Aerosol− cloud interactions account for the largest uncertainty in current estimates of
changes in radiative forcing according to the most recent IPCC report. 1 The term “aerosol …

Outdoor air pollution costs millions of premature deaths annually, mostly due to
anthropogenic fine particulate matter (or PM2. 5). Quito, the capital city of Ecuador, is no …

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 …

Numerical simulations were carried out with the weather research and forecasting model to
study the influence of different land-use datasets for two Austrian regions, the high-alpine …

Given the remaining air quality issues in many European regions, smart air quality strategies
are necessary to reduce the burden of poor air quality. While designing effective strategies …

Southern forests are at the highest ozone (O 3) risk in Europe where ground-level O 3 is a
pressing sanitary problem for ecosystem health. Exposure-based standards for protecting …

Tropospheric ozone (O3) produces harmful effects to forests and crops, leading to a
reduction of land carbon assimilation that, consequently, influences the land sink and the …

PMCAMx-2008, a three dimensional chemical transport model (CTM), was applied in
Europe to quantify the changes in fine particle (PM 2.5) concentration in response to …

The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of the high resolution SRTM topography
and Corine Land Cover data on simulated meteorological variables (wind speed at ten …

Accurate regional air pollution simulation relies strongly on the accuracy of the mesoscale
meteorological simulation used to drive the air quality model. The framework of the Air …
