| Descripció: | The present contribution describes a thorough quantitative evaluation study performed for a reference year
(2004). The CALIOPE modelling system is configured with 38 vertical layers reaching up to 50 hPa for the
meteorological core. Atmospheric initial and boundary conditions are obtained from the NCEP final analysis data.
The vertical resolution of the CMAQ chemistry-transport model for gas-phase and aerosols has been increased
from 8 to 15 layers in order to simulate vertical exchanges more accurately. Gas phase boundary conditions are
provided by the LMDz-INCA2 global climate-chemistry model (see Hauglustaine et al., 2004). The DREAM
model simulates long-range transport of mineral dust over the domains under study. For the European simulation,
emissions are disaggregated from the EMEP expert emission inventory for 2004 to the utilized resolution using
the criteria implemented in the HERMES emission model (Baldasano et al., 2008b). The HERMES model
system, using a bottom-up approach, was adopted to estimate emissions for the Iberian Peninsula simulation at
4 km horizontal resolution, every hour. In order to evaluate the performances of the CALIOPE system, model
simulations were compared with ground-based measurements from the EMEP and Spanish air quality networks.
For the European domain, 45 stations have been used to evaluate NO2, 60 for O3, 39 for SO2, 25 for PM10 and
16 for PM2.5. On the other hand, the Iberian Peninsula domain has been evaluated against 75 NO2 stations, 84
O3 stations, 69 for SO2, and 46 for PM10. Such large number of observations allows us to provide a detailed
discussion of the model skills over quite different geographical locations and meteorological situations. |
