  1. Kick-off meeting, Hambourg, 4 July 2005 [RAQ] Regional Air Quality Vincent-Henri.Peuch@meteo.fr

  2. GEMS for GMES / Air Quality • How to enhance and improve Regional Air Quality forecasts, hindcasts and analyses across Europe in the GMES context? • through prescription of realistic chemical boundary conditions • through assimilation of high-resolution remote-sensing data • through improvement of models • through practice of daily forecasting • through international collaboration in AQ skill scores definition and use • through development of ensemble and probabilistic forecasting • through countrywise organisation of consortia (policy, monitoring, assessment, forecasts) • Last but not least : through interaction with AQ users and policy makers • …

  3. The team

  4. Descripton of Work (1) • evaluate the advantages of the implementation of satellite information in regional air quality prognoses. • provide and evaluate in near-real-time forecasts of gases and aerosols at the continental to regional scales across Europe, relying on global assimilated fields and forecasts and on regional scale data assimilation. • provide continental to regional scales air quality hindcasts and climatologies, assess the effects of variability and changes at the global scale on regional air quality and provide background for policy evaluation and evolution.

  5. Descripton of Work (2) • improve existing continental to regional scales air quality models, statistical post-treatment of forecasts, and explore multi-model ensemble approaches. • initiate and support cooperative routine cooperation between national air quality forecasts centers for data access, skill evaluation and forecasts comparisons. • Improve our understanding of the health impacts of air quality and incorporate air quality forecast information into a health forecast.
