WCS Outline

1. General Description of Atmospheric Model Evaluation Network (AMEN), drawing from the GEO Work Plan (Task DA-09-02d)Task

Demonstrate the use of web services to compare global and regional atmospheric models (including atmospheric chemistry/air quality models). Apply to a variety of Earth observations from distributed archives using standardized approaches to evaluate and improve model performance. Draw upon and contribute to the work of the Task Force on Hemispheric Transport of Air Pollution under the Convention on Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution, the IGAC-SPARC Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate Initiative, AeroCOM, and the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative.
