MACC-II Project
MACC-II: Monitoring Atmospheric Composition and Climate - Interim Implementation - is the current pre-operational atmospheric service of the European GMES programme. MACC provides data records on atmospheric composition for recent years, data for monitoring present conditions and forecasts of the distribution of key constituents for a few days ahead. MACC-II combines state-of-the-art atmospheric modelling with Earth observation data to provide information services covering European Air Quality, Global Atmospheric Composition, Climate, and UV and Solar Energy.
MACC provides various services that can be grouped in four main themes: European Air Quality, Global Atmospheric Composition, Climate, and UV and Solar Energy. Most of MACC's services are targeted on downstream service providers, who transform the elemental global and European products to more tailored services. At the same time, however, MACC also provides useful services to a wide spectrum of users. MACC's Product Portfolio can be accessed as part of the MACC web site.
