Workshop organised by the COST Action ES0602 “Towards a European Network of Chemical Weather Forecasting and information systems”
Modelling and forecasting atmospheric composition: from individual chemical transport models towards multi-model ensembles
Venue: Budapest, Hungary,
Hungarian Meteorological Service, Kitaibel Pal utca 1
Local organiser: Krisztina Labancz, Hungarian Meteorological
Service
The objectives of the workshop are to evaluate and analyse air quality forecasting models and their operational applications, including the inter-comparison of individual modelling systems and presentation of air quality ensembles. The results of existing major European research projects in this area will be reviewed. Finally, we aim to identify the prominent gaps of knowledge and outline future research needs.
Workshop Agenda:
9.00 – 9.10 Welcome, Chairpersons: Mikhail Sofiev and Jaakko Kukkonen
Overviews of research projects and actions
9:10 – 9:30 J.
Kukkonen: Overview of the progress of the COST ES0602 action
9:30 – 9:50 V-H.
Peuch: GEMS and PROMOTE ensembles
9:50 – 10:10 J.
Kaminski: Canadian air quality forecasting
10:10 – 10:30 Coffee break
10:30 – 10:50 H.
Fagerli: The modelling within EMEP on long-term atmospheric pollution
10:50 – 11:10 A.
Baklanov: Overview of the MEGAPOLI project
11:10 – 11:30 M.
Gauss: Overview of the CityZen project
11:30 – 12:30 Lunch
Model ensembles and inter-comparisons
12:30 – 12:50 T. Haigh:
Near real time monitoring of air quality in Europe
12:50 – 13:10 M.
Sofiev: Model inter-comparisons within COST-728 and COST ES0602
13:10 – 13:30
S. Galmarini: An ensemble system for air quality applications
13:30 – 14:00 Coffee break
14:00 – 16:00 Structured discussion. What have been the major achievements of the current research projects and actions, which measures would result in more reliable and accurate chemical weather forecasting, is the COST ES0602 action progressing to the correct direction, major gaps of knowledge and future research needs.
16:00 Closure
