AMFIC status

• Current status:• Improved data sets available for 2003-2005:

• CO WFMDv0.6 (Buchwitz et al., ACP, 2007)

• Methane WFMDv1.0 (Schneising et al., ACPD (in press), 2008)

• First validation using ground-based FTS (7 European stations, 2003-2004) (Dils et al., ACVE-3, 2006)

• Focus ongoing & future activities: Assessment of usefulness for AMFIC project


AMFIC related activities since kick-off

• Detailed studies focussing on China (see following slides; ongoing activity)

• Extraction & delivery of CO at AMFIC validation sites

• DRAGON rice monitoring sub-project (Dr Thuy Le Toan) informed about availability of AMFIC methane

• Meeting with Kostas Kourtidis to discuss data sets incl. web display aspects

• Meeting with Dr Li, State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA), Beijing, beginning of April in China

• SEPA is responsible for entire China

• Meeting focus: Exchange of general information on satellite data & retrieval

• SEPA is interested in establishing a Remote Sensing group (own retrievals) and using satellite data for AQ monitoring and improving emission data bases (NO2, CO, ...)

• Methane paper submitted describing the 2003-2005 AMFIC methane data set: Schneising et al., ACPD (in press), 2008
