3. Institute for Environment and Sustainability3 POMI : Overview (I) Objectives –Analyse the effectiveness of regional emission abatement measures on air quality within the Po-Valley (in particular over the Lombardy region) for different time horizons (2010 2020). Investigate the added value of regional.vs. European scale measures. –Use of the ENSEMBLE approach for a more robust response and for uncertainty estimate –Assess the modelling uncertainty associated to different factors, e.g. scale, resolution, emissions, boundary conditions, meteorology, … –Use the most updated information to feed AQ models (e.g. emissions) Modelling groups –Contracts: CHIMERE, CAMx, EMEP, AURORA & RCG –JRC, TCAM, (FARM?) –Participation of other groups is welcome with flexibility on time period & modelling domains
