3 MODEL OUTPUT Focus on air pollutants relevant for EU-DD (health effects, effects on vegetation) Near surface layer: PM 10, SO 2, NO 2, CO, NO x, O 3 More available from 3D-CTM: VOCs, NH 3, particle size and composition Deposition, vertical resolution HARMO, Garmisch,

4 EURAD-SYSTEM Meteorology: MM5, input from ECMWF or NCEP Emissions: EEM, input from available emission data (e.g. TNO, EMEP, local, EDGAR) Chemistry: EURAD-CTM, MADE, Cloud chem. (aq.), RACM or RADM2, RACM-MIM Nesting option for local application HARMO, Garmisch,

22 SUMMARY In general good agreement between observation and model for PM 10 (but: underestimation in summer) Problems with incomplete and/or not harmonized emission data Long range transport is important for background concentrations Composition of particles has not been investigated in detail yet, but: secondary aerosols are important Lack of information in the vertical (LIDAR, satellite) HARMO, Garmisch,

23 FUTURE PLANS Long-term calculations for 2002, 2005, 2010 Hemispheric version (long-term, forecast) Data assimilation to improve air pollution forecast General improvement of model numerics, physics and chemistry HARMO, Garmisch,
