Aerosols in the CALIOPE air quality modelling system: evaluation and analysis of PM levels, optical depths and chemical composition over Europe
(2012-04-10)
Article
Open AccessThe CALIOPE air quality modelling system is developed and applied to Europe with high spatial resolution (12 km × 12 km). The modelled daily-to-seasonal aerosol variability over Europe in 2004 is evaluated and analysed. ... -
Assessing ozone abatement scenarios in the framework of the Spanish ozone mitigation plan
(Elsevier, 2023-12-01)
Article
Open AccessTropospheric ozone (O3) is a secondary air pollutant that affects human health, vegetation and climate, especially in Mediterranean countries such as Spain. In order to tackle this long-standing issue, the Spanish government ... -
Assimilating spaceborne lidar dust extinction can improve dust forecasts
(European Geosciences Union (EGU), 2022-01-14)
Article
Open AccessAtmospheric mineral dust has a rich tri-dimensional spatial and temporal structure that is poorly constrained in forecasts and analyses when only column-integrated aerosol optical depth (AOD) is assimilated. At present, ... -
