| Monitoring and Forecasting of Global Atmospheric Composition |
MACC monitors the composition of the atmosphere in near-real-time by assimilating observations of various meteorlogical variables as well as reactive gases and aerosols into its data assimilation system. The observations are thus used to constrain a computer model that describs the state of the atmosphere at any one moment.

Verification
| Aerosol Verification | |
|---|---|
|
The aerosol analysis/forecasting system is being verified operationally against AERONET observations. The aerosol verification plots show comparisons of aerosol optical depth (AOD) values from the MACC analysis compared to the various AERONET station observations. The verification plots also show the individual aerosol types as modelled by the MACC system. This allows constant monitoring of the quality of the MACC aerosol analysis/forecasting system. |

| Monitoring and evaluation of MACC stratospheric ozone | |
|
This service allows preliminary monitoring and evaluation of the MACC integrated stratospheric ozone service by comparison with the BASCOE NRT analyses of Aura-MLS level-2 data. Since 20091101, also an alternative NRT stream of the coupled IFS-TM5 forecast system (with data assimilation) is running in research mode. |
