Evaluation of Emissions and Emission Factors

  • Chapter
Tropospheric Modelling and Emission Estimation

Summary

The EURAD model has been applied to a summer smog episode in July/August 1990. The transport, chemical transformation and deposition of atmospheric constituents for that episode have been calculated. Emission data estimated by GENEMIS have been used to replace the standard scheme of the EURAD emission model EEM which is based mainly on annual EMEP data. The model simulations are analysed with respect to the differences in model results due to the application of these two different emission data sets. The aim is to improve the results of the EURAD modelling system with reliable emissions of high temporal resolution including detailed information on regional patterns and the composition of anthropogenic and biogenic hydrocarbons.

including a contribution for the assessment of the measurements by R. Friedrich and C. John
