THE METEOROLOGY AND POLLUTANT DYNAMICS AREA

The mission of the meteorology and pollutant dynamics area is to characterise the meteorological processes responsible for climate, and dispersion and transport of atmospheric pollutants by using field measures, data from weather towers and air quality monitoring stations, teledetection data and numerical modelling tools (meteorological and atmospheric scattering).

The main research activities undertaken in this area can be grouped into three main themes:

a) describing the meteorological processes determining climate and atmospheric pollution in the Mediterranean region 

(b) monitoring the atmosphere 

(c) adapting and comprehensively methodologies to enable better environmental monitoring management and improved configuration of meteorological and atmospheric pollution dispersion models in the Mediterranean region.
