Operational, regional-scale, chemical weather forecasting models in Europe
(2011)
Numerical models that combine weather forecasting and atmospheric chemistry are here referred to as chemical weather forecasting models. Eighteen operational chemical weather forecasting models on regional and continental ...
A special issue of selected papers from the 7th International Conference on Air Quality - Science and Application : Istanbul, 24-27 March 2009
(2011)
The study of urban and regional air quality remains as important as ever. In 2007, the number of people living in urban areas exceeded the number living in rural areas for the first time in history. Further continuation ...
Activity pattern and personal exposure to nitrogen dioxide in indoor and outdoor microenvironments
(2010-01)
People are exposed to air pollution from a range of indoor and outdoor sources. Concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), which is hazardous to health, can be significant in both types of environments. This paper reports ...
Evaluation of a CMAQ simulation at high resolution over the UK for the calendar year 2003
(2010)
A comprehensive ‘operational’ evaluation of the performance of the Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) modelling system version 4.6 was conducted in support of pollution assessment in the UK for the calendar year 2003. ...
Road traffic impact on urban atmospheric aerosol loading at Oporto, Portugal
(2010)
At urban areas in south Europe atmospheric aerosol levels are frequently above legislation limits as a result of road traffic and favourable climatic conditions for photochemical formation and dust suspension. Strategies ...
Light scattering and absorption properties of dust particles retrieved from satellite measurements
(2009)
We use the radiative transfer model and chemistry transport model to improve our retrievals of dust optical properties from satellite measurements. The optical depth and absorbing optical depth of mineral dust can be ...
Quantifying the imprint of a severe Hector thunderstorm during ACTIVE/SCOUT-O3 onto the water content in the upper troposphere/lower stratosphere
(2009)
The development of a severe Hector thunderstorm that formed over the Tiwi Islands, north of Australia, during the Aerosol and Chemical Transport in Tropical Convection/Stratospheric-Climate Links with Emphasis on the Upper ...
New algorithms and their application for satellite remote sensing of surface PM2.5 and aerosol absorption
(2009)
Estimation of Particulate Matter (PM) concentration and aerosol absorption is very important in air quality and climate studies. To date, smoke, mineral dust and anthropogenic pollutants are the most uncertain aerosol ...
Lagrangian modelling of plume chemistry for secondary pollutants in large industrial plumes
(2008)
Industrial sources of nitrogen oxides range from boilers and metal furnaces to fossil fuel power stations. Current UK regulatory practice for these plumes adopts a fixed proportion of nitrogen dioxide, as a simple and ...
Performance characteristics of MM5-SMOKE-CMAQ for a summer photochemical episode in Southeast England, United Kingdom
(2008)
In this study a modelling system consisting of Mesoscale Model (MM5), Sparse Matrix Operator Kernel Emissions (SMOKE) and Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model has been applied to a summer photochemical period in ...
