Context of this work
▪ 3D Chemical Transport Model are now used to assess air pollution from global to urban scales… nevertheless large uncertainties remains: external forcings : emissions, meteorology, chemical boundary conditions representation of dynamics : pollutants dispersion representations of chemical and physical mecanisms (gases and aerosols) numerical representation
▪ Great Potential for increasing CTM performances :
increasing number of teams working on AQ modelling increasing computing capacity multiplication of observations (satellites)
Synergetical approach via integrated projects : GEMS, PROMOTE
Gloream workshop, Paris 2006
A common will to ameliorate air quality modelling : The GEMS project
Purpose of GEMS (Global and regional Earth-system Monitoring using Satelliteand in-situ data) :
● Global Monitoring system for Greenhouse Gases (GHG)● Global Monitoring system for Reactive Gases (GRG)● Global Monitoring system for Aerosols (AER)● Regional Air-Quality Monitoring and Forecasting (RAQ)
Create a new European system for operationnal global monitoring of Atmospheric chemistry and to produce improved medium-range & short range air-chemistry forecasts.
GEMS sub-projects :
The GEMS RAQ sub project
▪ Provide, Evaluate NRT forecasts (gases and aerosols) at continental to regional scale, relying on global and regional assimilated fields
▪ Improve existing continental to regional scales air quality models, statistical post-treatment, and explore multi-model ensemble approaches
▪ Use of satellite information for air quality prognoses▪ Impact of the global change on regional air quality▪ European cooperation for data access, skill evaluation and forecasts comparisons▪ Evaluate health impact of air quality and produce dedicated products
Gloream workshop, Paris 2006
Objectives :
Several AQ model used for sensivity studies and cross-comparison exercices Recommandation for future RAQ modelling systems
