Abstract
The EUMAC Zooming Model is applied to simulate wind flow and pollutant transport and transformation in the Greater Thessaloniki Area (GTA). The simulation results agree fairly well with observations during the Thessaloniki ‘81 Field Measurement Campaign. Both the calculation and the observation show that the ozone levels in the GTA are decisively affected by the sea breeze circulation and the nighttime inversion.
