Short summary

Two different available air quality modelling systems were used to investigate physical and chemical processes that contributed to increased daily background PM₁₀ in all of Europe (focusing on eastern and central Europe). Differentiation of modelling performance in respect to the terrain height was found. A strong influence of meteorological conditions on increased background PM₁₀ and statically stable atmospheric conditions were recognized as a key factor in the build-up of background PM₁₀.
