An integrated model system tool to evaluate the impact of urban mobility policies on air pollution: Barcelona case study
(Barcelona Supercomputing Center, 2020-05)
Conference report
Open AccessAir pollution remains as a key unresolved problem in many urban areas. Cities with such problem are gradually implementing Traffic Management Strategies (TMS) to reduce the total kilometers travelled by vehicles and ... -
Bias-adjustment method for street-scale air quality models
(Barcelona Supercomputing Center, 2021-05)
Conference report
Open AccessAir quality (AQ) is a growing concern, especially in urban areas where high-density populated regions are exposed to frequent exceedances of regulated pollutants. To take action in reducing citizen exposure to pollution, ... -
CALIOPE-Urban v1.0: coupling R-LINE with a mesoscale air quality modelling system for urban air quality forecasts over Barcelona city (Spain)
(Copernicus Publications, 2019)
Article
Open Accesshe NO2 annual air quality limit value is systematically exceeded in many European cities. In this context, understanding human exposure, improving policy and planning, and providing forecasts requires the development of ... -
Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service TEMPOral profiles (CAMS-TEMPO): global and European emission temporal profile maps for atmospheric chemistry modelling
(Copernicus, 2021-02)
Article
Open AccessWe present the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service TEMPOral profiles (CAMS-TEMPO), a dataset of global and European emission temporal profiles that provides gridded monthly, daily, weekly and hourly weight factors for ... -
Estimating lockdown-induced European NO2 changes using satellite and surface observations and air quality models
(Copernicus Publications, 2021)
Article
Open AccessThis study provides a comprehensive assessment of NO2 changes across the main European urban areas induced by COVID-19 lockdowns using satellite retrievals from the Tropospheric Monitoring Instrument (TROPOMI) onboard the ... -
Evaluation of traffic emission models coupled with a microscopic traffic simulator and on-road measure
(Barcelona Supercomputing Center, 2018-04-24)
Conference report
Open AccessThis study aims to compare and contrast the emission results of two instantaneous traffic emission models coupled with a microscopic traffic simulator and COPERT. These will be evaluated with the observed results of on-road ... -
HERMESv3, a stand-alone multi-scale atmospheric emission modelling framework – Part 1: global and regional module
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2019-05-14)
Article
Open AccessAbstract Back to top We present the High-Elective Resolution Modelling Emission System version 3 (HERMESv3), an open source, parallel and stand-alone multi-scale atmospheric emission modelling framework that computes ... -
HERMESv3, a stand-alone multi-scale atmospheric emission modelling framework – part 2: the bottom–up module
(Copernicus Publications, 2020-03)
Article
Open AccessWe describe the bottom–up module of the High-Elective Resolution Modelling Emission System version 3 (HERMESv3), a Python-based and multi-scale modelling tool intended for the processing and computation of atmospheric ... -
Local traffic contribution to black carbon horizontal and vertical profiles in compact urban areas
(Barcelona Supercomputing Center, 2019-05-07)
Conference report
Open AccessUrban air pollution is characterized by strong spatial gradients produced by the presence of heavily trafficked streets. Given the negative health effects of air pollution, decision makers are implementing policies to ... -
Meteorology-normalized impact of the COVID-19 lockdown upon NO2 pollution in Spain
(Copernicus Publications, 2020)
Article
Open AccessThe spread of the new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 that causes COVID-19 forced the Spanish Government to implement extensive lockdown measures to reduce the number of hospital admissions, starting on 14 March 2020. Over the ... -
On the impact of excess diesel NOX emissions upon NO2 pollution in a compact city
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2021)
Article
Open AccessNOX emissions from diesel light-duty-vehicles (LDV) largely exceed the Euro emission standards in real-world driving conditions. Recent studies have quantified their impact upon air quality and human health primarily based ... -
Ozone source apportionment during peak summer events over southwestern Europe
(European Geosciences Union, 2019-04-25)
Article
Open AccessIt is well established that in Europe, high O3 concentrations are most pronounced in southern/Mediterranean countries due to the more favourable climatological conditions for its formation. However, the contribution of the ... -
Testing simple models for street wind conditions in Barcelona
(Barcelona Supercomputing Center, 2017-05-04)
Conference report
Open AccessStreet wind speed and direction drive models to estimate air quality levels at street scale. In this study, simple models are combined with a mesoscale meteorological model to provide wind conditions at street level. Then, ... -
The Multi-Scale Infrastructure for Chemistry and Aerosols (MUSICA)
(American Meteorological Society, 2020)
Article
Open AccessTo explore the various couplings across space and time and between ecosystems in a consistent manner, atmospheric modeling is moving away from the fractured limited-scale modeling strategy of the past toward a unification ... -
Time-resolved emission reductions for atmospheric chemistry modelling in Europe during the COVID-19 lockdowns
(Copernicus Publications, 2021)
Article
Open AccessWe quantify the reductions in primary emissions due to the COVID-19 lockdowns in Europe. Our estimates are provided in the form of a dataset of reduction factors varying per country and day that will allow the modelling ...
