THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION!
Conclusions on preliminary results: • Regional ozone simulation not really sensitive to BC details • Regional PM simulation very sensitive to Saharan dust events interesting to account for “natural” PM10 excedances
Follow ups of this work: • Comparison with ground data with PM speciation info (e.g. separate contribution from dust) • Comparison with AERONET: AOD at other wavelengths? • Test higher GEOS-Chem resolution (2°x2.5°) • More episodes and statistics on the longer term
