AtmoHub: A National Atmospheric Composition Hub for Air Quality Monitoring and Forecasting in Greece
AtmoHub, the Greek Copernicus National Collaboration Programme (NCP) gateway, delivers daily air quality forecasts aligned with the EC Air Quality Directives and provides in situ measurements for key pollutants (NO2, O3, PM10, PM2.5, SO2), as well as insights into environmental phenomena such as pollen dispersion, smoke, volcanic activity, and dust transport. To address a previous lack of coordinated atmospheric services in Greece, it utilizes the WRF-Chem model for downscaling CAMS data. Offering hourly forecasts at 5 km resolution, AtmoHub supports researchers, authorities, and the public, promoting climate resilience and informed air quality management through a centralized, accessible platform.
