2007 MACC Air Quality Report

The service MACC/R-EVA service (http://www.gmes-atmosphere.eu/services/raq/raq_reanalysis/) provides a posteriori validated air quality assessments for Europe, based on re-analysed air pollutant concentration fields. Simulations of past years are performed with the MACC chemistry-transport models and "corrected" thanks to the assimilation of available validated in-situ and satellite observations. By the end of the MACC I project, operational production of such information should be implemented for the years 2007-2009. The so-called MACC regional air quality assessment reports should describe, with a yearly frequency, the state and the evolution of background concentrations of air pollutants in European countries. Special attention is given to pollutants characterised by the influence of long range transport, correctly caught by European scale modelling: ozone, nitrogen dioxide, particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5). Focus on specific pollution episodes that happened during the year will be considered.
