A subset of the CAMS Global atmospheric composition forecast data for the latest three days can also be accessed through the FTP service. For a list of variables available on the FTP please see here.

Access to CAMS global air quality forecast and analysis data through the ECMWF public Web API service ended on 30 June 2021.

...

Physical characteristics of the different types of aerosols (i.e mass density, the radius mode and geometric standard deviation of the lognormal size distribution and the bin limits and hygroscopic factor), are available in Rémy et al. (2019).

The suggested reference for the IFS aerosol optical properties and hygroscopic growth tables is Bozzo at al (2020) and the new CY48R1 documentation: https://www.ecmwf.int/en/elibrary/81374-ifs-documentation-cy48r1-part-viii-atmospheric-composition, chapter 5.

Fast access	Parameters labelled as "Fast access" are stored on disk while parameters labelled as "slow access" are stored on tape. Retrieval of this data will be MUCH SLOWER than disk-resident data.
	Parameters highlighted in green were introduced with the new upgrade (48R1)

Please note the following forecast model level meteorological variables are available without any time restriction:

...

Vertical velocity

Note

PLEASE NOTE: *Total column (in kg m^-2) is available at the surface (model level 137 for MARS users; before 9 July 2019, model level 60). Total column refers to the total amount of the selected variable in a column of air extending from the surface of the Earth to the top of the atmosphere (model level 1 for MARS users). Total column can also be referred to as total <selected variable>, or vertically integrated <selected variable>.

CAMS uses a multitude of independent data sets to routinely monitor its global forecasts. It works with various data providers, acquiring the observations with appropriate timeliness and generating graphics that show the differences between the forecasts and the independent observations. See at https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/global-services

title	UV Index definition and computation

CAMS provides a global solar UV index forecast (from the ADS), conforming to the WHO definition.

UV Index data is available as:

To generate this data, we compute the surface down-welling spectral solar irradiance in the range 280-340nm at 5nm resolution taking into account local surface albedo, aerosol, clouds and ozone in the model profile. This is then convoluted with the erythema spectrum, resulting in the biologically active UV radiation. For more details please have a look here.

UV Index plots are available showing:

corresponding to the two UV index parameters described above. To create the plots we divide the UV biologically effective dose rate by 0.025 W/m2 (i.e. multiplied by 40), resulting in the dimensionless UV index where one unit of measurement (ie the difference between UV Index X and X+1) represents 25mW/m2 of UVA and UVB radiation absorbed by the human skin.

UV Index values are instantaneous, not cumulated.

title	Web charts of biomass-burning AOD

The actual aerosol species represented in the model are defined more according to their chemical composition (e.g. sulphate, black carbon, organic matter) rather than their source type (e.g. biomass burning or fossil fuels).

What is presented on the web charts as "biomass-burning AOD" is the sum of organic matter AOD (omaod550) and black carbon AOD (bcaod550). Organic matter is almost always the dominant component out of these.

Historically, biomass-burning was the main source of such aerosols in the model, apart from a much lower background of primary OM+BC from fossil fuels and of OM from biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA).

However, since a representation of anthropogenic SOA as a source of OM was added (in cycle 43r1, implemented in January 2017), the model also captures the relatively high levels of this OM around polluted cities.

To sum up, if you want the data used for those web charts, take omaod550+bcaod550 (which will usually be fairly close to omaod550 alone). However, note that this will also show significant aerosol plumes from anthropogenic pollution as well as biomass burning.

Issue type	Description	Cycle
High SO2 values over north-eastern Brazil	High SO2 values over north-eastern Brazil on 18 January 2020 and 16 June 2020 at 06:00:00 are artificial and are due to the assimilation of some spurious satellite observations of SO2 in one of the datasets used by CAMS.	47r1
BC concentrations in the mid/upper troposphere tend to be too high	Some of the low background BC concentrations in the mid/upper troposphere tend to be too high as an artefact of the data assimilation as it improves the total AOD. (They're still very low compared to polluted areas, but can be somewhat higher than they should.) This aspect of the impact of data assimilation on aerosol speciation is something that we're continuing to look into. (The accompanying "control run", a model-only product with no AOD assimilation, can often has a more realistic speciation and vertical profile in this regard, but at the cost of a poorer agreement with observations of total AOD.)	47r1 or 46r1
Dust emissions are too high in cycle 46r1	See details here: Dust emissions are too high in Cycle 46r1	46r1
AOD and PM data are zero at forecast step 0	Aerosol optical depth (AOD) and particulate matter (PM10, PM2.5) at forecast step 0: all values are zero	41r1 and 43r1
