CAMS-50

CAMS_50 Regional production

As the Entrusted Entity for implementing the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS), ECMWF issued an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for the operational delivery of the European-scale air quality component of CAMS. The production must be based upon a geographically distributed ensemble of between 8 and 10 individual models and a central processing function to deliver 3 streams:

• on a daily basis, hourly analyses and forecasts up to + 96h,
• with a delay of a few weeks (in order to maximise the number of observations) interim re-analyses will be produced daily with systems frozen in their configuration of January 1st every year,
• with a delay of up to 2 years (due to the delay in getting fully validated observations), re-analyses will be processed with frozen systems, which are only updated every few years.
