      Denby, Bruce; Gauss, Michael; Wind, Peter; Mu, Qing; Wærsted, Eivind Grøtting; Fagerli, Hilde; Valdebenito Bustamante, Alvaro Moises; Klein, Heiko (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)
      A description of the new air quality downscaling model – the urban EMEP (uEMEP) and its combination with the EMEP MSC-W model (European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme Meteorological Synthesising Centre West) – is presented. uEMEP is based on well-known Gaussian modelling principles. The uniqueness of the system is in its combination with the EMEP MSC-W model and the “local fraction” calculation ...
    • The EMEP MSC-W chemical transport model - technical description 

      Simpson, David; Benedictow, Anna; Berge, Halldis; Bergström, Robert; Emberson, Lisa D.; Fagerli, Hilde; Flechard, Chris R.; Hayman, Garry D.; Gauss, Michael; Jonson, Jan Eiof; Jenkin, Michael E.; Nyiri, Agnes; Richter, Cornelia; Semeena, Valiyavetil S.; Tsyro, Svetlana; Tuovinen, Juha Pekka; Valdebenito, Alvaro; Wind, Peter (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-West (MSC-W) of the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) has been performing model calculations in support of the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) for more than 30 years. The EMEP MSC-W chemical transport model is still one of the key tools within European air pollution policy assessments. Traditionally, the model ...
    • Local fractions-a method for the calculation of local source contributions to air pollution, illustrated by examples using the EMEP MSC-W model (rv4_33) 

      Wind, Peter; Denby, Bruce; Gauss, Michael (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-20)
      <p>We present a computationally inexpensive method for individually quantifying the contributions from different sources to local air pollution. It can explicitly distinguish between regional–background and local–urban air pollution, allowing for fully consistent downscaling schemes. <p>The method can be implemented in existing Eulerian chemical transport models and can be used to distinguish the ...
    • A multi-model study of impacts of climate change on surface ozone in Europe 

      Langner, J.; Engardt, M.; Baklanov, A.; Christensen, J. H.; Gauss, Michael; Geels, Camila; Hedegaard, G.B.; Nuterman, R.; Simpson, D.; Soares, J; Sofiev, M; Wind, Peter; Zakey, A. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      The impact of climate change on surface ozone over Europe was studied using four offline regional chemistry transport models (CTMs) and one online regional integrated climate-chemistry model (CCM), driven by the same global projection of future climate under the SRES A1B scenario. Anthropogenic emissions of ozone precursors from RCP4.5 for year 2000 were used for simulations of both present and ...
