Abstract
The strategy for developing new-generation integrated Meso-Meteorological (MetM) and Atmospheric Chemical Transport Model (CTM) systems is discussed and an overview of the European COST728 (http://www.cost728.org) integrated systems is given. Advantages and disadvantages of on-line integration versus the more common off-line coupling of MetMs and CTMs are mentioned using DMI-ENVIRO-HIRLAM (HIgh Resolution Limited Area Model) as a specific example. Current progress in the DMI-ENVIRO-HIRLAM system development and its urban on-line coupled modelling applications are considered. Several sensitivity tests of off-line versus on-line coupling in DMI-ENVIRO-HIRLAM as well as verification versus the ETEX experiment are considered, and results are discussed.
