Regional Coupling of Ecosystem-Atmosphere Processes: Results

Below you can find some final and intermediate results from selected projects:

  Mixing-layer height: Obtained from SODAR, ceilometer and RASS measurements.
  Urban heat island: Adaptation and mitigation studies based on simulations with an urbanised version of WRF/Chem.
  Volcanic ash clouds: Ceilometer observations and numerical modelling of the dispersion of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud.
  Atmospheric turbulence: Analysis and parameterisation in models for onshore and marine atmospheric boundary layers.
  Aerosol-meteorology feedback: Simulations with WRF/Chem to investigate the impact of aerosol on radiation and cloud formation in Europe.
  Climate Change impact: Reginal climate-chemistry scenario simulations for ozone concentrations in Southern Germany.
  Alpine air quality: Measurements and modelling of air quality in the upper Inn valley as part of an integrated approach.
  Air quality modelling: Air quality simulations for Munich.
  Biogenic volatile organic compounds: Modelling of BVOC degradation within forest canopies.
  Biogenic volatile organic compounds: Effect of different isoprene chemistry mechanisms on regional air quality simulations.
  Aircraft and airport emissions: The influence of aircraft emissions upon airport air quality were studied (NO2, NO, CO, VOC, PM).
  Air quality and ABL structure: The impact of the vertical structure of the atmospheric boundary layer structure on air quality is studied from statistical correlations.
  Inverse dispersion modelling: Improvement of non-intrusive measurement methods for the determination of emission rates from non-accessible sites.
  Up-scaling of greenhouse gas fluxes: Development of measurement and analysis techniques for the assessment of exchange fluxes between the soil and the atmosphere at a spatial scale of several tens of metres.
