Development and Evaluation of Land-Use Regression Models Using Modeled Air Quality Concentrations

Abstract

This 759-page book in English titled "Air Pollution Modeling and its Application XXI" is a volume in "NATO Science for Peace and Security Series". The book contains 124 individually authored chapters. Each chapter contains a list of references. Specific topics discussed include atmospheric modeling under urban land use changes, using a coupled meteorological and chemical transport modeling scheme to evaluate the impact of the aerosol direct effect on pollutant concentration fields in Paris, a new method for buoyant plume rise computation in Lagrangian particle models, air quality modeling and source apportionment studies for aerosols in Switzerland, the urban impact on the regional climate of Dresden, measuring and modeling wet deposition in the Netherlands and Europe, episodic high surface ozone in central Japan in warm season, changes in sulfur and nitrogen deposition in Poland due to domestic and European emission abatement, sea-salt aerosol forecasts compared with wave height and sea-salt measurements in the open sea, data assimilation and air quality forecasting, model assessment and verification, interactions between air quality and climate change, the potential of biofumigation in solving air pollution in developing countries. This book will be of use to those interested in air pollution management, computational modeling.
