Published by: WMO, AEMET ; 2021XIV Regional intercomparison of the Brewer Calibration Center for Europe (RBCC-E) was held at El Arenosillo Atmospheric Sounding Station of the “Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial” (INTA) during the period 17 – 28 of June, 2019. 21 Brewer spectrometers, 15 operators and experts from 11 countries took part in XIV Regional intercomparison campaign. The campaign was organized in collaboration with the “Area of Instrumentation and Atmospheric Research” of INTA, with the support of the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) program of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The Brewer travelling instrument from the Regional Brewer Calibration Center - Europe served as ozone reference and the QASUME unit from the World Calibration Center provided the UV calibration for the participating instruments.
The main goal of the campaign was to transfer the calibration from the reference standard to the participating instruments and to compare the instruments which are also reference standards for individual networks or are used as travelling standards and included Environment and Climate Change Canada, International Ozone Services Inc. (OS), Kipp and Zonnen Inc., and Japan Meteorological Agency.
The results of the blind comparison (using the instruments’ original calibration constants) are In agreement with previous campaigns, 6 instruments show an agreement better than 0.5%, which represent (31%) of the participating instruments. Of the remaining instruments, 74% show an agreement inside the 1% range. After the maintenance tasks, performed by International Ozone Services Inc. (IOS), and using the new determined calibration constant and the stray light correction applied to single monochromator Brewers, the agreement with respect to the reference was very good: +/- 0.5%.Collection(s) and Series: GAW Report- No. 257

This campaign is part of the EUBREWNET ES1207 COST Action and is organized in collaboration with the “Area of Instrumentation and Atmospheric Research Area” of INTA, with the support of the Global Atmospheric Watch (GAW) program of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). This campaign will be used as demonstration campaign of the calibration methodologies and error assessment developed by the EMRP ATMOZ project (Traceability of Atmospheric Total Ozone).The action focuses on the calibration of Brewer spectrophotometers from Europe and North Africa. The RBCC-E will provide ozone and Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) calibration against the RBCC-E reference, whereas the QASUME unit of the Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos / World Radiation Center (PMOD /WRC) will provide a global UV reference spectrum for the ultraviolet measurements.
The initial Brewer comparison results (using the instruments’ original calibration constants) indicate that the overall agreement is slightly lower than in the previous campaign; during this campaign 44% of the instruments present an ozone deviation lower than 1% with respect to the reference. On this campaign 72% of the instruments agree on the 2% range whereas in previous campaigns around 75% of the instruments reached this agreement. After the maintenance tasks, performed by International Ozone Services Inc. (IOS), using the new determined calibration constant and the stray light correction applied to single monochromator Brewers, the agreement with respect to the reference was very good:+/- 0.5%.Collection(s) and Series: GAW Report- No. 248

SDS-WAS. Regional Center for Northern Africa, Middle East and Europe of the WMO Sand and Dust Storm Warning Advisory and Assessment System : activity report 2010-2012
This report presents the Center’s activities in the 2010-2012 period. It reports on its efforts to build capacity in the region and to develop user services to reduction of adverse impacts of dust in countries heavily impacted by dust storms. There remain important SDS-WAS research issues to be considered and it is hoped that the Center will continue to play a coordinating role in addressing these. These research topics include the assimilation of observations in numerical dust prediction models; role of dust chemical/mineral composition on health and environment; direct and indirect interacti ...
