  1. InGOSobjective & means Improving and extending the European observation capacity for non-CO2 greenhouse gases • Infrastructure project: IntegratingActivities • Budget 10 M€, EU 8 M€ • 34 partners, 14 countries, 24 observing stations • 1 October 2011 – 1 October 2015 • Will integrate the non-CO2observations in ICOS infrastructure • Buildson: CHIOTTO, SOGE, CarboEurope, GHGEurope, IMECC etc. • Coordination: ECN, NL

  2. Non-CO2gases and climate • Forcing=57% CO2,ff • Montreal protocol succesful (ODS) • Non-ODSemissionsstillincrease • N2O now most important ODS • Emissionsveryuncertain • Big emissionreductionpotential Montzka, Dlugocencky & Butler, Nature, 2011 ODS=OzoneDepletingSubstance

  3. Montzka, Dlugocencky & Butler, Nature, 2011

  4. a = continued 2008 emissions b = -80% longlived non-CO2 2050 c = -80% CO2 2050 d = -80% all GHG 2050 Beware of the possiblefeedbacks (lifetime, naturalemissions)! Verification of reductions and monitoring of naturalsourceswillbe important! Montzka, Dlugocencky & Butler, Nature, 2011

  5. General features of NCGHG mixingratios; InGOS targets • Low abundances • Smallsignal to baseline ratio • High demandsforprecision and accuracy • Complex equipment • High running costs InGOSwillimprove: • Cost of operation • Quality of measurements • Coherence of the network • Number of sites and frequency of observations

  17. Networkingobjectives • IntegrateEuropeanfacilitiesfor NCGHG observations • Linking the different communitiesfor CH4, N2O, H2, halocarbons, tracers, atmosphere, ecosystem flux, ocean • Improve the quality of historical, current and future NCGHG obs. (concentrations, fluxes, atmosphere & ocean) • Prepare expansion of the network in undersampledregions

  18. Access and Services • Provide access to observation sites and facilities • Provide NRT data for CH4, N2O, SF6 and H2 data (building on IMECC/ICOS) • Provide uniform databases of observational data • Halocarbons: NILU/Geomon -> ALE-GAGE • Fluxes: UNITUS/ICOS ETC -> Fluxnet • Atmosphere: LSCE/ICOS ATC -> GAW • Ocean: Memento

  19. JRA: research • Test and furtherdevelopnew (optical) sensors and observationstrategies • Modelling: analyse the observations and support the networkdevelopment • Improvedtop-downemissionestimates • Uncertaintyestimates of derivedemissions • Validation of model results • Evaluate13CH4observationstrategy

  21. Inverse modelling of Europeanmethane Bergamaschi et al, 2011 (in prep.)

  22. JRA continued • Integration of in-situ data withremotesensing -> TCCON-Europenetwork • Developcontinuousisotopeobservationsformethane and maintainreferencescale • Improve the halocarbon measurementtechniques • Combine talltowerconcentrationobs. with flux towerobservationsintoregionalscale flux estimates

  23. Someproducts(out of 96 deliverables) • Unified and improvedhistoric dataset of non-CO2GHG’s • Continuation of coordinated datasets contributing to GEOSS • Traveling FTIR and 222Rn system • Top down emissionestimatesforEurope • Capacity building in undersampledregions • Dissemination: • Reports, papers • Workshops • Summer schools • Website • Databases
