Applications

LOTOS-EUROS performs a varied range of research for and in collaboration with many partners worldwide. Below is a sample of various of our cases.

Air quality forecasting

LOTOS-EUROS provides daily three-day air quality forecast of O3, NO2 and PM10 levels for Europe.

Emissions and emission modelling

Emissions are a key input for any air quality/chemistry transport model.

Source apportionment

A labelling method has been developed to improve source apportionment of concentrations and deposition.

Deposition and nitrogen budget

The deposition of acidifying and eutrophying components and crop damage due to ozone fluxes are still a major issue in the field of atmospheric pollution.

Data assimilation and satellite data

LOTOS-EUROS uses Ensemble Kalman filtering for data assimilation.

Scenarios and impacts

LOTOS-EUROS has been used for a wide variety of emission scenario studies, including the impact of emission timing and land use changes (plantation of biomass).
