Martin G. Schultz, MPI Meteorology, Hamburg GEMS proposal preparation meeting, Reading, Dec 2003 Sub project elements Data assimilation (UARS, AIRS, MIPAS, SCIAMACHY, GOMOS, SEVIRI, OMI, TES) – whole atmosphere columns, tropospheric columns, OT/LS layers CTM simulations (MOZART, ARPEGE, TM5) Integration/Validation Provision of boundary conditions
Contribution of KNMI to Reactive Gases (1) Experience with ozone data assimilation at KNMI - Operational ozone assimilation (since 2000) - Ozone and UV forecasting - Reanalysis - 7 years GOME data set - Radiance assimilation Improved ozone retrievals for UV-Vis spectrometers - GOME - SCIAMACHY - OMI - GOME 2 (25 y) - Column, profile; nadir, limb
Contribution of KNMI to Reactive Gases (2) Near-real-time delivery of ozone data - GOME (SCIAMACHY ?) - OMI (launch 2004, follow-up of TOMS) - High resolution - 13*24 km - Global coverage in 1 day Minor trace-gas retrievals from UV-Vis - Tropospheric (stratospheric) NO 2 : Observation operator, detailed error estimates OMI - high resolution
Contribution of KNMI to Reactive Gases (3) Dutch TM5 CTM with regional zoom capability - Use of ECMWF meteorological fields to drive CTM - Tropospheric and stratospheric chemistry - Chemistry parametrizations (ozone, methane) - Experience with couplers (PRISM project)

Martin G. Schultz, MPI Meteorology, Hamburg GEMS proposal preparation meeting, Reading, Dec 2003 Issues Near realtime emission data (in particular biomass burning) Vertical distribution of assimilated columns Interference of multi-species column assimilation on chemistry (thus forecasts) What boundary conditions are required by RegAQ? Validation? Consistency between RG and aerosols (to what degree and when?)
