(Overview of integrated models, for your information)






A NetFAM/COST action 728 workshop on integration/coupling of meso-meteorological (MM) and chemical transport (ACT) models will be arranged on May 21-23, 2007 at the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI, Lyngbyvej 100), Copenhagen, Denmark. The aim of the workshop is to join numerical weather prediction (NWP) and air quality modellers to discuss and make recommendations on the best practice and strategy for further developments and applications of integrated/coupled modelling systems "NWP & Mesometeorology - Atmospheric Chemical Transport". Main emphasis is on the fine-resolution models applied for local chemical weather forecast and considering feedback mechanisms between meteorological and atmospheric pollution (e.g. aerosols) processes.

Organisers of the workshop welcome interested participants from NWP and air quality consortia. Presentations on the following topics are especially welcome: Note that the workshop is focusing on the MM and ACT model coupling strategy and does not aim to concentrate on the specific topics of modelling the urban atmosphere nor on those of aerosol dynamics.

A keynote lecture on each of the main topics is planned in addition to contributions of the workshop participants. The workshop will start around 11 in the morning of Monday, May the 21st, and end around 13 of Wednesday, May the 23th.
