Projects
| HoTC | Development of methods to improve the temporal and spatial resolution of sector-specific greenhouse gas emissions for CO2 (energy production, domestic heating) and CH4 (agriculture, waste management) based on Copernicus data. Preparation of a dynamic emission data set for CO2 and CH4. |
| MOSAIK 2 | Improvement and extension of chemistry module in the PALM model system, which we have developed and implemented in MOSAIK project phase 1. The focus is on an enhanced aerosol description, the extension of emissions description, options and handling for use in idealized studies and the implementation of wet deposition processes. |
| PINETI IV | Continuation of the time series for nitrogen and sulfur deposition from the previous projects PINETI I-III for the years 2015-2018. Further development of the LOTOS-EUROS model by enabling a higher resolution using meteorological forcing data from the ICON model. |
