Parameterisation of the aerosol indirect
climatic effect
EESD
Project PACE
Start Date: 2002-07-01

Multiphase chemistry of oxygenated species
in the troposphere
EESD
Project MOST
Start Date: 2001-12-01
End Date: 2004-11-30
Summer smog is a widespread and chronic problem within the Community.
In order to reduce the levels of oxidants, several EU-directives have
been adopted which are intended to regulate primary emissions. For
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial solvent applications,
this is expected to be met by switching to water soluble, poorly volatile,
long chain-oxygenated species. |

Development of a European multi-model ensemble
system for seasonal to interannual prediction
EESD
Project DEMETER
Start Date: 2000-04-01
End Date: 2003-03-31
Extract: Problems to be solved
Seasonal prediction of climate has shown promise in recent years,
in particular for the tropics (ENSO), but also for the extratropics
and Europe, with potential important socio-economic benefits. There
is a need to further develop this capability and to involve user communities
to maximize benefits. |
