MACC-II Value Added Products User Interface

Transcription

1 MACC-II Value Added Products User Interface Thomas Holzer-Popp (DLR) On behalf of the MACC-II team MACC-II Second User Workshop 6 June 2014

2 MACC-II Value Added products AER: alerts, forcing, top-down emissions GHG: CH4 inversion, CO2, N2O EMI: ECCAD database, GEIA initiative FIRE: MACC GFAS use by NASA RAD: radiation assessments, MACC-RAD system POL: source allocation, green scenarios Improved user access Dedicated web interfaces for GAIA, MACC-RAD, ENS Policy users portal

3 AER: Aerosol alerts IFS AOD daily forecast > 0.5 AND = N * AOD monthly climatology Vegetation fire plumes Dust episodes Pollution build-ups

4 GHG: MACC-II 'delayed-mode' CH 4 inversions half-yearly updates of global CH4 inversions provided since 07/2009 transition SCIAMACHY (until 12/2011) ->GOSAT (since 01/2012) -> overall good consistency (-> presentation M. Alexe) however, significant negative bias of MACC-II CH4 emissions / mixing ratios over Europe ICOS data should be assimilated in the future -potential to significantly increase quality of CH 4 inversions over Europe - potential use for verification purposes MACC-II Open Science Conference, Brussels, January

5 FIRE: New NASA fire emission product uses GFAS FRP fields as value-added product of NASA MODIS FRP observations. MACC-II NASA Justice et al. RSE 2002 GFASv1.0 daily FRP in 2013 MOD14/MYD14 5-minute granules Kaiser et al. BG 2012 Ichoku & Ellison ACPD 2013

6 RAD: Assessment of IFS irradiance forecasts Bias in W/m2 Results positive bias bothin GHI anddni mountain New aerosol climatology New radiation scheme Verification GHI vsbsrn, hourly day ahead, daytime values, lines IFS, dotted persistence

7 POL: Country SR an example Left panel: Surface ozone concentrations (µg/m 3 ) on June 23, 2008, as modelled by the EMEP MSC-W air quality model used in MACC-II. Right panel: percentage contributions from different countries and areas to air pollution within the area marked in red in the left panel.

8 Example: Emission scenario impact effect of a 30% reduction in traffic emissions (left) or residential heating emissions (right) on PM10 on the day after tomorrow

9 User interface - interaction Service documentation / use cases / online user feedback Simple detailed references on products and show case users Iteration of user requirements traceable to user feedback User workshops (all MACC-II, policy) Interaction between old/new users Open data access with simple registration Simple documentation who are the users User Advisory Board Overall user feedback Training (summer school, elearning material) Tied to identified user needs

10 Number of registered data users MACC-II users vary from power users (requiring daily data) to users looking for specific data (area, time, species). Service Global NRT Analyses & Forecasts Regional NRT Analyses & Forecasts Global Reanalysis Solar Radiation Global ftp server Number of Users/ Requests for data ~200 users ~125 users ~1200 users ~1000 requests/year ~ 40 users Data access is fully open and free. Some numbers are approximate, because user registration (name, institute/company, country) is not yet implemented for all data servers.

11 Approximate user shares for various sectors Service Commercial Governmental Science Other Global NRT Analyses & Forecasts Regional NRT Analyses & Forecasts Global Reanalysis 5% 15% 60% 20% 25% 15% 30% 30% 5% 15% 60% 20% Solar Radiation 50% 10% 20% 20% MACC-II users can generally be split in commercial, governmental, science, and other.

12 Access to the emissions developed within MACC-II ECCAD database (ECCAD = Emissions of Atmospheric Compounds and Compilation of Ancillary Data) Access to a large number of inventories + tools: - global anthropogenic: MACCity, etc. - European anthropogenic: TNO-MACC, TNO-MACCII, etc. - biomass burning : GFAS, etc. - biogenic: MEGAN-MACC, etc. Very large number of ECCAD users (1270 from 540 institutes) MACC-II emissions widely used in Europe and other Continents standard dataset for regional AQ modelling in Europe

13 The MACC-RAD information system

14 User access: INSPIRE / ISO Web interface + metadata

15 Dedicated policy user website

17 Questions to users (1) Services and products Please specify for which service line(s) / parameter(s) Which are your operational requirements (timeliness, reliability, availability, )? How do you need information on product quality, maturity, uncertainties? How would you like to receive information about system updates, system problems, etc. (currently through a mailing list)? Which information on service degradation risk do you require (e.g. drop-out of assimilated satellite)?

18 Questions to users (2) Services and products (continued) Which (additional) requirements do you have for data access / interfaces (ftp, OGC, )? Do you make use of the graphical products available on the web site? If so, could they be improved? Are data volumes an issue? Do you have specific requirements for documentation? Do you have specific requirements for training? Do you see any gap in the MACC-II products and services?

19 Questions to users (3) Governance Do you have suggestions how to best organize user interaction in Copernicus (Atmosphere service User Advisory Board + user workshops / overall Copernicus User Forum + national user fora)? Do you have suggestions how to implement / select use cases to demonstrate added value from the Copernicus Atmosphere Service?
