In-Depth Information
the version with corrected high resolution precipitation bug is underestimating
daily variations, and reliability of reproducing some other parameters like AOT40
is not so high. Underestimation of the ozone concentration by the model especially
during warm season appears for most stations of the Central Europe. Basically,
high resolution runs brings slight improvement of the results for most of selected
stations. Problems with emission data could probably account for these deviations
at least partially.
