EURODELTA Regional Scale Model Intercomparison Exercise

1
EURODELTARegional Scale Model Inter-comparison
Exercise

• Purpose
• provide information about the responses of
  regional-scale dispersion models towards changes
  in emissions,
• to be used for the construction and
  interpretation of source-receptor (SR)
  relationships for integrated assessment models
• produce quantitative information about the
  uncertainties of SR relationships,
• to be used also as an input to the uncertainty
  analysis of integrated assessment models
• deliver boundary conditions for CITY-DELTA II
• contribute to the review of the Unified EMEP
  model organized by TFMM
