AIRES in few words • AIRES (Atmospheric Integrated REgional System) : • Air quality forecast and simulation system in PACA region (Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur). Daily 3D forecasts of ozone, nitrogen oxides, aerosols and others pollutants. • based on CHIMERE and MM5 models (www.mmm.ucar.edu/mm5/). • Chemical boundary conditions : from PREV’AIR (www.prevair.org). • AIRES provides fine resolution forecasts at 12h, 24h and 48h over 3 different areas (ESCOMPTE, NICE and whole PACA). • Partners : ACRI-ST (www.acri-st.fr), IPSL and LISA, CHIMERE research team (http://euler.lmd.polytechnique.fr/chimere/index.html).

MESO-NHC Assessment AIRES is taking part in the ESCOMPTE modelling exercise with ACRI-ST participation. Example of comparison between MESO-NHC, CHIMERE-ACRI and observations 12h T.U. 21st of June 2001, IOP2a. CHIMERE-ACRI Observations
Assessment Comparison between ozone temporal profile from AIX PLATANES ground station (black dots) and CHIMERE-ACRI (model, bold violet line). Others color lines represent all models involved in the ESCOMPTE modelling exercise.
Assessment Comparison between ozone vertical profile from ALTO LIDAR (observations, left) and CHIMERE-ACRI (model, right) during IOP2b.

CONCLUSION • AIRES is • Operationnal : Forecast, survey, scenario • Validated : (still in progress) • summers 2001 (ESCOMPTE), 2003 and 2004 • Provide daily datasets to experts who analyze air quality over the PACA region. • This information is taken into account for regional regulation information. • Upgreadeable et modular(links with IPSL, LISA, ACRI-ST) • In the near future: • AIRES will be involved in the PRIMEQUAL SCENARIOS PROGRAM. • It will be able to evaluate the different impacts of reductions emissions scenarios. • (I.

QUESTIONS • We are looking for tracks : forecast improvements in PACA region • Does-it possible to start earlier D-1 computation ? Spin-up pb. For the first hours ? • CHIMERE DUST version ? • - Users returns ? • - specials needs (inventory) ? • - computer time versus « CHIMERE GAS version » • - parallel version ? • Exchange with others CHIMERE’s users • Specially with people who are faced with Breazes Phenomena • Pond Breaze • Sea Breaze • Valley Breaze
