The MINNI system joins the Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service consortium
It’s official! Starting from June 15, the air quality forecasts in Europe provided by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) will now include a set of eleven individual models, up from the previous nine.
The two new operational systems are MINNI from ENEA (Italy), based on the FARM chemistry-transport model, and MONARCH from the Barcelona Supercomputing Centre (Spain).
We are particularly pleased with this news, not only because it will increase sensitivity and attention to typically Mediterranean issues (such as the arrival of Saharan dust, summer ozone peaks, or issues related to the Po Valley), but also because, over the past 20 years, ARIANET has coordinated the development and dissemination of the FARM model, using it in various national and international applications.
Here’s to greater achievements!
