Copernicus

W H A T I S C O P E R N I C U S ?

• Copernicus is a flagship Space programme of the European Union

– to monitor the Earth, its environment and ecosystems

– to ensure its citizens are prepared and protected for security risks

and natural or man-made environmental risks and disasters

• Copernicus as user-driven Programme

• It has full, free and open to all data policy

• Is a tool for economic development and a driver for the digital

economy

• Initiated in 1998, Copernicus became operational in 2014. Budget for

2014-2020 was 4.3 B€. Foreseen budget for 2021-2027 is 5.8 B€.

Example: NO2 tropospheric column from Copernicus Sentinel-5P (11/09/2019)

Observations are essential, but direct use is generally limited:• gaps in space and time• observed quantities may not be

directly relevant (vertical column vs nose-level concentration)

• Complex and numerous

What services do:• blend observations (satellite and

non satellite) with model to provide a consistent “picture”

• forecasts, some days ahead• reanalyses over past years, decades

The 2019 ozone hole has started earlier than usual and it has been developing at a much slower pace than usual and is already showing sings of closing up (more than a month in advance). The 2019 ozone hole might be the smallest ever recorded.

Model performance against independent sondes is excellent so far.

The CAMS global reanalysis covers the period 2003 to end 2017 (2018 available soon). It is a marked improvement over our previous datasets (MACC reanalysis and CAMS interim reanalysis).

A user being responsible for two large PV systems noted substantialdifferences in the energy yields…

Project developper: Not our fault – different meteorological and radiation conditions... But conditions (both irradiances and extended cloud statisticson frequency of cloud types, duration of cloud...) were in fact very similaraccording to CAMS for both locations.

Based on that argument of the owner, the PV system developer went back on the field (costly) and found… a cabling error in one of the systems.
