Transcript Explanation on working group tasks

ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY
APPLICATIONS WORKSHOP
20-21 January 2004, ESTEC
Tasks of Working Groups
by Albert P H Goede
Objective of the Workshop
User Consultation on present and future
needs for atmosphere chemistry
observations
to serve as input for the
 Definition of Integrated Global Observation
System, notably the satellite component
work to carried out in the ESA CAPACITY project
Working Group Themes/aspects
Climate Change Long-term monitoring & trends in
atmospheric composition in relation to
chemistry- climate interaction, observation
UTLS, natural variability, providing input to
IPCC assessments
Montreal
Protocol Monitoring and Verification
Kyoto
stratospheric ozone trend and evolution,
surface UV exposure, GHG emissions
inventories time series, quantification, global
completeness, providing policy support
Troposphere Cleansing power of atmosphere and trend
Composition/Chemistry of the free troposphere
Air Pollution CLRTAP (Convention Long-Range Transport),
EC directives on air quality, policy support
Forecasts
ozone hole and surface UV, chemical weather,
improvement of NWP, regional and city scale
model input, aviation management

User Information Needs specify data products
with region/global, spatial resolution/range,
temporal resolution/averages, time series etc
User Segment regional environmental agency,
weather service, climate change agency etc
Policy foundation Kyoto, CLRTAP etc
Science review what are the underlying
science issues, what do we know, what is still
uncertain, etc
Strategy for Integrated Observation System
What infra structure is there on ground, in situ,
in space and how to improve or fill gaps. What
can be achieved in 2, 5, 10 years time and how
to go about

First draft: End of Workshop January 2004
Input to CAPACITY PM1, 4 February 2004
Derive observational requirements
Assess how well these requirements are met
by existing and by planned space missions
and ground and in-situ observations. What is
missing. Per application and per System.
Consolidated set of high level user
requirements for Integrated Global
Observation System
CAPACITY PM2, April 2004
Feed back from Users at Mid term review 17/18
June 2004. Strategy 2, 5, 10 years. Priorities.

CAPACITY
Definition of a global observation system, integrating space
and in-situ observations, that responds to (end-)user
requirements. Tool for integration is data assimilation
into models.





To define (end-)user requirements for individual
applications (Task 1). User consultation meeting.
Relate these to observational requirements (Task 2.1)
How well are the user requirements met by the existing
and approved mix of satellites and in-situ observation
systems? What is missing? (Task 2.2 and Task 2.3 for
each application)
How well does combination of missions (existing,
planned and conceptual) meet individual applications?
(Task 3)
The time frame projected is the period 2010-2020,
concurrent
with Chemistry

use
of MetOp
