Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in atmospheric pollutant monitoring techniques. It will provide a platform for researchers to share their innovative approaches, methodologies, and findings in monitoring atmospheric pollutants. The scope of the Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  1. The development and application of advanced sampling methods for atmospheric pollutants
  2. Novel analytical techniques for pollutant identification and quantification
  3. Real-time monitoring systems for the continuous assessment of air quality
  4. The integration of remote sensing data with ground-based monitoring techniques
  5. Advances in data analysis and modeling for improved pollutant monitoring
  6. Evaluation and validation of monitoring techniques for accuracy and reliability

By focusing on advancements in monitoring techniques, this Special Issue aims to contribute to the development of more effective and efficient methods for assessing atmospheric pollutant levels. It will facilitate the exchange of knowledge and foster collaborations among researchers and practitioners in the field of atmospheric pollution monitoring.

Emission inventories (EIs) are vital for air quality modeling. Specific research goals often require modifying EIs from diverse data sources, demanding significant code development. In this study, we utilized and further developed the High Elective Resolution Modeling Emission System version three for Global and Regional domains (HERMESv3_gr). This user-friendly processing system was adapted for generating EIs compatible with the Chemistry Transport Model Tracel Model 5 Massive Parallel (TM5-MP). The results indicate that HERMESv3_gr is capable of generating EIs with negligible biases (107 relative differences) for TM5-MP, showcasing its effectiveness. We applied HERMESv3_gr to integrate the EI Regional Emission inventory in Asia (REAS) into the global EI Community Emission Data System (CEDS). Comparison of model results using CEDS alone and the integrated EI against measurement data for various pollutants globally revealed small improvements for carbon monoxide (1%) ethane (1–2%), and nitrogen oxide (2%) and larger for propane (5–7%). Ozone in the northern hemisphere improved by about 2% while in the southern hemisphere improvements of 5% could be observed. Our findings highlight the importance of carefully considering the effects of EI integration for accurate air quality modeling. Full article
