In-Service Aircraft for a Global Observing System (IAGOS) is a European Research Infrastructure(www.iagos.org) which has been established in 2014 from the two European research projects Measurement ofOzone and Water Vapour on Airbus in-service Aircraft (MOZAIC) and Civil Aircraft for the RegularInvestigation of the Atmosphere Based on an Instrument Container (CARIBIC). The goal is to establish andoperate a sustainable observing system for monitoring of atmospheric trace gases, aerosol and cloud particlesfrom commercial aircraft at a global scale, using two complementary technical approaches:

IAGOS-CORE: In situ instruments permanently installed aboard currently six AIRBUS A330 or A340 aircraftoperated by Deutsche Lufthansa, Air France, China Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Iberia. The long-term plan is toexpand the fleet to 20 aircraft in order to improve global coverage.

IAGOS-CARIBIC: Monthly deployment of a cargo container currently equipped with 16 instruments for in situmeasurements and remote sensing, as well as provisions for the collection of samples for subsequent analysis ofmany trace gases and aerosol chemical composition.

The presentation will discuss the ultimate goals of IAGOS, the current status of the technical implementation,and the planned developments, including the plans for liaising with airlines, such as Hawaiian. Selected resultswill be presented to highlight the value of 20 years of regular airborne data from commercial aircraft for a betterunderstanding of atmospheric composition and its variability in a changing climate. IAGOS data are extensivelyused for process studies, trend analysis, as well as model and satellite validation. Near real-time data areprovided for the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS). For a recent overview of scientificachievements of the MOZAIC-IAGOS programme seehttp://www.tellusb.net/index.php/tellusb/pages/view/thematic.
