In-Depth Information
Examples of the high resolution integration for all the time slices are presented
in
Fig. 1
for selected species. There is much more local features seen in these
simulations compare to less resolution run (not shown), especially for ozone the
effect of high resolution land use which provides basis for biogenic emission
computation is well pronounced in the concentration fields, even more in summer
(with respect to limited extent not shown again). The development of the impact
on air quality can be seen not only in term of the concentration changes but e.g. in
terms of number of days with exceedance of certain threshold shown in
Fig. 2.
