1 A European Network for an Environmentally Compatible Air Transport System (ECATS) University of Athens’ contribution Contact: Professor Costas Helmis Airports affect strongly local air quality. Aviation emits pollutants at atmospheric layers characterized by low concentrations and large residence times. Moreover, aviation produces clouds (condensation trails) and affects natural clouds. Three Thematic Areas of interest are defined in the frame of ECATS: (1) Airport Air Quality, (2) Engine Emissions & (3) Green flights and scenarios Interpret and study data derived from the ECATS airport campaigns Use ECATS data for modeling purposes, incl. model improvements and coupling Study the effect of aviation on cirrus coverage, conduct capability Gap Analysis Disseminate capabilities and expertise of ECATS partners related to AAQ monitoring and modeling and knowledge of the airport operators’ needs

IHU Megacities: The MEGAPOLI project ( ) Megacities: Emissions, urban, regional and Global Atmospheric POLlution and climate effects, and Integrated tools for assessment and mitigation “Brings together over 20 partners specializing in urban air quality and population exposure forecast and control, regional and global atmospheric pollution, and meteorological and climate research” Main objectives:  To assess impacts of megacities and large air-pollution hot-spots on local, regional and global air quality  To quantify feedbacks among megacity air quality, local and regional climate, and global climate change  To develop improved integrated tools for prediction of air pollution in megacities. In collaboration with the WMO/GAW GURME project, with major US components

 Air Quality Engineering  Laboratory and field measurements  Chemical transport modeling  Climate Change  Development of coupled General Circulation- Chemical Transport Models  Effects of particulate matter on climate (direct and indirect effects)  Air Quality-Climate Interactions University of Patras & Inst. of Chemical Engineering (ICE/FORTH) (Group Leader: Spyros Pandis) University of Patras Contact:

Pan-European Gas-Aerosol Climate Interactions Study PEGASOS FP7 Large Scale (12 M€) Integrated Project (25 Groups- 16 Countries) led by ICE-FORTH in Patras ( ) PEGASOS will: Quantify the magnitude of regional to global feedbacks between atmospheric chemistry and a changing climate. Identify mitigation strategies and policies to improve air quality in Europe while limiting their impact on climate change.

IHU Possible next steps Coordinate exchanges of scientists. Interlink networks. Define collaborative research with the participation of Greek and US groups. Involve US instructors in Master programs offered in Greece. Setup a task force to do all this, starting with an inventory of active groups. Expand to other areas.
