The Copernicus Fire and LandAtmosphere Modelling of Emissions (CoFLAME) project will advance the representation of interactions between wildfires and vegetation and improve the conversion of observed fire radiative power into emissions of atmospheric pollutants in the CAMS Global Fire Assimilation System (GFAS).
EUFOR-G3W will provide scientific and technical advances and targeted support for implementing WMO’s Global Greenhouse Gas Watch. It will strengthen the coordinated European contribution to global greenhouse-gas monitoring by improving the interoperability, operational readiness and accessibility of European observation and modelling systems.
The project will connect observations, prior flux estimates, atmospheric modelling, data assimilation and inversion systems to support consistent greenhouse-gas monitoring from regional to global scales. It will advance interoperable and AI-ready data pipelines, land and ocean flux products, atmospheric footprint modelling, benchmarking and uncertainty assessment. It will also strengthen international cooperation, promote the uptake of European capabilities within WMO G3W and develop recommendations for the longer-term contribution of European greenhouse-gas monitoring systems to scientific and policy needs.
Copernicus is the flagship Earth observation component of the European Union (EU) space programme. Based on the exploitation of space-based and Earth observations and scientific models, Copernicus provides validated information services for land, marine, atmosphere and climate monitoring, as well as emergency management and security. These services, and their free, open and quality-assured data and tools, support a range of environmental and security applications across sectors and policy domains. ECMWF has been entrusted to operate two of these Services - the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) and the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) - on behalf of the European Commission, as well as being a contributor to the Copernicus Emergency Management Service.
The Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) service provides consistent and quality-controlled information related to atmospheric composition, including air pollutants and greenhouse gases, solar energy, and climate forcing, everywhere in the world.

ECMWF is a world leader in Numerical Weather Predictions providing high-quality data for weather forecasts and environmental monitoring. As an intergovernmental organisation, we collaborate internationally to serve our members and the wider community with global weather predictions, data and training activities that are critical to contribute to safe and thriving societies.
The success of our activities depends on the funding and partnerships of the 35 Member and Co-operating States who provide the support and direction of our work. Our talented staff together with the international scientific community, and our powerful supercomputing capabilities, are the core of a 24/7 research and operational centre with a focus on medium and long-range predictions. We also hold one of the largest meteorological data archives in the world.
Our vision: The strength of a common goal
Our mission: Deliver global numerical weather predictions focusing on the medium-range and monitoring of the Earth system to and with our Member States
ECMWF is a multi-site organisation, with its headquarters in Reading, UK, a data centre in Bologna, Italy, and a large presence in Bonn, Germany, as a central location for our EU-related activities. ECMWF is internationally recognised as the voice of expertise in numerical weather predictions for forecasts and climate science.
