A Lagrangian long-range transport model with atmospheric boundary layer chemistry ( Scandinavia).

Abstract

Reports on the combination of a chemical model for the gas phase chemistry of the atmospheric boundary layer, with a Lagrangian model for the long-range transport of air pollutants. The resulting combined chemistry/transport model is applied in a case study where polluted air is transported toward Scandinavia. Calculations show good agreement with measured ozone concentrations, and strongly suggest that the measured ozone concentrations cannot be due to Scandinavian precursor emissions alone. -from Authors
