  1. CLARIS WP4.3 : Continental-scale air Pollution in South America

  2. CLARIS WP4.3: Continental-scale air pollution by South American mega cities Guy Brasseur (MPI) and Carlos Nobre (INPE)(CNRS, INPE, UCH, MPI) • Cooperation between South American and European scientists to assess: • Impact of mega cities on air quality at the sub-continental scale (ex: Sao Paulo and Santiago) • Impact of land-use changes on air quality at the local and regional scale • Relative effects of anthropogenic versus biogenic emissions on atmospheric oxidants and aerosol abundances at the continental scale • Regional climate forcing resulting from changes in aerosols and tropospheric ozone concentrations in the past and in the future

  3. Nesting of Regional Models in Global Chemical-Transport Models • Regional Chemical Transport Models covering the South American continent with high resolution local spots in urban areas should be coupled to a global Chemical Transport Model (MOZART) and run with assimilated wind fields and observed lightning and biomass burning emissions

  22. CLARIS WP4.3 Deliverables • D4.10 (month 12): Implementation of atmospheric chemistry/transport models in South American institutions (“trans-national technology transfer”). • D4.11 (month 18): Joint development (studies/analysis) of detailed emission inventories (natural and anthropogenic compounds) for South America (Exchanges of scientific visitors). • D4.12 (month 24): Joint study/analysis focusing on the evaluation of model simulations and of the impact of environmental policies. • D4.13 (month 36): Training of South American scientists and students at European Institutions for the use of global and regional atmospheric chemical models
