Tender description

This contract will deliver a range of products of the CAMS portfolio that are especially targeted for (and continually developed with) Policy Users. These products are: — Annual interim assessment reports based on the Interim Regional Re-analyses in support of national annual reporting duties about air quality and threshold exceedances; — Annual assessment reports based on the Regional Re-analyses performed with validated surface observations, to serve as a reference document on the status of air quality in Europe; — Daily ‘green scenarios’, which offer alternative forecasts of European air quality obtained with reduced level of anthropogenic emissions and allowing assessing and comparing the effectiveness of possible temporary mitigation measures or of candidate measures as part of future policies development; — Daily and on-demand source-receptor calculations, which allow tracking the pollutants according to their sources and evaluating the different contributions to the local air quality. The contract also comprises the organisation of an annual workshop of the CAMS Policy Users for discussing evolution and usability of the CAMS policy products and, more generally, of the CAMS Regional and Global Products that are relevant for EU, national and local policies.
