Ten state-of-the-science regional air quality (AQ) modeling systems have been applied to continental-scale domains in North America and Europe for full-year simulations of 2006 for the Air Quality Model Evaluation International Initiative (AQMEII), whose main goals are model inter-comparison and model evaluation. Model simulations are inter-compared and evaluated with a large set of observations for ground-level particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and its chemical components. Analyses of PM10 time series show a large model underestimation throughout the year. Moreover, a large variability among models in predictions of emissions, deposition, and concentration of PM and its precursors has been found. © Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2014.
