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.
