THE EUROCHAMP CHAMBER EXPERIMENT DATABASE: GOALS AND USES. PRESENT AND FUTURE POTENTIAL BENEFITS

摘要

EUROCHAMP (Integration of European Simulation Chambers forInvestigating Atmospheric Processes) is an Integrated Activity in the EU's Sixth Framework Program. One work package within EUROCHAMP covers the development, setup, operation, and improvement of a database on chamber experiments. This database is intended to promote collaboration between experimentalists at the chambers and modelers who want to test their models using chamber data. The database is now operational (since 2005) and contains 300 datasets in a unified format from 13 separate institutes. These datasets cover instrument inter-comparisons, gas phase chemistry and aerosol science.
