Integrated Carbon Observation System European Research infrastructure Consortium

ICOS ERIC

Tavoitteet ja toiminta (ilmoittajan oma kuvaus, englanniksi)

The Integrated Carbon Observation System (ICOS) is a distributed European-wide Research Infrastructure producing high-precision data on greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere, as well as on carbon fluxes between the atmosphere, the land surface, and the ocean. ICOS provides standardized and open data from more than 180 measurement stations across 16 European countries. ICOS provides data that researchers transform into scientific knowledge to improve our understanding of the Earth system. Evidence-based knowledge on carbon emissions and sinks contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and EU Societal Challenges, especially climate change. ICOS is a major European research infrastructure contributing to the global network of international climate organizations. The knowledge generated by the use of ICOS data supports the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC).
