Abstract. A multiscale modeling ensemble chain has been assembled as a first step towards an air quality analysis and forecasting (AQF) system for Latin America. Two global three regional models were tested compared in retrospective mode over shared domain (120–28° W, 60° S–30° N) the months of January July 2015. The objective this experiment was to understand their performance characterize errors. Observations from local monitoring networks Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Mexico, Ecuador Peru used...
Since the implementation of emission control policies in 1983, Metropolitan Area São Paulo (MASP) has experienced a significant decrease annual mean concentration air pollutants, except for ozone, which remained relatively stable. This work analyzes future impact on surface ozone formation MASP caused by changes atmospheric conditions. The authors performed quality simulations using weather research and forecasting with chemistry (WRF-Chem) model under two representative pathway (RCP) A base...
Abstract. A multi-scale modeling ensemble chain has been assembled as a first step towards an Air Quality forecasting system for Latin America. Two global and three regional models were tested compared over shared domain (120W–28W, 60S–30N) to simulate January July of 2015. Observations from local air quality monitoring networks in Colombia, Chile, Brazil, México, Ecuador Peru used model evaluation. The generally agreed with observations large cities such México City São Paulo, whereas...
Air pollution is a widespread problem that affects all areas of society because poor air quality results in an increase the incidence various diseases are influenced by environment, notable among which kidney diseases. Studies indicate prolonged exposure to moderate-tohigh concentrations particulate matter (PM) can decrease renal function, promoting progression chronic and related problems. Despite emission controls on road transport sector, people Metropolitan Area São Paulo (MASP) have...
Southeastern Brazil is the most developed and populous region with 89.5 million of inhabitants, according to Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) for 2021. The main metropolitan industrialized areas are concentrated in its four states (São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio Janeiro Espírito Santo). One them comprises Metropolitan Area São Paulo (MASP) 7.3 vehicles that releases air pollutant -gas ultrafine particles- atmosphere due use different...
