Evaluation of the performance of different atmospheric chemical transport models and inter-comparison of nitrogen and sulphur deposition estimates for the UK
(2015-10)
An evaluation has been made of a number of contrasting atmospheric chemical transport models, of varying complexity, applied to estimate sulphur and nitrogen deposition in the UK. The models were evaluated by comparison ...
Regional air quality models and the regulation of atmospheric emissions
(2015-09-01)
This paper investigates regional air quality model performance and the regulation of atmospheric emissions. Although evaluation of regional models cannot be reduced to a set of rules, the paper shows ways of developing ...
Assessment of the MACC reanalysis and its influence as chemical boundary conditions for regional air quality modeling in AQMEII-2
(2015-08)
The Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII) has now reached its second phase which is dedicated to the evaluation of online coupled chemistry-meteorology models. Sixteen modelling groups from Europe ...
Analysis of meteorology-chemistry interactions during air pollution episodes using online coupled models within AQMEII Phase-2
(2015-08)
This study reviews the top ranked meteorology and chemistry interactions in online coupled models recommended by an experts’ survey conducted in COST Action EuMetChem and examines the sensitivity of those interactions ...
Evaluation of operational online-coupled regional air quality models over Europe and North America in the context of AQMEII phase 2 : Part II: Particulate matter
(2015-08)
The second phase of the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII) brought together seventeen modeling groups from Europe and North America, running eight operational online-coupled air quality models ...
Evaluation of operational on-line-coupled regional air quality models over Europe and North America in the context of AQMEII phase 2 : Part I: Ozone
(2015-08)
The second phase of the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII) brought together sixteen modeling groups from Europe and North America, running eight operational online-coupled air quality models ...
Comparative analysis of meteorological performance of coupled chemistry-meteorology models in the context of AQMEII phase 2
(2015-08)
Air pollution simulations critically depend on the quality of the underlying meteorology. In phase 2 of the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII-2), thirteen modeling groups from Europe and four ...
Meteorology, air quality, and health in London : The ClearfLo project
(2015-05)
Capsule: The ClearfLo project provides integrated measurements of the meteorology, composition and particulate loading of London's urban atmosphere to improve predictive capability for air quality. Air quality and heat are ...
Sensitivity of tropical deep convection in global models : effects of horizontal resolution, surface constraints and 3D atmospheric nudging
(2015-04)
We investigate the ability of global models to capture the spatial patterns of tropical deep convection. Their sensitivity is assessed through changing horizontal resolution, surface flux constraints, and constraining ...
Pollutant dispersion in a developing valley cold-air pool
(2015-03-01)
Pollutants are trapped and accumulate within cold-air pools, thereby affecting air quality. A numerical model is used to quantify the role of cold-air-pooling processes in the dispersion of air pollution in a developing ...
