Subjects

  • WP 2: Influence of Anthropogenic heat on simulated urban mesoscale meteorology (Ursula Bungert, Heinke Schlünzen) 
  • WP 5: Chemical Transport Modeling (Ole Roß, David Grawe, Malte Uphoff, Heinke Schlünzen) The M-SYS model METRAS with the Chemical Transport code MECTM will be applied for Europe and with higher resolution for the Rhine Ruhr region and Paris 
  • WP 7: Joint Evaluation framework and integrated tools for Megacity air quality and climate impact assessment (Heinke Schlünzen, Ole Roß) 
  • WP 8: Institute for Geography, Jürgen Oßenbrügge Various pathways of urban development in megacities are investigated and consequences for future emission scenarios are shown.
