AtmosphereMonitoring • Co-organized with national user community

– Focus on their specific needs– Stimulate exchange between users

• 2 dedicated per annum, 1 at annual assembly

• 2016 user workshops:– Athens (assembly user day)– Brussels (policy)– Riga, Offenbach

• 2017 user workshops– Warsaw (assembly user day)– Utrecht, Madrid

• 2018 user workshops– Copenhagen (policy)– Lisbon (assembly user day)– Zagreb, Stockholm (November)

U s e r w o r k s h o p s


C A M S u s e r w o r k s h o p i n C r o a t i a

• Co-organised by Ministry of Environment

• followed by a user day for C3S

• 67 participants

• rather new national CAMS user community

• role of CAMS services: concerns about possible duplication of work between the Copernicus services and national meteo / climate services

• new user requirements

– need more information on use of CAMS in the European Air Quality Index

– need to provide IFS meteorological data with the same open policy

– need for emission data in local scale

– need for emission data temporal evolution

• Participants were inspired to begin working with CAMS


C A M S u s e r w o r k s h o p i n S w e d e n

• Co-organised with national EPA and Met service

• experienced national CAMS user community

• 33 participants

• substantial requirements input

• Deposition repeatedly mentioned

• specific issues of Nordic countries discussed

– low pollution / 1-2 km hot spots not well covered by CAMS 10km data

– only few in situ hourly measurement stations (esp. for NO2)

• needs for evolving the national Swedish community in relation to CAMS (e.g. organizing an all-Sweden 1km forecast)
