iSGTW Image of the Week - Forecasting air quality with CHIMERE

Image of the Week - Forecasting air quality with CHIMERESurface concentrations of particulates 10 micrometers or less, simulated with CHIMERE-aerosols.Image courtesy of CHIMERE.Using CHIMERE scientists make daily forecasts of ozone, aerosols and other pollutants and produces long-term simulations for emission control scenarios. It can run forecasts at a regional scale (several thousand kilometers) or at an urban scale (100-200 kilometers) and can run simulations for days, seasons or years. The CHIMERE model is copyrighted by the Piere-Simon Laplace Institute. To learn more visit the CHIMERE Web site. CHIMERE uses the framework of the PREVAIR operational system at the Ineris research institute in France.
