Modelling exercise on scale dependencies M. Schaap, L. Rouill, A. van Pul, A. Graff, H. Fagerli
M. Schaap Fossil Fuel pilot Introduction • Model exercise to: • Assess model performance of CTMs as function of model resolution • Assess robustness of citydelta approach used in EC4MACS
M. Schaap Fossil Fuel pilot Proposed simulations at four resolution LON x LAT ~ Resolution 1.0 x 0.5 ~ 56 Km 0.5 x 0.25 ~ 28 Km 0.25 x 0.125 ~ 14 Km 0.125 x 0.0625 ~ 7 Km
M. Schaap Fossil Fuel pilot Annual model simulations with: • Model choice • Meteorology for 2009 • Land use • Natural emissions, etc • Fixed: • EC4MACS emission totals (modification of TNO-MACC) • INERIS SNAP 2 emission time profile module • EURODELTA time profiles • Emission heights prescribed • EC4MACS domain • Output in netcdf files
