Abstract
For over two decades, models from EMEP MSC-W1 have been used to aid governments in their design of control strategies to reduce air pollution in Europe. Indeed, EMEP long-range transport models (e.g. Eliassen and Saltbones, 1983) played a key role in even the first UN-ECE2 Protocol on sulphur, signed in Helsinki in 1985. Modelling demonstrated that sulphur could be transported many 100s of km from the source, and was used to quantify the contribution of each country to acid deposition across Europe. The sulphur model developed in this early work has been steadily extended and improved to give today’s EMEP models for acidification, ozone and most recently aerosols.
