Atmospheric chemistry is the study of chemical processes that occur in the atmosphere, and includes the underlying chemistry that governs air pollution and global climate change due to gases and particles emitted into the atmosphere.

Objectives To build a database (dynamics and chemistry) to validate chemistry-transport models (CTM) at different space and time scales. The database includes the emission register and the measurements from the […]
The Landes forest is the largest cultivated and managed forest in Europe; it isconiferous, mono-specific and in one piece. The majority species, nearly 85%, is the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), […]
Context and objective As the historical cradle of many civilisations, the Mediterranean is a region of major geostrategic interest with considerable environmental, political and societal challenges. However, it is a […]
Over five years from 2013 to 2018, the DACCIWA project (Dynamics-Aerosol-Chemistry-Cloud Interactions in West Africa, funded by the EU) worked with partners in the region to improve understanding of the […]
Developed by CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales) in partnership with Eumetsat (EUropean organisation for the exploitation of METeorological SATellites), the IASI (Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer) instrument was designed for operational meteorology and for monitoring atmospheric chemistry and climate. IASI is a thermal infrared Fourier transform spectrometer that provides radiance spectra and derived atmospheric variables to feed operational weather forecasting centers, the Copernicus Services and the scientific community.
The ILAS instrument, developed by the Japan Environment Agency (NIES), was launched on the ADEOS 1 satellite on 17 August 1996. It was a visible/infrared spectrometer, recording atmospheric absorption spectra […]
ACTRIS is a European research infrastructure that coordinates the acquisition and dissemination of measurements for the characterisation of ‘short-lived’ components of the atmosphere.The themes covered by this infrastructure are : […]
The project EUROCHAMP-2020 aims at further integrating the most advanced European atmospheric simulation chambers into a world-class infrastructure for research and innovation. The project is composed by a coordinated set […]
