Air Pollution Modelling: Local-, Regional-, and Global-Scale Application

Dear Colleagues,

Air pollution problem is inevitably accompanied to our human activities. Severe air pollution situations have been reported especially in emerging countries, and satisfying the air quality standards fully have been still underlying issues. Today, modeling researches is one of the valuable approaches to promote our understanding on the behavior of air pollutants and to be used as regulatory, policy, and environmental decision makings. Such a modeling application range with regard to horizontal grid resolution varied from a few km (local) to hundreds of km (regional) to thousands of km (global).

To foster our current scientific knowledge on modeling potentialities and limitations, we would like to call scientific papers related to air pollution modeling applied for urban-, regional-, and global-scale on this special issue in the journal of Atmosphere. By collecting devoted papers, this theme seeks the future strategies for modeling researches across multi-scales. Modeling is not limited on the Eulerian and Lagrangian models, and other modeling techniques (e.g., box model, receptor model) are welcome. The online-coupled chemical transport model integrated with meteorological model will also contribute to this special issue. This topic would represent a notable contribution to this important scientific field.
