Tore Flatlandsmo Berglen EACE workshop June 2007 ● OsloCTM2 model description ● Overview of chemical modules ● Results and discussion; a focus on Asia. Gases and aerosols ● Summary and conclusion Outline
Tore Flatlandsmo Berglen EACE workshop June °×1° is a very fine resolution for a global model, we approach a spatial scale previously known from regional models. Advantage: avoid noise from boundary conditions. May perform regional AND global studies using the same model runs. OsloCTM2 has the most important gas and aerosol processes included. May study both air quality AND climate issues. What is the main improvement??
