  1. WMO SDS-WAS programme.Regional Center for Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe.Activity Report 2010-2011 Enric Terradellas, José M. Baldasano, Emilio Cuevas and Francesco Benincasa Meeting of the Regional Steering Group. Antalya, Turkey, 25-26 Nov. 2011

  2. The Regional Center The Regional Center is jointly managed by AEMET and the BSC-CNS. It is located in Barcelona, at BSC-CNS premises

  3. Objetives of the Regional Center • Lead the implementation and operation of an integrated system of observation and prediction • Identify and improve observational and forecast products • Promote the creation and improvement of observational networks in developing countries. • Facilitate user access to information • Create and maintain a website • Create alternative systems tailored to users • Build capacity of countries to use the products supplied

  4. Integrated observational system Observing systems Specific objectives • Ground-based • In-situ (AQ monitoring stations) • Indirect Observations: visibility • Sun photometers (AERONET) • Lidar, ceilometers • Satellite-based • GEO • LEO, MEO • Monitor atmospheric dust • Validate products from other observing systems • Validate and verify model predictions • Data assimilation into numerical models

  5. In-situ observations (AQ stations) • Rural background stations • Near-real-time data

  6. Visibility Tamanrasset, Algeria, 20-22 Feb. 2007

  7. Cimel Electronique CE318 June 2009 29 June 2009 – Solar Village, Saudi Arabia

  8. Lidar - Ceilometer Ceilometer CHM15kx (manufactured by JenOptik) Potenza, 26 June 2006 EARLINET • An elastic lidar and a ceilometer work following the same principle, but • The aim of LIDAR is to measure backscattering by molecules and aerosol. • The aim of ceilometers is to measure backscattering by clouds

  9. GEO satellites. Products from SEVIRI 4 July 2010 12:00 UTC EUMETSAT RGB-dust UKMO dust AOD 550 nm (qualitative) (quantitative)
