirements Workshop – Nov. 2003

Who are the Users?:

• Atmospheric modelling community (ECMWF, MeteoFrance, UKMO, MPI, etc)

• Trans-boundary pollution monitoring (EMEP)• Regional air quality monitoring agencies (Athens, Lombardia, Flanders,

Rhine Valley, etc)

What are there requirements?:

Trace Gas: SO2, NOx, O3, VOC, CH4, CO, CO2, N2O, NH3, H2CO, HOx

Aerosol: PM10, PM2.5, and possibly smaller particles in the near future.Speciation (anthropogenic, dust, soot, marine, etc.)

Time period: Long term data setNear-real time monitoring and forecast

Horizontal Res: few kmVertical Res: varies from few meters to integrated tropospheric column

amounts

Applications• Climate change and atmospheric chemistry• PM emission sources and dynamics• Background for regional air quality monitoring• Atmospheric correction of optical satellite data

Products/Activities• High Resolution (1km) global aerosol data set (target time span: 1995 - 2005)

Land and Ocean (Optical depth, Ångstrøm coeff)Size distribution: PM10, PM2.5 , PM1.

• Models assimilation and intercomparison exercise• Products tailored for different types of user - e.g. multi-resolution, AOD vs [PM2.5], etc.

Input: ATSR, MERIS, MSG

Invitation to tender: To be issued in mid Feb 2004 (max. 1 M€)

Methods

Policy Needs for Atmospheric Monitoring

Montreal-Protocol: seems to be solved for many Politicians (e.g. closing of ground-based monitoring stations)

Convention on Long-Range Trans-boundary Air Pollution: high political attention (e.g. impact of PM on

Health)

Kyoto-Protocol, United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change: high political attention (e.g. CO2 trading)
