Project Abstract
Activities for the Research Fellow will include the parallel application of deterministic and statistical modelling to produce an air quality forecast model for Ireland at local, regional and national levels for the pollutants outlined in the CAFE Directive, particularly targeting NOx, PM10,2.5 and O3. The aim is that the model will be implemented to anticipate pollution episodes, to aid local and regional air quality management and for further research into population exposure. The initial stages of the research work will involve a detailed literature review which will be defined by the concept of modelling air quality on a local to national/European scale. Individual selected models will be assessed for applicability to Ireland through model validation studies and comparison with monitoring data.
