  1. EUSAAR Overview 8th Meeting of the EMEP Task Force on Measurement and Modelling, Dessau, April 2007 Overview of the EUSAAR I3 Project Alfred Wiedensohler Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research Leipzig, Germany

  2. EUSAAR Overview 1 2 3 Why an Aerosol Monitoring Infrastructure in Europe ? A brief description of EUSAAR Long-term Objectives EUSAAR Overview

  3. EUSAAR Overview Aerosol parameters for Air Quality and Climate purposes Suggested as EMEP level 3 Suggested as EMEP level 3

  4. EUSAAR Overview EUSAAR Aerosol Monitoring Stations

  5. EUSAAR Overview Current Measurements at EUSAAR Sites

  6. EUSAAR Overview Major Requirements for Aerosol monitoring in Europe Objective 1: Ensure measurements and QA/QC of aerosol chemical, optical and physical properties Objective 2: Ensure dissemination of data and capacity building Objective 3: Develop future tools for aerosol monitoring and dissemination of information Objective 4: Ensure transnational access of research infrastructures

  7. EUSAAR Overview Objective 1: Ensure high quality measurements of aerosol properties

  8. EUSAAR Overview Objective 2: Ensure dissemination and use of data and capacity building

  9. EUSAAR Overview Objective 3 : Future tools for monitoring and data transfer

  10. EUSAAR Overview Objective 4 : Transnational access of research infrastructures • High level of instrumentation available • Long-record data bases • long record of trans-national access. • representative of a specific climate or ecosystems

  11. EUSAAR Overview Goals of EUSAAR • Implementation of an efficient and high quality network of stations • Contribution to cost-effective new tools for atmospheric monitoring • Developing of synergies with other EU projects such as ACCENT, EARLINET,, EUCAARI and other programs such as EMEP and GAW • Dissemination of data and knowledge outside of the EUSAAR consortium (station operators, users, monitoring programs) • Consolidation of current observation efforts across Europe to ensure their continuation beyond the frame of the project

  12. EUSAAR Overview Participation in EUSAAR • Research institutions and well as monitoring authorities can join EUSAAR (www.eusaar.net) • Your are welcome to apply for a Associate Partnership • You will have access to all results and the whole quality assurance program within EUSSAR • You are welcome to calibration and intercomparison activities • Technical staff and young scientist are welcome to attend training courses

  13. EUSAAR Overview Next Activities • Technical meeting in Leipzig week Oct 8, 2007 • Discussion of quality assurance and intercomparison results • Formulating of standards for organic carbon, number size distribution, absorption and scattering coefficient measurements • Institutes and authorities are welcome to participate in these meetings

  14. EUSAAR Overview Cooperation with EMEP • EUSAAR is orientated to establish long-term physical, optical and organic carbon measurements at sampling sites • We would like to welcome EMEP and its community to use the results and standards developed in EUSAAR • EUSSAR would like to cooperate closely with EMEP on the future strategy for level 2 and 3 sites • EUSSAR would like to harmonize with EMEP (and GAW) sampling and QA/QC protocols for advanced level 2 and 3 aerosol parameters
