Zusammenfassung |
In the scope of the AQMEII Phase 1 project the GEM-AQ model was run over Europe for the year
2006. The modelling domain was defined using a global variable resolution grid with a rotated
equator and uniform resolution of 0.2° × 0.2° over the European
continent. Spatial distribution and temporal variability of the GEM-AQ model results were analysed
for surface ozone and PM10 concentrations. Model results were compared with measurements
available in the ENSEMBLE database. Statistical measures were used to evaluate performance of the
GEM-AQ model. The mean bias error, the mean absolute gross error and the Pearson correlation
coefficient were calculated for the maximum 8 h running average ozone concentrations and daily
mean PM10 concentrations. The GEM-AQ model performance was characterized for station
types, European climatic regions and seasons. The best performance for ozone was obtained at
suburban stations, and the worst performance was obtained for rural stations where the model tends
to underestimate. The best results for PM10 were calculated for urban stations, while
over most of Europe concentrations at rural sites were too high. Discrepancies between modelled
and observed concentrations were discussed in the context of emission data uncertainty as well as
the impact of large-scale dynamics and circulation of air masses. Presented analyses suggest that
interpretation of modelling results is enhanced when regional climate characteristics are taken
into consideration. |
