  2. MOCAGE • growing number of real-time applications in connection with atmospheric environment : monitoring protocols (Montreal, Kyoto, CLRTAP), air quality and factors affecting health (UV, pollens,…), accidental releases, campaign planning. • These applications occur at several scales and may concern the stratosphere, troposphere as well as PBL. They share many aspects (advection, parameterizations,…). • MOCAGE (Model of atmospheric chemistry at large scale) has been developped since 1999 with the objective to complement Météo-France Numerical Weather Prediction operations in the mentioned fields. • It is now a running prototype for GMES applications, inclunding real-time forecasting and chemical data assimilation.

  11. Ozone evaluation in the UTLS : MOZAIC

  12. 35°N How to have an impact on global UTLS fields with only 5-10 flights per day? [Cathala, Pailleux and Peuch, Tellus, 2003] • non-local assimilation • uses a (ozone equivalent latitude, q) coordinate system, similar to (PV EL, q) [Lary et al.,1995], but avoids small scale numerical structures in PV. Idea : shapes of ozone isolines are OK, but assimilation could modify gradients • a few flights per day allow to constrain the Northern hemisphere UTLS ozone, as assessed by independent ozone sounding.

  13. MOZAIC flight level pressure MOZAIC ozone MOCAGE MOCAGE + assimilation One year (2000) with and without assimilation

  14. MOCAGE SONDES Assimilation of MOZAIC data allows to drive long model integration with « constant » quality in the UTLS Feb. 2000 April 2000 June 2000 MOCAGE MOCAGE + assimilation

  20. Overview • MOCAGE is one of the first atmospheric chemistry multiscale strat.-top. suite used for daily 96h forecasts. • Data assimilation (in situ : surface, MOZAIC profiles and flight level measurements ; space : GOME, MOPITT, ENVISAT) is now in a research mode. Main problems are now « accurate » emissions specification and NRT data access. • MOCAGE is involved in : MOZAIC-III, PRISM, ASSET, SCENIC (FM5) ; ACCENT, SCOUT (FM6) and the proposals GEMS and BACC-TO-BACC. • Operations : national air quality (Prév’Air / platform with the CHIMERE model, CNRS) ; UV forecasts ; accidental releases
