In support of the first Tropospheric Ozone Assessment Report (TOAR) a relational database global surface ozone observations has been developed and populated with hourly measurement data enhanced metadata. A comprehensive suite products including standard statistics, health vegetation impact metrics, trend information, are made available through common portal web interface. These form basis TOAR analyses focusing on human health, vegetation, climate relevant issues, which part this special...
Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the availability and use of low-cost particulate matter sensors wide range air quality applications. They carry promise revolutionising monitoring, yet considerable reservations exist regarding their performance capabilities, thus hindering broader-scale utilization these devices. In order to address concerns assess feasibility accuracy for various applications, we evaluated six PM2.5 (the Sharp GP2Y1010AU0F, Shinyei PPD42NS, Plantower...
ABSTRACT Ozone and particle pollution are of concern for the Sydney basin, in particular during warm months (November to March) when levels can exceed national standards. Previous studies on relationship between synoptic circulation air quality focused high days or aggregated conditions over region as a whole. This study provides both temporal spatial analyses processes affecting warm‐month ozone Sydney. A catalogue was developed by applying self‐organising map method NCEP/NCAR geopotential...

The coupled Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) and Chemical Transport (CTM) (CCAM-CTM) was undertaken with eleven emission scenarios segregated from the 2008 New South Wales Greater Metropolitan Region (NSW GMR) Air Emission Inventory to predict major source contributions ambient PM2.5 exposure in NSW GMR. results illustrate that populated areas GMR are characterised annual average of 6–7 µg/m3, while natural sources including biogenic emissions, sea salt wind-blown dust contribute 2–4...
The ability of meteorological models to accurately characterise regional meteorology plays a crucial role in the performance photochemical simulations air pollution. As part research funded by Australian government’s Department Environment Clean Air and Urban Landscape hub, this study set out complete an intercomparison quality over Sydney region. This would test existing modelling capabilities, identify any problems provide necessary validation first component was assess reproduce...
The two-fold utility (data projection and cluster analysis) of a two-phase batch self-organizing map (SOM) procedure (CP2) has been previously explored using the NCEP/NCAR geopotential height data for east Australia. That study focused on examining performance CP2 in comparison with traditional analysis procedure, CP1, purpose synoptic typing. present paper provides additional documentation implementation same region, broader considerations effect SOM size, seasonality, standardization...
Poor air quality is often associated with hot weather, but the quantitative attribution of high temperatures on remains unclear. In this study, effect elevated investigated in Greater Sydney using January 2013, a period extreme heat during which at times exceeded 40 °C, as case study. Using observations from 17 measurement sites and Weather Research Forecasting Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model, we analyse ozone by running number sensitivity studies which: (1) model run biogenic emissions generated...
Accurate air quality modelling is an essential tool, both for strategic assessment (regulation development emission controls) and short-term forecasting (enabling warnings to be issued protect vulnerable members of society when the pollution levels are predicted high). Model intercomparison studies a valuable support this work, being useful identifying any issues with models, benchmarking their performance against international standards, thereby increasing confidence in predictions. This...
A comprehensive evaluation of the performance coupled Conformal Cubic Atmospheric Model (CCAM) and Chemical Transport (CTM) (CCAM-CTM) for New South Wales Greater Metropolitan Region (NSW GMR) was conducted based on modelling results two periods coinciding with measurement campaigns undertaken during Sydney Particle Study (SPS), namely summer in 2011 (SPS1) autumn 2012 (SPS2). The model evaluated fine particulate matter (PM2.5), ozone (O3) nitrogen dioxide (NO2) against air quality data from...
Encompassing a mixture of industrial, mining, commercial, agricultural and residential land use activities in close proximity to one another, the Vaal Triangle faces complex pressing air pollution challenges. A wide range human health assessment studies were undertaken for region during 1990s with several additional being currently underway.
Ozone and fine particles (PM2.5) are the two main air pollutants of concern in New South Wales Greater Metropolitan Region (NSW GMR) due to their contribution poor quality days region.

Exposure to particulate matter results in adverse health outcomes, especially sensitive members of the community. Many communities that co-exist with industry are concerned about perceived impact emissions from on their health. Such concerns have resulted two studies Hunter Valley New South Wales, Australia. The chemical composition samples matter, collected over 12-month sampling periods (2012 and 2014–2015) at six sites across size fractions (PM2.5 PM2.5–10) were input a receptor model...

Agriculture is a significant source of greenhouse gases (GHG).
