Working with Copernicus for our Future

Working with Copernicus Services for our Future Ugo Cortesi National Research Council of Italy (CNR) Atmospheric monitoring (space and ground) Copernicus Space component for the atmosphere Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) Air Quality, UV Surface Radiation, Applications, Conclusions Discussed the various Sentinel technologies and their capacities for atmospheric monitoring, showed Sentinel 4 to be launched in 2022 and Sentinel 5 to be launched in 2023 Contributing to - Copernicus Atmosphere Service and Copernicus Climate Change Service Reasons why it's important - satellite technology revealing trends in topics like acid rain, regional smog, climate forcing, disasters, ozone layer Climate forecasting - offers climate change, mitigation and adaptation, weather forecast, pollution, environment, and health. Global and local analyses First Geostationary Satellite Constellation for Air Quality Monitoring in the Northern Hemisphere Air-Portal combines Earth observation data, meteo data, land use information, traffic, in-situ measurements Up to date data on chemicals like NO2 and Ozone - showed an example of the European map of NO2 component of air pollution created with 6 months of Sentinel-5p measurements Conclusions - CAMS and C3S services provide unprecedented quantity and quality of information Wealth of issues from global to local level can be tackled using this information (disasters, air pollution, weather forecasts, climate projections, mitigation and adaptation) The Philippines can largely benefit from Copernicus atmospheric data Free, full, and open data policy applies to the program - "DATA ARE FREE: USE IT"
