  1. Nesting GEOS-CHEM with a regional air pollution model for Greece Maria Tombrou, Elissavet Bossioli, Anna Protonotariou, Elena Flocas and Aggeliki Dandou University of Athens Christos Giannakopoulos National Observatory of Athens 1

  2. What we Know • Critical factors for high levels of photochemical pollutants in the GAA: • poor ventilation • frequent appearance of the sea breeze • intense solar irradiation • intense anthropogenic activities • The long range transport of ozone precursors, from the Western European continent over the Eastern Mediterranean, contributes significantly in high ozone concentrations. What we don’t know • It is unclearyet which mechanism contributes the most • the reasons for underestimating ozone concentration during episodes 2

  3. Emission inventory (point sources)SO2 (moles/h) 3

  4. Emission inventory (area anthropogenic) NOX (moles/h/4km2) 4

  5. Emission inventory (biogenic) Isoprene (kg/h/36km2) Terpenes (kg/h/36km2) 5

  6. Numerical experiments (MM5/UAM) • Base case: only anthropogenic emissions • Numerical experiments: • Biogenic emissions • VOC’s speciation in urban areas and aged plumes • Background O3 concentration levels • Various sets of meteorological fields (different nesting, urban sector effects on the wind speed and diffusion coefficient, increase the depth of first layer) 6

  13. Future work • Develop the nesting capability for the Mediterranean region (1ox1o) • Insert EMEP emissions over Europe and the new inventory of Greece (at the appropriate levels) • Link GEOS-CHEM with CAMx; UAM • Perform O3 sensitivity runs 13
