| Zusammenfassung |
| The European MACC (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate) project is
preparing the operational Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS),
one of the services of the European Copernicus Programme on Earth observation
and environmental services. MACC uses data assimilation to combine in situ
and remote sensing observations with global and regional models of
atmospheric reactive gases, aerosols, and greenhouse gases, and is based on
the Integrated Forecasting System of the European Centre for
Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). The global component of the MACC
service has a dedicated validation activity to document the quality of the
atmospheric composition products. In this paper we discuss the approach to
validation that has been developed over the past 3 years. Topics discussed
are the validation requirements, the operational aspects, the measurement
data sets used, the structure of the validation reports, the models and
assimilation systems validated, the procedure to introduce new upgrades, and
the scoring methods. One specific target of the MACC system concerns
forecasting special events with high-pollution concentrations. Such events
receive extra attention in the validation process. Finally, a summary is
provided of the results from the validation of the latest set of daily global
analysis and forecast products from the MACC system reported in
November 2014. |
