Air Quality Forecast, Monitoring and Surveillance over PACA region - Southern France

Promote Service

Introduction

The Air Quality Monitoring, Surveillance and Forecast Service at regional scale is primarily dedicated to the organizations who have the mandate to deliver the information to the public at regional level (e.g. in France, the AASQAs) in direct response to European, national and international legal obligations and conventions.
The service aims at monitoring and forecasting the concentration of several chemical species such as ozone, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide etc near the surface and at regional scale.
The service is currently operated under the name AIRES on the area known as "Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur" (and referred to as "PACA", that covers South-East France) including two high-resolution nested domains around the cities of Marseille and Nice. The computations are performed every night so as to provide meteorological and chemical analyses for the day before along with forecasts from Day+0 to Day+2 available on through a dedicated WEB site shown below.
