CAMS_41 Development of global greenhouse gas aspects

Tender description

This ITT, entitled “Development of global greenhouse gas aspects”, is for providing support for and further development of the global production system of CAMS operated at ECMWF, which delivers 3D distributions of greenhouse gases (CO2 and CH4) in the troposphere and stratosphere through data assimilation and numerical modelling. The Successful Tenderer will be expected to deliver an improved representation of methane fluxes from natural wetlands for use in the CAMS global production system, implement the Farquhar photosynthesis model to allow future use of satellite observations of solar-induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) to further optimize the land surface model used in the CAMS global production system, provide timely retrieval products from the GOSAT satellite, as well as deliver memoranda and reports. The Successful Tenderer will also provide expertise to the team working on the global production system at ECMWF regarding greenhouse-gas aspects. The ITT targets organisations with considerable experience in the field of modelling of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and their sources and sinks.
