The PANAME (PAris region urbaN Atmospheric observations and models for Multidisciplinary rEsearch) initiative is a coordinating effort involving several ongoing multidisciplinary research projects that aim to gain a better understanding of atmospheric sources and chemical processes, as well as interactions between the structure of the city and processes in the atmospheric boundary layer of the urban environment of the Paris region.

The objective of all PANAME campaigns is to build up the most exhaustive database of meteorological variables and physico-chemical properties of the atmosphere, through the mobilisation of an exceptional variety of ground and airborne observation instruments Some of the instruments will be permanently installed and others will be deployed for shorter periods of time on different measurement platforms. The most intensive phase of the experimental campaign took place from mid-June to mid-July 2022 under summer conditions.

Different themes concerning air quality, meteorology, climate change and health impacts will be addressed in these measurement campaigns:

  • The observation of atmospheric particles and air quality monitoring in the framework of RI-URBANS,
  • The impact of water stress of urban trees on air quality in the framework of the STREET campaign,
  • The impact of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions on air quality and the interactions between the urban environment and surrounding forests in the ACROSS campaign,
  • The study of the impact of exposure to heat and air pollution on health for a better characterisation and simulation of heat events in the framework of the H2C campaign,
  • Evaluation of the performance of numerical weather prediction models on a hectometric scale, in their capacity to predict extreme heat and thunderstorm events in the framework of the RDP Paris 2024 campaign,
  • Characterisation of the uncertainties and spatial representativeness of surface-atmosphere exchanges in heterogeneous environments in the framework of the MOSAI campaign,
  • Study the impact of air pollution on the health and performance of athletes in the framework of POLLUSPORT campaign,
  • Understand, predict and project the interactions between climate change and urban transformations in the ERC URBISPHERE campaign,
  • Mapping and developing a systematic greenhouse gas observation system for urban environments in the framework of H2020 Project  « PAUL – Pilot Applications in Urban Landscapes »
  • Develop systems for observing atmospheric dynamics in the urban environment, and to improve understanding of air flows, mixtures, transport and dispersion in the Dynamics project

Most of these measurement campaigns (STREET, H2C, ACROSS, RDP) benefit from the support of AERIS campaigns and AERIS provides access to the data of all these measurement campaigns in a harmonised manner through a data portal. This portal will facilitate the cross-use of this data set and its dissemination to the scientific community.
