Abstract:
The Atmosphere Monitoring Service of the European Copernicus Programme (CAMS) is an operational service providing analyses, reanalyses and daily forecasts of aerosols, reactive gases and greenhouse gases on a global scale, and air quality forecasts and reanalyses on a regional scale. The global component is based on the Integrated Forecast System of the ECMWF. In IFS, advanced data assimilation techniques are applied to improve these products using satellite remote sensing observations of the atmospheric composition. For more information: http://atmosphere.copernicus.eu <http://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/.
CAMS has a dedicated validation activity, implemented by a partnership of 12 institutes co-ordinated by KNMI, to document the quality of the global atmospheric composition products. In our contribution we discuss this validation activity, including the measurement data sets, validation requirements, the operational aspects, the upgrade procedure, the validation reports and scoring methods, and the model configurations and assimilation systems validated. Of special concern are the forecasts of high pollution concentration events (fires, dust storms, air pollution events, volcano eruptions).

What is the Joint Oslo Seminar (JOS):
- Atmospheric and climate sciences have a stronghold in Oslo among the four institutions University of Oslo, the Meteorological Institute, CICERO and NILU.
- This joint seminar invites renowned international experts to contribute to an informal series of lectures, meant to create interaction with the Oslo atmospheric and climate science community on recent highlights and analysis in the field.
- Normally seminars will be held on Thursdays (12:15 pm -1pm).
