  1. Air Pollution Modeling and its Application XXVIII

About this book

This book states that current developments in air pollution modeling are explored as a series of contributions from researchers at the forefront of their field. This newest contribution on air pollution modeling and its application is focused on local, urban, regional and intercontinental modeling; long-term modeling and trend analysis; data assimilation and air quality forecasting; model assessment and evaluation; aerosol transformation. Additionally, this work also examines the relationship between air quality and human health and the effects of climate change on air quality.

This work is a collection of selected papers presented at the 38th International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modeling and its Application, held in Barcelona, Spain, Oct 18–22, 2021.

The book is intended as reference material for students and professors interested in air pollution modeling at the graduate level as well as researchers and professionals involved in developing and utilizing air pollution models.

About the editors

Professor Clemens Mensink is head of the environmental modelling unit at VITO in Belgium. The unit employs over 100 researchers, ICT professionals  and technicians. It develops, improves and implements methodologies and computer models to estimate the impact of human activities on air, climate, water and soil quality in a spatial context.  Clemens received his PhD (1992) and a post graduate degree (1988) in fluid dynamics from the Von Karman Institute in Belgium. He studied chemical engineering, fluid mechanics and numerical mathematics, and received his MSc (1987) in mechanical engineering from University of Twente in the Netherlands. In 1998 he received the ENERO prize. Clemens is currently president of the International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and its Applications. He is an expert in air pollution modelling and author of more than 80 peer-reviewed publications in international journals. He is professor atmospheric modelling at Ghent University in Belgium.

Dr. Oriol Jorba is Co-Group leader of the Atmospheric Composition group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center in Spain. Oriol holds a PhD degree in Environmental Engineering (2005) from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in Spain. His research expertise includes high resolution air pollution modeling, development of online meteorology-chemistry models, atmospheric chemistry studies and environmental impact assessment. He has lead the research project on the development of the multiscale chemical weather forecasting system MONARCH at BSC which provides operational forecasts for the Barcelona Dust Regional Center of the World Meteorological Organization and the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service. He is part of the International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and its Application (ITM) scientific committee since 2012 and the steering committee of the international project Monitoring, Analysis and Prediction of Air Quality (MAP-AQ)sponsored by WMO and IGAC since 2020. He has contributed to multiple European and national research projects and is author of more than 80 peer-reviewed publications in international scientific journals.
