Abstract

The purpose of this work was to assess the influence of emission data on CHIMERE, by means of the study of episodic ozone levels in 2007 at Galicia (NW of Spain). As input data to the simulations both EMEP emissions inventory data and a detailed bottom-up inventory for the EMEP (51,14) grid cell were applied, in order to compare their impact in the air quality results.
