HYGEOS at the 14th meeting of ICAP working group

The International Cooperative for Aerosol Prediction (ICAP) is an international forum for aerosol forecast centers, remote sensing data providers, and lead systems developers to share best practices and discuss pressing issues facing the operational aerosol community. The 14th working group meeting took place between 28th and 30th of October in Helsinki (Finland).

HYGEOS contributed to several talks that focused on Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) products and system evolutions. In particular, HYGEOS scientist, Samuel Remy, presented pathways for longer term evolution of the global CAMS system (IFS-COMPO) resulting from the work of the Horizon Europe projects CAMAERA and CAMEO. His presentation focused on the integration of machine learning techniques in the global CAMS system and exploratory ensemblist approaches for atmospheric composition (figure below).

Simulated PM10 over Western Europe by an IFS-COMPO ensemble with 50 members plus the control run (with no perturbations), base time 6/2/2021 0UTC, 24h forecast.

Simulated PM10 over Western Europe by an IFS-COMPO ensemble with 50 members plus the control run (with no perturbations), base time 6/2/2021 0UTC, 24h forecast. A dust storm impacted Southern France and parts of Italy on 7/2/2021, leading to high simulated values.
