CAMS GA Aircraft Measurements by Schlager

DLR-Institute of Atmospheric Physics, Oberpfaffenhofen
Aircraft measurements in the Asian Summer
Monsoon Anticyclone – support of flight planning
by CAMS forecasts
CAMS General Assembly, Athens, 14-16 June 2016
2. Topics
• Asian Summer Monsoon Anticyclone –
interesting feature to validate CAMS
• OMO aircraft campaign in 2015 with CAMS support
• Observations versus CAMS forecasts for a selected case
• CAMS forecasts for future campaigns:
STRATOCLIM (2016) and EMERGE (2017, 2018).
3. Features:
ASM anticyclone is one of the
largest synoptical features on Earth
Isolated air mass by closed
circulation
Input of BL air by frequent
deep convection
Located over very polluted
region – ASM cause large-scale
dispersion of pollution
Area of trop-strat exchange
Alternation of combined and
splitted Tibetian and Iranian
anticyclones

Questions
What are the main source
regions of the air masses
confined in the anticyclone?
Are there sharp gradients
across the edge of the
anticyclone?
How much reactive nitrogen is
in the anticyclone?
Is there enhanced
photochemistry in the
anticyclone?
What is the source and nature
of the aerosol layer in the
anticyclone?

(120 flight hrs)
Region in the UT influenced by
convection and monsoon dynamics
Region with
pristine air masses

10. OMO Measurements
• Emissions from naturel and anthropogenic sources
(CO, CH4, NOx, SO2, NMVOC and their isotopes)
• short-lived radicals
(OH, HO2, ROx, BrO)
• long-lived oxidants (e.g. O3)
• reaction intermediates (aldehydes, ketones)
• products that can be removed from the atmosphere
• by deposition processes (acids, peroxides)
• water vapor
• radiation
• number concentration of Aitken aerosols
11. Forecast / Analysis Tools
• ECMWF meteorological forecasts
• CAMS chemical forecasts
• Forecasts of air mass backward and foreward trajectories
• METEOSAT 7 imagery (IR and Vis)

22. Conclusions
• A distinct chemical composition was observed within the ASM
anticyclone with sharp trace gas gradient at the edge
• CAMS forecasts were very useful for the planning of the HALO
flights during OMO
• Key chemical species (e.g. NOx, SO2) were well simulated by CAMS
• An interactive tool for the CAMS forecasts would further intensify
the use of CAMS in field campaigns (e.g. coupling of CAMS with
the DLR mission tool)
• Easy access of CAMS analysis chemical data would suppport
post-campaign data analysis and comparisons
Many thanks to the CAMS team !!!
