Air quality impacts of European wildfire emissions in a changing climate
Wildfires are not only a threat to human property and a vital element of many ecosystems, but also an important source of air pollution. In this study, we first review the available evidence for a past or possible future climate-driven increase in wildfire emissions in Europe. We then introduce an ensemble of model simulations with a coupled wildfire– dynamic-ecosystem model, which we combine w...
متن کاملInteractive comment on “Wildfire particulate matter in Europe during summer 2003: meso-scale modeling of smoke emissions, transport and radiative effects” by A. Hodzic et al
General Comment: This paper describes the effect of wildfire particulate matter on air quality over a large part of Europe in 2003. It uses MODIS daily smoke emission inventory and a simple parameterization of injection altitude to prescribe the wildfire emissions in a meso-scale chemistry transport model. The authors conclude that the wildfire resulted in a significant enhancement of PM10 grou...
متن کاملWildfire particulate matter in Europe during summer 2003: meso-scale modeling of smoke emissions, transport and radiative effects
The present study investigates effects of wildfire emissions on air quality in Europe during an intense fire season that occurred in summer 2003. A meso-scale chemistry transport model CHIMERE is used, together with ground based and satellite aerosol optical measurements, to assess the dispersion of fire emissions and to quantify the associated radiative effects. The model has been improved to ...
متن کاملRole of passenger cars and taxies in air pollution of Tehran, Iran
Air Pollution is one of the significant problems in Tehran. Understanding the role of different sources can result in better decision-making. Some pollutions are not emitted directly from sources and are present in the atmosphere due to chemical reactions. Therefore, using air quality modeling can be beneficial to our understanding of these phenomena. An air quality modeling system was used fir...
متن کاملThe contribution from shipping emissions to air quality and acid deposition in Europe.
A global three-dimensional Lagrangian chemistry-transport model STOCHEM is used to describe the European regional acid deposition and ozone air quality impacts along the Atlantic Ocean seaboard of Europe, from the SO2, NOx, VOCs and CO emissions from international shipping under conditions appropriate to the year 2000. Model-derived total sulfur deposition from international shipping reaches ov...
