NDACC sites M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
NDACC observational capabilities Lidar, Microwave radiometer, FTIR, (MAX)DOAS, Dobson/Brewer, UV spectrometer http: //www. ndacc. org M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
General Objectives • Perform the required research and developments to optimize the NDACC data delivery and data products for the purpose of supporting the quality assessments of the future GAS (MACC -II as the prototype). Ground-based remote-sensing column and profile data are a good complement to surface and satellite data • target NORS data products • tropospheric and stratospheric ozone columns and vertical profiles up to 70 km altitude; • tropospheric and stratospheric NO 2 columns and profiles; • lower tropospheric profiles of NO 2, HCHO, aerosol extinction; • tropospheric and stratospheric columns of CO • tropospheric and stratospheric columns of CH 4 • 4 NDACC techniques + in-situ surface monitoring: Lidar, MW, FTIR, UV-VIS DOAS + in-situ surface monitoring • 4 NDACC pilot stations M.

NORS map M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
General Objectives • Apart from some MAXDOAS data, none of the NORS data are already included in MACC-II VAL. So NORS is complementary to validation included in MACC-II NORS will aim at consistency with validation protocols and procedures defined in MACC-II (at management level and in VAL subproject) M.

Partners M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
Steering Bodies The Steering Committee: • the Project Management Team (coordinator and WP leaders); • R. Engelen for MACC-II • a representative of ESA for the satellite data and the GECA environment (T. Fehr); • Henrik Steen Andersen for EEA: coordination of the insitu component in the GMES Atmosphere area; • G. Braathen (WMO), as co-chairman for NDACC; • O. Tarasova, responsible at WMO for matters related to Greenhouse gases, Reactive gases, GAW stations and QA/QC; • J. C. Lambert (BIRA), as representative of CEOS WGCV M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
Objectives (1/2) • to implement procedures for data delivery of NDACC data to GAS actors with a delay of maximum 1 month (WP 3); • to provide an extensive characterisation (metadata) of targeted NDACC data and user documentation. The NDACC data will also be evaluated in comparison with satellite data that are assimilated in the GAS products, and against other network data like Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) surface data and the Total Carbon Column Observing Network (TCCON) data, in a comprehensive and coordinated way (WP 4); • to investigate the integration of ground-based data products from various sources (ground-based in-situ surface and remotesensing data, and satellite data), and to provide the integrated data products to GAS. Hereto, new scientific methodologies will be developed. (WP 5 & 6). For example: ü integrated O 3 profiles from sondes, lidar, microwave and FTIR data ü NO 2 profiles from surface data and remote-sensing data M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
Objectives (2/2) • to provide ground-based measurement time series back to 2003 in support of the re-analysis products of GAS. NORS will provide and archive quality-controlled long-term reference data sets for open access by GAS and GMES users, a need expressed in the GAS Implementation Group Final Report. (WP 7) • to develop and implement a new GAS-compliant web-based application for operational validation of GAS products using the NORS data products. In this validation service, better methodologies (“best practices”) for validation will be included, based on the improved characterisation of the ground-based data. This service (based on GECA) will be user-oriented. (WP 8 & 9) • Capacity building (WP 10): • To ‘export’ project achievements to whole NDACC community • to support the extension of NDACC to stations outside Western Europe, namely in the tropics, in China, Latin America, Africa and Eastern Europe.

Overall strategy of the workplan M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
Connections to MACC-II • Established links with MACC-II Val subproject • Coordinate with OBS/in-situ and EEA GISC project • In progress : • Development of NORS Validation Server User Requirements Ø will be iterated with MACC-II representatives (By end of April 2012) • Development of NORS Validation Server Design Documents Ø Establishment of direct links between MACC-II products and NORS products (NDACC database) Ø Connection between NORS Validation Server and MACC-II website (By end of June 2012) M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
Connections to NDACC • Export NORS achievements to additional NDACC sites, and new, potential NDACC stations • Expand to additional NDACC products ® task for WG co-chairmen • NORS data will be available from NDACC database (@ NOAA) • NORS data will be compliant with GEOMS HDF format (tools will be available to transpose to GEOMS compliant net. CDF) Connections to CEOS M. De Mazière MACCII KO, Reading, 1/3/2012
