Short summary
In the scope of the AQMEII Phase 1 project the GEM-AQ model was run over Europe for the year 2006 with a resolution of 0.2 × 0.2 degrees. Spatial distribution and temporal variability of the GEM-AQ model results were analyzed for surface ozone and PM10 concentrations in the context of regional climate characteristics. The GEM-AQ model performance was characterized for station types, European climatic regions, and seasons.
