[U01-01] ICOS observations towards a carbon neutral society
★Invited Papers
The Integrated Carbon Observations System (ICOS) is a European Research Infrastructure implemented within the framework of the European Strategic Forum for Research Infrastructures (ESFRI). It is a cooperation of currently 16 European countries. ICOS produces high-quality data on greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, as well as on carbon fluxes between the atmosphere, the land surface and the oceans. The measurements are highly standardised and ICOS data fully open and free.
The high quality data and related products provided by ICOS have becoming part of a global system of science and observation that supports the political processes following the Paris Agreement.
Atmospheric observations are direct measurement of the concentration of GHGs - carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) being the most common ones - in the atmosphere at a given moment. A combination of data from in situ networks and satellites provides the pattern of GHG concentrations over space and time that contains valuable information about fluxes between land and oceans and the atmosphere. Analysing these patterns provide valuable information on fossil fuel emissions AT regional and national level. They can support the national inventories of GHGs and mitigation activities.
The continuous monitoring of mitigation activities is nowadays happening at many scales: at local scale, many cities and regions want to proof the impact of their climate action plans, companies need to show verified data on their efforts to reduce emissions or measures to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere need to be monitored, reported and verified to make them tradable.
The presentation will show the impact of ICOS data at several scales.
