originate from a number of factors including the absence of biogenic emissions,
various activity data, temporal and chemical profiles and emission factors used in
development of the high resolution emission inventory for Istanbul.
4. Conclusions
A high resolution MM5/CMAQ air quality modeling system was used for
simulating ozone concentrations for Istanbul for a 10-day period in June 2008.
From the study we can conclude that these results demonstrate applicability of
using MM5-CMAQ modeling system for air quality simulations in Istanbul.
Furthermore, there were a number of limitations and that the work is ongoing; the
system produced agreeable results for the ozone levels in the region. For the future
studies, the biogenic emissions are going to be implemented to the system. On the
other hand, sensitivity analyses are to be done.
