COST728 WG2 report
(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:
- Online and offline coupling of meteorological and air quality models
- Implementation of feedback mechanisms, direct and indirect effects of aerosols
- Advanced interfaces between NWP and ACT models
- Model validation studies, including air quality-related episode cases
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.
