High resolution environmental modelling and evaluation programme for Croatia (EMEP4HR)

The EMEP4HR project, its main objectives, and methodology is presented. It is a joint project of Norwegian and Croatian meteorological services, University of Zagreb and EKONERG institute that started in 2006, and is due to last until 2010. The main purpose of this project is to develop and test an operative framework for environmental control of air pollution problems in Croatia. The project will allow for a stable long-term development of Croatia's scientific capacity to support the design of environmental protection strategies. In particular, the main objectives of this project involve: -the development of high resolution emission inventories of air pollutants in Croatia and in selected urban areas -the implementation and further development of a mesoscale version of the Eulerian EMEP Unified chemical transport model coupled with ALADIN and WRF NWP models -the development of a new capability for the assessment of urban air quality in main Croatian cities -the evaluation and testing of the new modeling capability according to international standards This project will allow Croatian experts to produce their own assessments of air quality at national and at urban level, evaluate the national consequences of proposed international environmental control options, analyze the effect of future emission scenarios and identify new instruments for implementation of the air quality standards in Croatia. The research work will be carried out as a contribution to the UNECE Convention on Long-Range Transboundary Air Pollution and will facilitate the integration of Croatia to conform with European Community air quality regulations.
