Description

NOTE (2024-03-15): Due to modernization work impacting the Copernicus Climate Data Store, production of ECMWF datasets will be significantly disrupted. The provider did not specify a planned completion date, so for more details, see the user forum.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service provides the capacity to continuously monitor the composition of the Earth's atmosphere at global and regional scales. The main global near-real-time production system is a data assimilation and forecasting suite providing two 5-day forecasts per day for aerosols and chemical compounds that are part of the chemical scheme.

Prior to 2021-07-01 only two parameters were available, 1. Total Aerosol Optical Depth at 550 nm surface 2. Particulate matter d < 25 um surface Note that system:time_start refers to forecast time.
