1 Air pollution and globalisation Øystein Hov Norwegian Meteorological Institute Environmental Prediction into the Next Decade Technical WMO conference Incheon, Republic of Korea 17 November 2009

2 Megacity, Air quality and Climate: Observations and multi-scale Modelling Atmospheric composition analysis and forecasting Environmental impact incl health Regional and urban Air pollution analysis And prediction Global modelling And data assimilation Satellite and In-situ observations Scale bridging

3 Air quality issues – Air quality and health, – acidification, – eutrophication, – UV - enhancement, – surface ozone, – visibility impairment, – ecosystems exposed to toxic substances, – climate change - greenhouse gases and PM/CDNC – climate services – downscaling to high resolution – Emissions - estimation, validation, compliance

12 Anthropogenic sulfur emissions in Europe – from “black” to “grey”

13 Has this reduction affected temperatures over Scandinavia? If so, to what extent? Is this a coincidence, or actual relationship??? From HC Hansson, ITM, SU

15 Changes in NO 2 (from “grey” to “black”) Excellent agreement between SCIAMACHY and GOME-2 measurements Good agreement also with OMI in spite of time difference of measurements => if the same retrieval is used, satellites provide a very consistent picture A.

18 NOx in RCP8.5

19 Air pollution abatement strategies turn cities and regions from ”black” to ”grey” globally in particular outside of the tropics Even though fossil fuel consumption in cities, regions and globally increase as do the CO 2 emissions, the air pollution precursor emissions decline (SO 2, NO x, VOC, PPM) A global change from ”black” and ”white” to ”grey” everywhere in terms of air pollution. Climate change unabated

24 Model result: In Northern mid-latitudes, 35-65% of present-day surface O 3 originates from anthropogenic NO x, CH 4, CO and NMVOCs Assumes no change in biomass burning or soil NO x between 1750 and present Average of 5 model calculations STOCHEM-HadAM3 (Edinburgh), STOCHEM-HadGEM (UKMO), UMCAM (Cambridge), TM4 (KNMI), FR56C (O Wild)
