Regional climate-air quality interactions (REQUA)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2017,

"Air quality is strongly dependent on weather and is therefore sensitive to climate variability and climate change. On the other hand, air pollution affects the atmospheric composition which in turn affects the earth's radiative budget and the earth's climate. Hence the climate and the air quality are intimately interactive parts of the earth's system and the feedbacks between them can act to ampl ...

Promote Air Quality Services integrating Observations – Development Of Basic Localised Information for Europe (PASODOBLE)

Start date: May 1, 2010, End date: Apr 30, 2013,

"Air quality is a crucial environmental factor, e.g. evidenced by the fact that particles in the air are estimated to reduce the lifetime of the average European citizen by 8 months. Assessing and monitoring air quality are thus fundamental to improve Europe’s welfare. PASODOBLE will develop and demonstrate user-driven downstream information services for the public, regional and local air quality ...
