ATMOSPHERIC CHEMISTRY APPLICATIONS WORKSHOP 20-21 January 2004, ESTEC Albert P H Goede Objective of the Workshop User Consultation on present and future needs for atmosphere chemistry observations Definition of Integrated Global Observation System, notably the satellite component Atmospheric Chemistry Applications Climate Change Chemistry-climate interactions, UTLS, atmospheric composition & trends, IPCC assessments Montreal and Kyoto Protocol Monitoring and Verification stratospheric ozone, surface UV, GHG emissions, Policy support Troposphere Cleansing power of atmosphere/trend Chemistry free troposphere Air Pollution CLRTAP (Convention Long-Range Transport), EC directives on air quality, Policy support Forecasts ozone layer and surface UV chemical weather, improvement of NWP aviation management User input required on all 5 issues listed User Needs and requirements (example, long term record total ozone, regional forecast air pollution etc, specify region/spatial resolution/temporal resolution/ averages, list of data products.) User Segment (example, regional environmental agency, weather service, climate change agency etc) Policy foundation (example, Kyoto, CLRTAP etc) Science review (what are the underlying science issues, what do we know, what is still uncertain, ) Strategy for Integrated Observation System (What infra structure is there on ground, in Working Group Composition WG 1Air Quality Monitoring (chair Boucher/rapporteur Monks) ETCACC RIVM+NILU, ADEME, ITC, EMPA, EPA, GMESDaedalus, CERMES WG 2 Montreal, Kyoto Protocol Monitoring (ch Barrie, rap Raes) WMO, NILU, GMES-GATO, JRC-IES, RIVM-UV WG 3 Climate Chemistry (chair van Weele, rapporteur Kerridge) DLR-IAP, KNMI, JRC, KfA Julich, SPARC, research groups WG 4 Tropospheric Chemistry (chair Bovensmann, rap Krol) MPI-Hamburg, U Heidelberg, IGBP-IGAC, ACCENT, LISA, other research groups WG 5 Forecasting (chair Peuch, rapporteur Fishman) Meteo-France, DWD, DMI, KNMI, INERIS, LISA, VITO Application Areas Global Oxidizing Capacity (mainly OH) Global tropospheric O3 trends Global long range transport of pollutants Policy And Science foundation Policy makers Action taken (reduce emissions) Observed Change, e.g. in tropospheric O3 Causes for the change Scientists Differentiate requirements between Trend monitoring Analysis of the underlying Processes (Causes?)
