This report describes the physical processes as part of the Land-Surface Scheme (LSS) in the Rossby Centre Regional Atmospheric Climate Model (RCA3). The LSS is a tiled scheme with the three main tiles with respect to temperature: forest, open land, and snow. The open land tile is divided into a …

This report describes a new internet tool for evaluation of air quality in residential areas with small scale wood-combustion. The work has been sponsored by the Swedish Energy Agency and the internet tool is called VEDAIR. The background is a four-year’s research program (2001-2004) called Biomass …

In order to investigate the effects of climate change on air quality in Europe, we have utilised the regional CTM (chemistry and transport model) MATCH, forced by meteorology representing future climate conditions but keeping the emissions at their current value. The meteorology is from RCA3, the …

This report presents the procedure for creation of surface global radiation and CIE-weighted UVradiation for the years 1980-2000. The work was ordered by the Swedish Radiation Protection Authority (SSI) on behalf of “Miljömålsrådet”. The created data covers a large geographical area over northwest …

The goals of this study are to compare the MSG SEVIRI and PPS AVHRR monthly mean cloud products of the CM-SAF. The study was done in two parts: first comparing the cloud mask products and then comparing the cloud top temperature and height products. This was done over a region from Greenland to …

A new Polar Platform Systems (PPS) Cloud Mask (CM) test sequence is required for improving cloud detection during Arctic winter conditions. This study introduces a test sequence, called Ice Night Sea (INS), that to a greater extent successfully detects clouds over ice surfaces and which is less …

SIMAIRrwc is a Web based evaluation tool for meeting the EU directive on air pollution limits in residential areas using wood combustion. The background is a four-year research program (2001-2004) called Biomass Combustion Health and Environment. Some conclusions from this program were that …

I det nya EU-direktivet för luftkvalitet definieras ett exponeringskoncentrationstak för PM2.5. Detta takvärde, som inte får överskridas efter år 2015, är satt till 20 μg/m3 som årsmedelvärde. Eftersom även lägre halter påverkar människors hälsa negativt införs även ett exponeringsminskningsmål av …

Syftet med denna undersökning är att utreda dubbdäckens påverkan på emissioner och halter av PM10 i samtliga av Vägverkets regioner. Eftersom halterna är starkt påverkade av trafikmiljöernas utformning och trafiken, har beräkningar valts att utföras för 25 olika gaturum med indata av god kvalitet, …

We have compared monthly mean cloud and radiation fields from the EUMETSAT Climate Monitoring SAF (CM-SAF, http://www.cmsaf.eu) data base with the clouds and radiation simulated by the Rossby Centre regional climate model (RCA) and by the European Centre Medium range Weather Forecast model (ECMWF) …
