Projects
MODELAIR proposes a combination of theoretical, experimental, numerical, and data-driven science that will simulate, control and design new disruptive technologies for future sustainable cities and will provide specialized training to 10 doctoral candidates (DCs) to make these new technologies available to city Councils and relevant industrial sectors.
A key target of ecological transition towards the zero-pollution vision for 2050 is the prevention and control of pollutants. Transportation is a key source of urban air pollution, being the main responsible of NO2 and PM emissions, with a heavy toll on public health and wellbeing. This pressing need to monitor and reduce traffic-related emissions in urban areas calls for...
The project proposes a solution for making on-demand configurable digital twin engines for forecasting of environmental extremes at the sub-km scale. We name the solution Destination Earth On-Demand Extremes (DEODE). The core of our solution is to provide an on-demand workflow with co-design of high resolution predictions about extreme weather events combined with decision...
The radical transformation of transport systems so they provide sustainable, clean, safe and integrated mobility is a major policy goal at nationaland European level. A major part of this effort aims to provide enhanced mobility experience to all users and improve the efficiency and safety of the transport network. Furthermore, the transport sector has a significant...
CAMS provides daily analysis and forecasts, as well asreanalysis products. CAMS has a global service, implemented by ECMWF, and a regional air qualityservice implemented by the CAMS2_40 consortium. The CAMS2_82 ITT is asking for a detailed aposteriori evaluation of the global service components and products for the period 2021-2025.The contract below is the response to this...
This response to the tender, entitled, CAMS2_40 Regional Air Quality Products, falls under the second phase of Copernicus (2021-2027), Cop2. Following the first phase (2015-2020), Cop1, the regional production service (CAMS_50) led by Meteo-France and co-managed by Meteo-France/INERIS has consolidated, improved and developed its activities to best meet all the existing and...
Pollution is one of the most significant environmental problems in modern cities, leading to disturbing odour episodes and low-air quality conditions that can be detrimental to public health. Its impact is increasing given the continuous city growth (79 % of the population worldwide live in urban areas) and the climate change effects. Nowadays, half the cities in high-income...
RI-URBANS aims to demonstrate how Service Tools (STs) from atmospheric Research Infrastructures (RIs) can be adapted and enhanced to better address the challenges and societal needs concerning air quality (AQ) in European cities and industrial hotspots. RI-URBANS responds to urgent needs to substantially reduce air pollution across EU by providing enhanced AQ observations in...
The CAMS2_35 invitation to tender describes a highly technical project that requires experience and expertise in several domains: integrated global chemistry and aerosol modelling, physics and chemistry of the atmosphere, air quality modelling, as well as a detailed knowledge on the architecture and functioning of the IFS and of the possible observational datasets used for...
MITIGATE (MonIToring and dIagnosinG ozone formATion from spacE) aims to unravel the sensitivity of surface O3 production to NOx and VOC precursors over Spain using the high-resolution TROPOMI sensor. Designed to address the aforementioned issues, the specific objectives of the project are:
- to assess the consistency between...
