Tropospheric trace gas and aerosol pollutants have adverse effects on health, environment
and climate. In order to quantify and mitigate such effects, a wide range of processes leading …

The purpose of this work is to study the impact of an urban land cover on local meteorology
and spatial distribution of atmospheric pollutants over the Paris region. One anticyclonic …

The most important attribute of geospatial platforms is their unique potential to aggregate a
multitude of public and private geographic data sets, providing access to data from …

Abstract The 2008 European Air Quality Directive (AQD)(2008/50/EC) encourages the use of
models in combination with monitoring in a range of applications. It also requires Member …

The development and application of chemistry transport models has a long tradition. Within
the Netherlands the LOTOS–EUROS model has been developed by a consortium of …

For the first time, the long‐term evaluation of an operational real‐time air quality forecasting
and analysis system is presented, using error statistics over 3 consecutive years. This …

Two different data assimilation techniques have been applied to assess exceedances of the
daily and annual mean limit values for PM10 on the regional scale in Europe. The two …

The Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Cartography
(SCIAMACHY) satellite spectrometer provides detailed information on the nitrogen dioxide …

Despite their wide applications in many fields of environmental sciences, data assimilation
methods are still poorly adopted for the numerical simulation of pollutant dispersion at the …

An ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) has been coupled to the CHIMERE chemical transport
model in order to assimilate ozone ground-based measurements on a regional scale. The …
