Modelling of Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) for air quality assessment and planning relevant to the European Air Quality Directive: WG1 Guidance document FAIRMODE Forum for air quality modelling in Europe Bruce Rolstad Denby FAIRMODE 4th Plenary, Norrkjoping Sweden June 2011
Aim of the document Provide more detailed guidance for NO2 modelling, beyond the ‘Reference guide for modelling’ (EEA TR) Provide a focal point for an overview of modelling To provide recommendations for good practise in NO2 modelling Provide a link to models and the modelling community through the MDS
Content • 1 Introduction • 2 Dispersion modelling • 3 Chemistry modelling • 4 Emission data and inventories • 5 Meteorological data • 6 Modelling applications for the AQ Directive • References • Appendix • 1: Short description of parameterised “NOX to NO2” chemistry schemes • 2: Short description of manuals and tools for calculating emission inventories
Some points Tries to provide real recommendations on NO2 modelling, however, does not recommend individual models Includes direct links to the Model Documentation System (MDS) Contains a short overview of parameterised “NOX to NO2” chemistry schemes Provides overview ’fitness for purpose tables’ for chemistry and dispersion modelling
