Conferences

14–18 May 2018, THE LORD ELGIN HOTEL, Ottawa, Canada
ITM 2018

Key Topics

  1. Regional and intercontinental modelling

Including observational and modelling of historic trends, current and future scenarios, and impacts on meeting and maintaining air quality standards

  1. Local and urban scale modelling

Including the effects of building wakes, street canyons, urban canopy, urban energy balance, urban development scenarios, (green) urban infrastructures; megacities

  1. Modelling and processing of emissions

Including emissions from ships, aircrafts, forest fires, agriculture, sea salt, … ; long term emission projections related to climate change

  1. Data assimilation and air quality forecasting

Including new research focusing on combining ground- and satellite- based observations with model outputs in creating high-resolution spatial maps of air quality, use of data assimilation techniques to identify measurement needs and in network design; pilots and demonstrations

  1. Model assessment and verification

Including performance evaluation, diagnostic evaluation, dynamical evaluation and probabilistic evaluation as part of comparison of model outputs with observations

  1. Aerosols in the atmosphere

Aerosol dynamics, aerosol formation, interaction with multiphase chemistry, aerosol-cloud interactions

  1. Modelling air pollution in a changing climate

Interaction between air pollution and climate: effects of air pollution on climate and the impact of changing climate on future air quality.

  1. Air quality effects on human health and ecology

Including integrated and multimedia modelling, air quality trend assessments, the effects of regulatory programs on ambient air quality and human exposure
