1999 Modelling Urban Aerosols Saturn99
Summary The EPAs Models3 aerosol module was incorporated into MUSE the three-dimensional photochemical dispersion model of ZEUS so as to study the dispersion of primary and secondary particles in urban atmospheres. The aerosol module was coupled with a simple gas chemistry scheme of HNO3 and H2SO4 formation. The size distribution of the particles was assumed to have three lognormal modes with variable mean diameter and constant standard deviation. In order to examine its performance, the model was applied to simulate aerosol pollution during a summer day in Thessaloniki, Greece.
The size distribution is described by 3 log-normal modes Particulate phase passive species: EC (fine), Sea salt (coarse), Soil dust (coarse), Other primary (coarse & fine)
