Abstract: . Tropospheric trace gas and aerosol pollutants have adverse effects on health, environment and climate. In order to quantify and mitigate such effects, a wide range of processes leading to the formation and transport of pollutants must be considered, understood and represented in numerical models. Regional scale pollution episodes result from the combination of several factors: high emissions (from anthropogenic or natural sources), stagnant meteorological conditions, kinetics and efficiency of the chemistry and the deposition. All these processes are highly variable in time and space, and their relative contribution to the pollutants budgets can be quantified with chemistry-transport models. The CHIMERE chemistry-transport model is dedicated to regional atmospheric pollution event studies. Since it has now reached a certain level a maturity, the new stable version, CHIMERE 2013, is described to provide a reference model paper. The successive developments of the model are reviewed on the basis of published investigations that are referenced in order to discuss the scientific choices and to provide an overview of the main results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the existing services at a regional scale and study their applicability to the assessment and forecast of air quality at the urban scale, and evaluated two approaches to characterize urban background pollution levels from the regional operational forecast: Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) and Chemical Transport Model CHIMERE from the national forecast system.

Can biomonitors effectively detect airborne benzo[ a ]pyrene? An evaluation approach using modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the ability of pine needles to act as biomonitoring markers for the atmospheric concentrations of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) was estimated by converting the levels obtained in pine needles into air concentrations by six different approaches, one of them presenting realistic concentrations when compared to the modelled atmospheric values.

Towards the ultimate conservative difference scheme V. A second-order sequel to Godunov's method
TL;DR: In this article, a second-order extension of the Lagrangean method is proposed to integrate the equations of ideal compressible flow, which is based on the integral conservation laws and is dissipative, so that it can be used across shocks.

Sequential data assimilation with a nonlinear quasi-geostrophic model using Monte Carlo methods to forecast error statistics
TL;DR: In this article, a new sequential data assimilation method is proposed based on Monte Carlo methods, a better alternative than solving the traditional and computationally extremely demanding approximate error covariance equation used in the extended Kalman filter.
