• Co-organised by Ministry of Environment
• followed by a user day for C3S
• 67 participants
• rather new national CAMS user community
• role of CAMS services: concerns about possible duplication of work between the Copernicus services and national meteo / climate services
• new user requirements
– need more information on use of CAMS in the European Air Quality Index
– need to provide IFS meteorological data with the same open policy
– need for emission data in local scale
– need for emission data temporal evolution
• Participants were inspired to begin working with CAMS
AtmosphereMonitoring
C A M S u s e r w o r k s h o p i n S w e d e n
• Co-organised with national EPA and Met service
• experienced national CAMS user community
• 33 participants
• substantial requirements input
• Deposition repeatedly mentioned
• specific issues of Nordic countries discussed
– low pollution / 1-2 km hot spots not well covered by CAMS 10km data
– only few in situ hourly measurement stations (esp. for NO2)
• needs for evolving the national Swedish community in relation to CAMS (e.g. organizing an all-Sweden 1km forecast)

C A M S p o l i c y u s e r w o r k s h o p w i t h F A I R M O D E
• back-to-back with the plenary meeting of the FAIRMODE community
• growing experience in the use of the CAMS policy products enables an informed discussion on the advantages and limitations of these productsat national, regional and urban level
• hands-on testing session to understand better how to use the CAMS products for policy applications
• discuss participatory activities to increase the uptake of CAMS policyproducts by the policy user community
• On-line questionnaire before
• CAMS Air Control Tool (ACT)
• Feedback by CAMS users
• Air pollution management
• Episode analysis
