CAMS_44 Development of the global fire assimilation system

Tender description

This ITT, entitled “Development of the global fire assimilation system”, is for providing support for and further development of the global fire assimilation system (GFAS) of CAMS operated at ECMWF. GFAS delivers near-real-time emissions of gases and aerosols through data assimilation and numerical modelling supporting atmospheric composition forecasts. The Successful Tenderer will be expected to provide improvements for the current GFAS system in terms of updated injection height estimation using the Plume Rise and IS4FIRES models , provide near-real-time Fire Radiative Power (FRP) observations from the GOES and Himawari geostationary satellites, monitor global FRP, improve GFAS usage, and regularly update information on land cover maps and spurious FRP signals, as well as deliver memoranda and reports. The Successful Tenderer will also advise the team working on the global production system at ECMWF. The Successful Tenderer will have to demonstrate considerable experience in the field of estimation of fire emissions from satellite data.
