– almost half from academia
– but also substantial parts from private and public sectors
– varying mix between different CAMS service lines
• Overall statistics Q3 2019
– ~716TB downloaded
– ~13000 registered users
– ~2800 active users
– overall steadily increasing
– at time peaks due to events
• Continuous interaction with users

AtmosphereMonitoring • Co-organized with national user community
– Focus on their specific needs– Stimulate exchange between users
• 2 dedicated per annum, 1 at annual assembly
• 2016 user workshops:– Athens (assembly user day)– Brussels (policy)– Riga, Offenbach
• 2017 user workshops– Warsaw (assembly user day)– Utrecht, Madrid
• 2018 user workshops– Copenhagen (policy)– Lisbon (assembly user day)– Zagreb, Stockholm (November)

AtmosphereMonitoring
C A M S u s e r w o r k s h o p i n C r o a t i a
• Co-organised by Ministry of Environment
• followed by a user day for C3S
• 67 participants
• rather new national CAMS user community
• role of CAMS services: concerns about possible duplication of work between the Copernicus services and national meteo / climate services
• new user requirements
– need more information on use of CAMS in the European Air Quality Index
– need to provide IFS meteorological data with the same open policy
– need for emission data in local scale
– need for emission data temporal evolution
• Participants were inspired to begin working with CAMS
AtmosphereMonitoring
C A M S u s e r w o r k s h o p i n S w e d e n
• Co-organised with national EPA and Met service
• experienced national CAMS user community
• 33 participants
• substantial requirements input
• Deposition repeatedly mentioned
• specific issues of Nordic countries discussed
– low pollution / 1-2 km hot spots not well covered by CAMS 10km data
– only few in situ hourly measurement stations (esp. for NO2)
• needs for evolving the national Swedish community in relation to CAMS (e.g. organizing an all-Sweden 1km forecast)
