Abstract:Public health institutions need high-resolution next-day forecasts so they can order appropriate measures when there is a risk of air pollution exceeding regulatory thresholds. The MOCAGE model, the chemistry transport model developed by Météo-France, forecasts hourly surface PM10 concentrations at a resolution of 0.1° throughout France (7.6 km). To obtain more efficient forecasts, a downscaling method is applied using topographic data (250 m resolution) and inventory data (2.2 km). All these disparate inputs … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
