Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) is a service implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), launched in November 11, 2014, that provides continuous data and information on atmospheric composition. CAMS, which is part of the Copernicus Programme, describes the current situation, forecasts the situation a few days ahead, and analyses consistently retrospective data records for recent years. This service has around 10 years of developments, and its current precursor project, MACC-III (Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate - Interim Implementation), is delivering the pre-operational Copernicus Atmosphere Service.{{citation |url=http://www.ecmwf.int/en/about/media-centre/news/2014/copernicus-climate-change-and-atmosphere-monitoring-services |title=Copernicus Climate Change and Atmosphere Monitoring Services launched |date=November 11, 2014 |access-date=June 1, 2019}} CAMS tracks air pollution, solar energy, greenhouse gases and climate forcing globally.{{Cite web| title = About us |work= Copernicus| accessdate = 2019-06-11| url = https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/about-us}}

Background

CAMs is one of the six services that are part of the earth observation programme called Copernicus,{{Cite web| title = About us |work= Copernicus| accessdate = 2019-06-11| url = https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/about-us}}{{cite web|url=http://www.copernicus.eu/main/overview|title=What is Copernicus?|publisher=Copernicus.eu|access-date=11 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181103182626/http://www.copernicus.eu/main/overview|archive-date=3 November 2018|url-status=dead}} which is managed and coordinated by the European Commission, the European Space Agency (ESA), along with EU Member States and some EU Agencies. Copernicus was established on April 3, 2014.{{cite web|url=https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/976616e8-cb7c-11e3-b74e-01aa75ed71a1|title=Regulation (EU) No 377/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 3 April 2014 establishing the Copernicus Programme and repealing Regulation (EU) No 911/2010|publisher=European Union|date=2014-04-03|accessdate=2018-10-11}} Prior to Copernicus, the EU had initiated GMES in 2010.{{cite web|url=https://publications.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/7b511d06-becf-4a8b-b2fa-adc08c1a79d9|title=Regulation (EU) No 911/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2010 on the European Earth monitoring programme (GMES) and its initial operations (2011 to 2013)|publisher=European Union|date=2010-09-22|accessdate=2018-10-11}}
