Characteristic scales of transport and transformation of air pollutants - possible impacts on climate

Abstract

The main purpose of this work has been the study of the production, transformation and transport processes of atmospheric pollutants in the Mediterranean Region. This region is considered a key-sensitive area due to the unique climatic and air quality characteristics associated with the regional climatic patterns, the geomorphology and the coexistence of pollutants from different origin. The Mediterranean Region including the Saharan desert and important part of Europe is very often influenced by high levels of desert dust, long-range transport of pollutants from Europe and intense photochemical activity, leading to atmospheric pollutant concentrations higher than the imposed EU limit values. The processes occurring along the characteristic paths of transport, the production of various generations of pollutants and the role of mineral dust and sea-salt are under consideration in this study. The modeling tools have been revised accordingly by the development and improvement of several p ...
