1. Fonds européen de développement régional (FEDER) Common platform for air quality assessment and information in the Upper Rhine Valley Plate-forme commune d’évaluation et d’information sur la qualité de l’air dans la vallée du Rhin Supérieur

2. INTERREG III (2001 – 2005) Part I : Common air quality information system Part II : Common emission inventory Part III : Common modelisation platform Daily air quality indexes Daily and annual maps on air quality Air quality index daily forecast Regional primary data Design of several emission software tools Elaboration of emission reduction scenarii Other studies : speciation of PM and NMVOC Measurement campaign Design of a common modelisation platform Validation of the models with IOPs Common daily forecast with the platform Scenarii studies with the platform A common air quality assessment and information system in the Upper Rhine Valley

3. Part 1 : common information system Bilingual website presenting daily data of german, french and swiss air quality networks in the Upper Rhine Region Interpolated map of NO2 concentrations – 2005 March 16 12:00 Map of air quality indexes – 2005 March 11 09:00 http://www.umeg.de/messwerte/ir3web/

4. Part 2 : common emission inventory Development of tools to update the emissions on the scale of the Upper Rhine Database EMISS’AIR Hourly kilometric land register Primary data Transborder inventory Development of a tool to integrate the emissions data into a common database Development of a tool to distribute the emissions per km 2, per hour and per specie German and Swiss inventories Collecting data CONIF’AIR, CIRCUL’AIR ManagAir

5. The CONIF’AIR and CIRCUL’AIR tools Cartography species settlement Land Use Land registered Emissions Weather Emission factors biomass Database CONIF’AIR : Biogenic EmissionsCIRCUL’AIR : Road transport Emissions Cars Counting Linear Emissions Roads characteristics

6. Emission cadaster : the ManagAir tool Temporal distribution Emission cadaster Ponctual sources Linear sources Surfacic sources NMVOC and PM speciation from CITEPA et IER (2004) Land use -gas -aerosol

7. Part 3 : common modelisation platform Chemical modelisation : 4 square kilometer Resolution grid Chemical boundary conditions : Meteorological modelisation : MM5 12x12 and 4x4 kilometer resolution grids Meteorological boundary conditions : NCEP

8. Measuring campaign : May - June 2003 Data Exploitation FTP

9. Modelisation of IOPs Collect and analysis of IOPs data 3 Juin 2003FVM + TAPOM (max)MM5 + CHIMERE (16h) Simulation of IOPs with : - METPHOMOD, - FVM+TAPOM, - MM5+CHIMERE Cooperation with the EPFL and with ACRI-ST IOP 1 : 3rd to 5th june 2003 IOP 2 : 10th to 12th june 2003

10. Air quality forecast with the platform

11. Scenarii study with the platform  2000 Base : Reference scenario based on the transboundary emission inventory of 2000  2000 Urg : Application of Emergency Measures listed in the Circular of the 18th june 2004  2020 Fil : « Fil de l’eau » long term scenario  2020 Env : Environmental long term scenario 1  Definition of measures included in the different scenarii 2  Assessment of the impact of measures on emissions 3  Integration of emission in the CHIMERE-ACRI platform 4  Running the CHIMERE-ACRI model 5  Interpretation of results, analysis of measure’s efficiency Emissions Modelisation Scenario « 2000 Urg » : variation of VOC emissions Reference scenario : anthropic VOCs ManagAir
