FUMAPEX. Improved UAQIFSs implemented and applied in the target cities.

Abstract

The major goal of the FUMAPEX project has been to improve the performance of Urban Air Quality Information and Forecasting Systems (UAQIFS) presently applied in various urban areas in Europe. The scientific focus has been on improving the meteorological forecast data that are applied as input to the UAQIFS. The scientific improvements have subsequently been demonstrated in six European target cities as part of the project. The demonstration activity was defined as a separate Work Package (WP8) within FUMAPEX. The present report (deliverable 8.2) gives a detailed technical description of each of the six target city UAQIFSs. i.e. Oslo (Norway), Helsinki (Finland), the Castellon/Valencia region (Spain), Turin (Italy), Bologna (Italy), and Copenhagen (Denmark).
