Abstract
A new integrated operational air pollution forecast system, the DMU-ATMI THOR, has been developed. The integrated model system consist of a weather forecast model and a series of air pollution models, covering a wide range of scales (European scale, urban background scale and street scale in cities) and applications (forecasting, monitoring and scenarios). The system is designed to automatically produce 3-day air pollution forecasts of some of the most important air pollution species, on different scales and on a continuous basis. The various models, the coupling/integration and the configuration of the models will be described. The model results have been compared to measurements from the Danish rural and urban monitoring networks. Examples of comparisons of model results with measurement are presented in the paper “Validation of Regional and Urban Air Pollution Forecasts” (Brandt et al., this issue).
