Enhancing Air Quality Modeling and Measurement for Sustainable Environmental Protection

The Task Force on Modeling and Measurement activity focuses on supporting air pollution reduction protocols, impact assessment, EMEP models evaluation, urban scale air quality assessment, and collaboration with modeling teams.

  1. Task Force on Modelling and measurement activity : synergies with FAIRMODE Laurence Rouïl (INERIS) Co-chair of the TFMM

  2. The TFMM within the CLRTAP set up

  3. Measurement and modelling as a whole • Support the implementation of the protocols of the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution: Gothenburg, HM, POPs • Assessment of the impact of the protocols: impact of the reduction of the emissions of air pollutants • Long term monitoring according to the EMEP monitoring strategy (NILU/CCC) • Spatialized air concentration and deposition fields in the EMEP area computed with the EMEP models : O3, PM (met.no/MSC-W) , POPs, HM (MSC-E) • Input data for TFIAM : source/receptor matrices for the RAINS/GAINS model • EMEP assessment Report ; EMEP PM assessment report (2007) • EMEP-unified model review (2004); EURODELTA 1 project

  4. Status 2006, incl intensive data Main ions in precip PM10 and/or PM2.5 TC, OC or OM 83 29 12 Heavy metals POP VOC 16 17 67

  5. Level 1 sites Level 1 sites Level2 supersites

  6. The modellingactivity • Added-value brought by the common work joining measurement and modelling communities • Yearly production of trends analyses country by country and source/receptor relationships (transboundary contributions to “national” air pollution) • Support to the development and the evaluation of the EMEP models (/www.emep.int/OpenSource/index.html ) • Exchange of experience with the modelling teams in the Parties; support for the development of modelling capacities in the Parties

  7. Currentpriorities • PM modelling : realisation of EMEP field campaigns (2006-2007 and 2008-2009) dedicated to PM speciation • Natural contributions • EC/OC • Nitrogen issues : according to the revised EMEP strategy and considering and the current initiatives • Improvement of the model accuracy (resolution?) • Urban scale : how to better account for the urban scale in regional air quality assessment : City-Delta Follow-up • Inconsistencies between emissions, measurement and modelling for some pollutants : heavy metals first • Use of the new generation of observation data : • Research monitoring networks (EUSAAR, EUCAARi, EARLINET...) • Earth Observation data

  8. June 2006- Evaluation of the EMEP-Unifed model -

  9. Example: Improvement for Payerne Meteorologisk Instituttmet.no

  10. Currentpriorities • PM modelling : realisation of EMEP field campaigns (2006-2007 and 2008-2009) dedicated to PM speciation • Natural contributions • EC/OC • Nitrogen issues : according to the revised EMEP strategy and considering and the current initiatives • Improvement of the model accuracy (resolution?) • Urban scale : how to better account for the urban scale in regional air quality assessment : City-Delta Follow-up • Inconsistencies between emissions, measurement and modelling for some pollutants : heavy metals, PM and even O3 (trends analysis) • Use of the new generation of observation data : • Research monitoring networks (EUSAAR, EUCAARi, EARLINET...) • Earth Observation data Obvious cooperation with other on-going or emerging initiatives !

  11. Identified areas for cooperation

  12. Upcoming TFMM meetings • TFMM workshop – November 2009, Ispra - back to back with the FAIRMODE plenary meeting • Identification of gaps to be filled in and future priorities for the next EMEP field campaigns • Decision on the future modelling activities of the TFMM : modelling objectives, national contribution, collaborations... • TFMM annual meeting– Spring 2010- Cyprus ; back to back with a joint day with the TFEIP annual meeting
