The use of TROPOMI retrievals in the operational CAMS forecast and data assimilation system

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS, atmosphere.copernicus.eu) led by ECMWF is one of the major users of TROPOMI data. TROPOMI ozone retrievals have been routinely assimilated in the operational CAMS system since December 2018 and help CAMS to provide good quality daily ozone analyses and 5-day forecasts. CO, NO2, HCHO and SO2 retrievals from TROPMI are currently monitored in the operational CAMS system and CH4 in the CAMS GHG system. This means that the data are routinely compared with the CAMS atmospheric composition fields, but do not influence the CAMS analyses yet. Howerver, assimilation tests with TROPOMI CO, NO2, SO2 and CH4 data are ongoing and it is hoped that the routine assimilation of these species in the CAMS system can begin later this year.
In this presentation we will give an update on the use or TROPOMI data in the CAMS system and show the latest results from the monitoring and asimilation tests carried out with the TROPOMI data by CAMS.
