12 From global to regional scale
GLEMOS model development From global to regional scale Nested simulations on the new EMEP grid Hg total deposition over the globe (1°×1°) Hg deposition over the new EMEP grid (0.2°×0.2°) To test the model performance in the new EMEP domain we performed pilot simulations of mercury transport with spatial resolution 0.2x0.2 degrees. Boundary conditions for the new domain were calculated with the global version of the model. As you can see the model provides high enough resolution to reproduce spatial variation on national scale.

EMEP HM case study Further steps on Case Study activity with Belarus 1. Case study for Belarus can be used to test approach of pollution level assessment in other countries of the EECCA region. 2. Application of inverse modelling approach. Construct emission scenarios. 3. Cooperation with national experts from other neighboring countries (PL, RU, UA…) and EMEP centres (CCC, CEIP) is needed. Possible extension of modeling domain to include neighboring countries. 4. Pay attention to other pollutants. Compare results for Pb with traditional pollutants (S, N, PM), involving MSC-W. 5. Prepare detailed country-specific information for Belarus with fine spatial resolution: Maps of pollution levels Contributions of foreign and secondary sources Pollution levels in individual regions Contribution of emission source categories Background levels for cities
