The EMEP MSC-W chemical transport model – Part 1: Model description

Abstract: The Meteorological Synthesizing Centre-West (MSC-W) of the European Monitoring and Evaluation Programme (EMEP) has been performing model calculations in support of the Convention on Long Range Transboundary Air Pollution (CLRTAP) for more than 30 yr. The EMEP MSC-W chemical transport model is still one of the key tools within European air pollution policy assessments.

Traditionally, the EMEP model has covered all of Europe with a resolution of about 50 × 50 km2, and extending vertically fro…

“…The latest version can be obtained from https://wiki.met.no/emep/page1/ unimodopensource2011. The model has been documented by Simpson et al (2003) and Simpson et al (2011). It is used to provide the scientific basis to the LRTAP convention, in particular for establishing source-receptor relationships of air pollution, but also for daily chemical weather forecasting within the MACC project.…”

“…Simpson et al, 2003a;Tuovinen et al, 2004), whereas wet deposition uses scavenging coefficients applied to the 3-D rainfall. The model has traditionally been used at 50 × 50 km 2 resolution over Europe, but is flexible with respect to input meteorological data and domain, with applications ranging from 5 × 5 km 2 over the UK (Vieno et al, 2010) to 1 • × 1 • globally (Jonson et al, 2010a, b).…”

“…Furthermore, reactions concerning the aqueous phase production of particulate sulphate have been included. Several of the original photolysis rates as well as rates for inorganic and organic chemistry have been updated with rates from the chemical scheme applied in the EMEP model (Simpson et al, 2003a). The current model version includes 58 gas phase chemical compounds (including NO x , SO x , NMVOC, NH x , CO, etc.)…”

“…Dry deposition is based on the well-known resistance approach, with the DE-PAC parameterization for gases (Wichink Kruit et al, 2012) and the Zhang et al (2001) parameterization for particles. Below-cloud scavenging is described using simple scavenging coefficients for gases (Schaap et al, 2004a) and particles (Simpson et al, 2003). Total PM 10 in the LOTOS-EUROS model is composed of chemically unspecified primarily PM in the fine (PPM2.5) and coarse mode (PPMCO), black carbon (BC), dust, ammonium (NH ) and sea salt (Na in the fine and coarse mode).…”
