Description
The Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides continuous data and information on atmospheric composition. The service describes the current situation, forecasts the situation a few days ahead, and analyses consistently retrospective data records for recent years for land and the global ocean.
Data elements
The following datasets are available:
Model Forecast
- Sulphur Dioxide:
- Total SO2
- Surface SO2
- Nitrogen Dioxide:
- Total NO2
- Surface NO2
- Carbon Dioxide:
- Total CO2
- Surface CO2
Legal basis
Copernicus is the European Union's Earth Observation Programme, looking at our planet and its environment for the ultimate benefit of all European citizens. Regulation (EU) No 377/2014 establishing the Copernicus Programme stipulates that Copernicus services are made available and accessible to any citizen and any organisation around the world on a free, full and open access basis.
Scope and source of data
CAMS data contain hourly forecast atmospheric [emission] products for the global ocean in support of all maritime activities (safety, security, environment, fisheries, etc.).
Technical implementation
The CAMS information is provided through an WMS interface and is displayed as “Forecast model” raster data layers under the “Met-Ocean” layer of the SEG.
Conditions of access
The products delivered by CAMS are provided free of charge and are available to all users. Hence, CAMS data is available to EU Member States’ authorities executing functions in the maritime domain, ports, EMSA, EC and other EU bodies users.
