UNFCCC, the aim “to achieve a balance between anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by
sinks of greenhouse gases in the second half of this century” (article 4 of the Paris Agreement) can be
understood as a stabilization of the forcing by well-mixed greenhouse gases. CAMS74 can contribute to
monitor progress towards this goal.
IPCC AR6, 1.5°C special report
A graduate student at Princeton University
“I'm a graduate student at Princeton University. My current project focuses on the effect of air pollution
on surface radiation. I have researched on several reanalysis and satellite-derived products. MACC
interests me in that the aerosol radiative forcing product provides attributions of the forcing to
anthropogenic and natural aerosols, which no other products (NASA's or NOAA's) provide according to
my knowledge. I was wondering if more detailed calculated radiation, e.g. direct and diffusive radiative
forcing due to anthropogenic and natural aerosols, is available in your dataset. If so, is it possible for me
to get access?
It would be greatly appreciated if you could provide more insights on the uncertainty and caveats of using
these data.”
Answer: Radiative forcing on direct and diffuse fluxes is not included, but we could consider adding
those terms in the version to be released in August 2016. For uncertainties and caveats, Charles has been
directed to Bellouin et al. (2013).

A testimonial
"We use the CAMS Regional Ensemble forecast as boundary
conditions for our local high-resolution city-scale dispersion
model ADMS-Urban, as part of the airTEXT air quality forecasting
service for London and South East England. We need NO, NO2,
ozone and NMVOC from CAMS for the NOX chemistry scheme in
our model.„

17. • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
AR5 (2013), Chapter 7: “The best estimate [of RFari] is taken as –0.35 Wm–2. This is
the same as the AeroCom II model estimate, and also the average of the Myhre
(2009) observationally-based estimate (–0.3 Wm–2) and the Bellouin et al. (2013)
reanalysis estimate (–0.4 Wm–2).”
“The 5–95% range of RFari adopted in this assessment employs the Bellouin et al.
(2013) uncertainty to account for retrieval error in observational quantities when
constrained by global models”.
