  2. GRG Objectives • To set up an operational data assimilation system for chemically reactive gases on a global scale, providing products to end-users on a day-by-day basis. • Coordinator: G. Brasseur, MPIMET

  3. Atmosphere Models The Earth System Unifying the Models Climate / Weather Models Carbon Cycle and Biogeochemistry Water Cycle The Predictive Earth System Hydrology Process Models Ocean Models Land Surface Models Natural Hazard Prediction Terrestrial Biosphere Models Solid Earth Models Megaflops Gigaflops Teraflops Petaflops Towards Operational Earth System Monitoring, Assimilation and Prediction Systems 2000 2010

  4. Specific Goals (1) • Acquire satellite data for a few chemical species (ozone, NOx, CO, CH2O), assess the quality of these data, and implement these data into the GEMS 4-D var assimilation system. • Use 3 existing chemistry transport models at ECMWF to provide the chemical source terms required by the assimilation system, and calculate the concentration of chemical compounds that are not assimilated by the ECMWF system.

  5. Specific Goals (2) • Develop prototype user services including • predicted global distributions of reactive chemical compounds in the troposphere and stratosphere • surface UV forecasts, • volcano plume forecasting system • Evaluate reanalysis simulations and assess the quality of the predictions using routine chemical observations and event-based case studies. • Provide information for regional air quality predictions

Includes two-way nested zooming capability over Europe. (Krol et al., 2004) • MOZART-3: CTM developed by NCAR and MPI-M.
