Analysis of eMIssions usinG Observations - AMIGO
IGAC logo
The overaching goal of the AMIGO (Analysis of eMIssions usinG Observations) project of the International Global Atmospheric Chemistry (IGAC) project is to organize the international scientific community around syntheses of research using observations-based analysis techniques that aim to better quantify emissions for a variety of trace gases and at different spatio-temporal scales.
 
AMIGO addresses the need for a more accurate knowledge of emissions and is at the crossroads of several parallel IGAC activities involving emissions, atmospheric modeling and analysis on observations. It is of high relevance for policy makers and society.
 

The syntheses will consider chemically active compounds and greenhouse gases and will evaluate the consistency of their inferred emissions. AMIGO will assess the ability of different analysis techniques to provide consistent quantification of the emissions of multiple species across a range of spatial and temporal scales. Criteria to establish the accuracy of emissions data and their uncertainties will also be defined.

The AMIGO project kicked-off in 2017 and welcomes new participants and ideas. You are invited to contact  the AMIGO co-chairs:

  • Kazuyuki Miyazaki, kazuyuki.miyazaki[AT]jpl.nasa.gov
  • Jenny Stavrakou, jenny[AT]aeronomie.be

AMIGO organises meetings, workshops, contributes to the organization of the IGAC conferences, and coordinates synthesis papers.

 Since 2021, AMIGO welcomes a Working Group on Chemical Reanalysis and flux inversions, led by: Benjamin Gaubert (NCAR, US), Idir Bouarar (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, Germany), and Thierno Doumbia (Laboratoire d'AĆ©rologie, Toulouse, France).
