Risks, challenges and mitigation actions in the APICE partners’ area: between the scientific findings and new governance models - Genoa
M.C. Bove, P. Brotto,F. Cassola, E. Cuccia, D. Massabò, A. Mazzino, P. Prati
Department of Physics – University of Genoa
Final conference – Venice, 8th November 2012
APICE scientific issues: the case of Genoa
Main goal: to provide Authorities and Stakeholders with a
reliable tool to study and forecast air quality: a “Chemical
Transport Model, CTM”
Methodology (shared with all the Partners):
1) “picture” of air quality (i.e. PM2.5) with a 1-year
monitoring campaign Source Apportionment (SA).
2) CTM assessment with updated emission data
3) Check of CTM vs. real-world measured data
4) Comparison of SA by CTM and monitoring campaign

Monitoring campaign
Intensive campaign (May-Oct 2011)
after prevailing meteo conditons analysis
• The PM2.5 level is almost the same in the three sites
Main PM2.5 sources: at “regional” scale

• The correlation between PM2.5 time series is stronger for the sites much closer to the port

Temporal behaviour of ship emissions
Many ferries to the
Islands
Meteorological preprocessor: WRF
3-domain configuration (10 km + 3.3 + 1.1 km)
Simulations driven by NCEP GFS fields (0.5°)
24-hr-long simulations, hourly outputs, year 2011

Chemical transport model: CAMx
• Maritime sector (harbour activities)
• Road transport
• Industry
• Non-industrial combustion plants
• Other sources (including natural emissions)
Outer domain covering Western and Central Europe (10 km resolution)
2-way nesting procedure
Inner domain – focus on local area
47x47 grid points
1.1 km resolution
PM source apportionment approaches:
Zero-out
CAMx PSAT routine
City area
Harbor area
Pollutants:
NOx, SOx, CO, PM….
Emission data
Large-scale anthropogenic emission data provided by AUTH (TNO data processed through the MOSESS code)
Natural emissions obtained processing WRF outputs with the NEMO code (developed by AUTH)
Updated (2010) harbour emission data calculated by Techne Srl (provider of Province of Genoa) according to CORINAIR Guidebook 2011 (no disaggregation for different harbour activities contribution available)
Local gridded emission data provided by Liguria Region (reference year 2008):
