Evolution and transport of pollutants over a Mediterranean coastal area: The influence of biogenic volatile organic compound emissions on ozone concentrations

A computational simulation of a typical sea-breeze situation and the transport and evolution of photochemical pollutants on the Spanish east coast is performed, and the influence of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions on the ozone concentrations formed is studied. The detailed land c...

Description
Summary:A computational simulation of a typical sea-breeze situation and the transport and evolution of photochemical pollutants on the Spanish east coast is performed, and the influence of biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emissions on the ozone concentrations formed is studied. The detailed land cover patterns and the topography of the area have been taken into account with the aid of a geographical information system.
