To this end, the Community MultiscaleAir Quality (CMAQ) modelling system developed by the United States Environmental ProtectionAgency (US EPA) and the PSU/NCAR mesoscale modelling system MM5 are coupled to a newemission model, the Numerical Emission Model for Air Quality (MNEQA). The outputs of themodelling system for the period from May to October 2008 are compared with ozone measure-ments at selected air-monitoring stations belonging to the Catalan Government. Results indicatea good behaviour of the model in reproducing diurnal ozone concentrations, as statistical valuesfall within the EPA and EU regulatory frameworks.13 p.application/pdfengcc-by (c) Arasa Agudo, Raúl et al., 2010http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/esQualitat de l'aireOzó atmosfèricCatalunyaAir qualityAtmospheric ozoneCataloniainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article5797322020-10-29info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
