4. IAGOS-Bucharest 9.11.2012 Impact IAGOS provides essential information for Climate Change (IPCC) Air Quality (CLRTAP/HTAP) Carbon Cycle (Kyoto Protocol) Ozone layer (Montreal Protocol) Impact of Aviation (ETS) Aviation operation (volcanic ash, mineral dust, icing conditions, climate-optimized routing)

5. IAGOS-Bucharest 9.11.2012 Scientific Value Changes in the Tropopause Region –high spatial and temporal resolution of in-situ observations, i.e.: background and trends for ozone, water vapour, aerosol, GHGs, etc. Validation of Atmospheric Models and Satellite Retrievals –tropospheric profiles of H 2 O, O 3, CO, NO x, CO 2, CH 4, aerosol, cloud particles Global Air Quality –influence of developing regions –long-range transport of air pollutants –biomass burning, climate change,... International Transfer Standard –same systems everywhere –regular Quality Assurance

6. IAGOS-Bucharest 9.11.2012 History IAGOS builds on two succesful European research projects: MOZAIC:Start in 1994 Five aircraft equipped with instruments for ozone and water vapour (3 remaining). Funded by EC until 2003, it was the basis for IAGOS and its inclusion on the ESFRI-Roadmap 2006. CARIBIC:Start in 1996 One aircraft equiped with a special inlet and provisions for deployment of an instrumented cargo container. Merged into IAGOS in 2008. The open data policy of the projects has led to more than 200 scientific publications and several new findings. The support of the international community was a major driver for the proposed transformation into a sustainable RI.

10. IAGOS-Bucharest 9.11.2012 IAGOS Data 1. Complete data set stored in IAGOS data base hosted at Toulouse (CNRS) as part of ETHER free access for scientific users via data protocol transmission via GSM Modem after landing of aircraft implemented 2. NRT transmission of vertical profiles via Satcom to GTS/WIS ca. 40 levels after ascent and after descent under development (IGAS) requires GMES funding

15. IAGOS-Bucharest 9.11.2012 Limitations and Strengths IAGOS cannot replace other observing systems, because it cannot: sample the marine boundary layer (=> ships) sample the remote continental boundary layer (=> surface networks) probe the austral polar region (=> research aircraft, ships, surface stations) probe the middle and upper stratosphere except over the arctic (=> satellites, balloons, research aircraft) But it is currently the only way to: provide regular observations in the UTLS over midlatitudes at high spatial resolution provide regular tropospheric profiles of greenhouse gases, reactive gases and aerosol concentration in the troposphere over continental locations

16. IAGOS-Bucharest 9.11.2012 Future Developments 1.IGAS (IAGOS for the GMES Atmospheric Service) FP7-Project, start 1.1.2013 for 3 years, Lead: MPI-BGC, Jena WP2: Data Assimilation and Usage in Models for GAMS WP3: Implementation of Realtime Data Transmission WP4: Quality Assurance (with WMO-GAW) WP5: Development of Novel Instrumentation (SO2, H2O, Aerosol extinction) 2.
