CAMS2_53b Development and provision of hot-spot emissions of CH4 from Copernicus Contributing Missions

Description du marché

This ITT is for providing quantitative estimates of methane emissions from large point sources around the world based on satellite data from the Copernicus Contributing Missions (CCM) programme. The Successful Tenderer shall use the observations of methane abundances in the atmosphere provided by the CCM satellite missions to derive emission estimates for the targeted local emission sources. The CCM programme is still being ramped up for atmospheric composition observations, which means that this ITT is meant to be exploratory to assess the added value of the CCM missions with regards to CAMS. This ITT therefore asks for an agile approach with optional activities that will be triggered by ECMWF, once sufficiently mature data from each of the satellites becomes available for use in this contract. The Successful Tenderer shall also support ECMWF with the production of web-based graphics to communicate the information to a range of user stakeholders, including the European Commission, EU member states, and Copernicus contributing countries.
