LOTOS-EUROS Sample Clauses

LOTOS-EUROS background information‌ 3.1 Forward model‌ The LOTOS-EUROS model is a 3D chemistry transport model aimed to simulate air pollution in the lower troposphere. The model has been used for the assessment of particulate air pollution in a number of studies directed to total PM10 (Xxxxx et al. 2008, Xxxxxxx et al. 2009, van Zelm et al. 2008), secondary inorganic components (Xxxxx et al. 2008, Xxxxxx et al. 2004b, Xxxxxxx et al., 2004), primary carbonaceous components (Xxxxxx et al. 2004a, Xxxxxx and xxx xxx Xxx 2007) and trace metals (Denier van der Gon et al., 2008). The model has participated frequently in international model comparisons addressing ozone (Xxxx et al. 1997, xxx Xxxx et al. 2007) and particulate matter (Cuvelier et al. 2007, Xxxx et al. 2003, Xxxxx et al. 2008, Xxxxxx et al., 2009). For a detailed description of the model we refer to these studies. Here, we describe the model set-up used in MACC.
