Objective of the PANDA Project

• To establish a team of European and Chinese scientists who will jointly use space observations and in-situ data as well as advanced numerical models to monitor, analyse and forecast global and regional air quality.

• PANDA will disseminate methodologies, tools and data to a variety of users.

Specific Goals (1) • Identify space remote sensing data that are available

and could be used to better monitoring air quality (ozone and its precursors, aerosols) at the global and regional scales;

• Improve remote sensing data where needed, taking into account specific conditions in Asia;

• Identify and collect surface in-situ observations that are available and will complement space observations;

• Improve and evaluate the current knowledge on anthropogenic and natural emissions in Asia and at the global scale;

• Use remote-sensing and in-situ data to analyse specific air quality situations, using state-of-the-art global and regional chemical transport models.

Specific Goals (2)

• Conduct specific air quality analyses in urbanized areas of the Asian continent and assess the importance of intense emissions in the populated areas of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou;

• Develop a methodology to downscale existing global scale predictions of air quality (specifically those provided by the EU MACC-II Project) for the East Asian region, including the populated areas of China;

• Quantify the impact of regional air pollution emissions in Asia on the rest of the world in response to long-range transport;

• Develop user-friendly toolboxes providing easily accessible data related to air quality;

• Disseminate information and products to users and stakeholders, including members of national, regional and local environmental agencies and other decision makers

The science to understand the changes in air quality is urgently needed in China

Lacks in air quality studies in China

• Air pollutants distribution

• Emission inventories

• Air quality prediction

Tools to obtain fast changes in

Space

data

The importance of cooperation between European and Chinese in PANDA

• European expertise on emission inventories, in-situ air quality

monitoring will enhance the capacity in China.

• The joint efforts in developing satellite retrieval technologies will be

beneficial for both sides.

• The inter-comparison of numerical models is progressing and could

be important contribution to community.

• The summer school promotes the exchange of ideas and knowledge

for scientists and young students from both Europe and China.

• Tool box provides more scientific information to stakeholders,

scientists and public.
