Assessment of High-resolution Local Emissions and Land-use in Air Quality Forecasting at an Urban, Coastal, Desert Environment by Christos Fountoukis (4722963)

“…The model’s forecast accuracy was assessed against measurement data from five ground air quality monitoring stations in the greater metropolitan area of Doha over a one-month period. The footprint of the Doha metropolitan area on the geographical distribution of the anthropogenic emissions is much more realistically represented in the new version of emissions, which includes major differences in the magnitude of emission rates, locally, compared to the base case. …”
