About this dataset

Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service global reanalysis and forecast of atmospheric composition at ~80km resolution.

The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) provides global atmospheric composition data including aerosols, chemical species, and greenhouse gases. The global reanalysis (EAC4) offers a consistent 4-decade record from 2003-present at approximately 80km resolution. Forecast products provide 5-day predictions of air quality, dust, and fire emissions.

FAQ

What is the difference between CAMS and Sentinel-5P?

CAMS provides model-based reanalysis and forecasts of atmospheric composition (synthesizing multiple observations), while Sentinel-5P provides direct satellite measurements of specific trace gases.

Is CAMS data available in near real-time?

Yes. CAMS provides daily global forecasts of aerosols, chemical species, and air quality indices with 5-day lead time.
