4. 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

7. 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

8. 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)

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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
