Objectives Improvement and development of AQ services and accomplishments from PROMOTE, based on documented needs of user federation and new users Development and testing of generic framework in which modular Downstream Services can be easily added and through which a user friendly and customized access to end products is assured Utilization of multiple cycles of delivery, use, and review, based on Service Level Agreements, to facilitate determinations on the value of the services thus assuring a leading role for the users

Concept Downstream Service Cluster User Needs Kopernikus Core Services Other Inputs Interface to Core and Inputs Downstream Service Cluster Quality Management Marketing and Business Planing Interface to Users Users and Market

FAIRMODE - PASODOBLE links Developing and harmonizing specific air quality service modules Implementing a generic framework linking from Kopernikus Core Services to the end users Preparing a solid ground for easy uptake of demonstrated services by new regions and cities possible test-bed for FAIRMODE developments/activities Contact thilo.erbertseder@dlr.de

DS-HEALTH Support to Health Care Community: Target: people at risk R&D theme: universal health index/indices per pathology Objectives: packaging existing AQ data to increase its uptake in health care community develop information products in conjunction with the health community information/dissemination mechanisms to increase support among physicians/specialists keywords: health index, indicators From local, regional to pan-European users (EMA, WHO)

DS-PUBLIC Information for the Public, Sports and Tourism Target: General Public R&D theme: Integrating AQ, pollen, UV and meteorological information Objectives: packaging existing AQ, pollen, UV and meteorological service improve and develop information products by integrating different parameters increase its uptake in the public services to general population, tourism and sports Application along sport events, tourism regions keywords: indices of well being, sports, tourism, indicators

DS-COMP Exceedence Toolbox/PM Compliance Monitoring: Target users: environment agencies, local government R&D: Set up of a satellite-based “one-stop-shop” for exceedance/PM compliance monitoring for EC directive Objectives: Collaboration with agencies with AQ Directive compliance duties improve upon existing desert dust services build a interface to operationally-provide information on fire, dust, etc develop standard techniques to assess likelihood of exceedence being caused by a natural phenomenon. Set up of a “one-stop-shop” for PM compliance monitoring for EC directive

DS-LOCAL Toolbox for evaluating local AQM/setting European standards: Target: Regional and municipal governments, city bodies R&D theme: setting standards for local/urban AQ model implementation, evaluation Regional and municipal governments are increasingly interested in providing services to assess and forecast local- and city-level air quality. Objectives: contribute to standardize interfaces for necessary local input datasets based on common practices of regional and local end users throughout Europe Setting standard criteria/protocol for performance evaluation Collaboration with / testbed for FAIRMODE initiative
