Air-stagnation episodes based on regional climate models part I : evaluation over Europe Ghent University
Estimating the impact of climate change and emission scenarios on air pollution can be done using regional climate models (RCMs). Climate uncertainties are commonly estimated using RCM ensembles such as provided by EURO-CORDEX. Despite the strong relations between the weather and air pollutants, interactions are usually complex and require meteorological parameters that are not commonly available for the RCM ensembles. Pollution peaks, however, ...
An optimisation method to improve modelling of wet deposition in atmospheric transport models : applied to FLEXPART v10.4 Ghent University
Wet deposition plays a crucial role in the removal of aerosols from the atmosphere. Yet, large uncertainties remain in its implementation in atmospheric transport models, specifically in the parameterisation schemes that are often used. Recently, a new wet deposition scheme was introduced in FLEXPART. The input parameters for its wet deposition scheme can be altered by the user and may be case-specific. In this paper, a new method is presented ...

Convective rain over the Ethiopian highlands : orographic driving factors in a convection-permitting climate simulation Ghent University
While the Ethiopian highlands constitute over 90% of the population and total area suitable for agriculture, livelihood of 66% of the population depends on subsistence rainfed agriculture. Small rainfall variability could therefore cause massive economic loss. This work aims at understanding the sub daily distribution of average and extreme summer rain over the Ethiopian highlands using the ALARO-0 regional climate model at convection-permitting ...

The summer cooling effect under the projected restoration of Aral Sea in Central Asia Ghent University
The Aral Sea once covered 68 x 103 km(2), but lost 90% of its area during the last decades due to unreasonable water resources utilization. Fortunately, some measures to save the Aral Sea have been proposed. Regional climate model ALARO-SURFEX was applied in dynamic downscaling simulations to quantify the climatic effects generated by increasing greenhousegas (GHG) emissions and the Aral Sea restoration. The results show that performance of ...
