Nitrogen and Sulphur Deposition on regional and global scales: a multi-model evaluation

We use 23 atmospheric chemistry transport models to calculate current and future (2030) deposition of reactive nitrogen (NOy, NHx) and sulfate (SOx) to land and ocean surfaces. The models are driven by three emission scenarios: (1) current air quality legi ...

Why Europe will never have accountability in research

Christopher Tucci

Europeans can generate great fervor for the idea that research must be “accountable”. But there are at least three powerful, structural reasons that arriving at a shared notion of who is accountable, to whom, and for what, will be particularly difficult to ...

Long-Range Transport to Europe : Seasonal Variations and Implications for the European Ozone Budget

Isabelle Bey, Marion Auvray

We use a chemical transport model (GEOS-CHEM) to quantify the contribution of long-range transported pollution to the European ozone ({O}{3}) budget for the year 1997. The model reproduces the main features observed over Europe for {O}{3}, carbon monoxid ...
