Division (3) Supplementary products

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The supplementary products shall be built on the top of or integrated into the global and regional ones.

Policy support products shall consist of assessment reports commenting upon the regional reanalysis data for technical experts advising policy makers, daily scenario forecasts of pollution episodes to assess the effectiveness of short-term emissions abatement strategies, and source-receptor calculations providing information on the origin of air pollution episodes.

  1. (a)

    interim assessment reports based on the interim European reanalyses;

  2. (b)

    assessment reports based on the European reanalyses performed with validated data;

  3. (c)

    daily ‘green scenarios’ forecasts with reduced level of anthropogenic emissions;

  4. (d)

    on-demand country source-receptor calculations;

  5. (e)

    daily regional source-receptor calculations (apportionment of local vs transported for a large number of European conurbations).

Solar radiation products shall include global forecasts of UV radiation supporting the health sector as well as data bases of clear-sky and all-sky solar irradiances to support the solar energy and other sectors

  1. (a)

    global solar UV index forecast;

  2. (b)

    global clear-sky surface solar irradiance;

  3. (c)

    total-sky surface solar irradiance (over areas covered by geostationary satellites).

Greenhouse gases flux inversion products shall consist of estimates of surface fluxes for some of the key greenhouse gases obtained by inverse modelling.

  1. (a)

    monthly fluxes of global methane (2000 to 2015);

  2. (b)

    monthly fluxes of global nitrous oxide (1996 to 2015);

  3. (c)

    monthly fluxes of global carbon dioxide (1979 to 2015).

Climate forcings service element shall provide estimates of the climate forcing of aerosol based on the latest global re-analysis.

  1. (a)

    forcing due to aerosol-radiation interaction;

  2. (b)

    forcing due to aerosol-cloud interaction;

  3. (c)

    forcing due to CO2;

  4. (d)

    forcing due to CH4;

  5. (e)

    forcing due to stratospheric ozone;

  6. (f)

    forcing due to tropospheric ozone.
