TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of tropospheric NO2 from OMI measurements to the median of an ensemble of Regional Air Quality (RAQ) models, and an intercomparison of the contributing RAQ models and two global models for the period July 2008-June 2009 over Europe, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Forecasting peak pollutant levels from meteorological variables
Ioannis C. Ziomas,Dimitrios Melas,Christos Zerefos,Alkiviadis F. Bais,Athanasios G. Paliatsos +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented analytical models relating maximum pollutant concentrations in urban areas with meteorological and other variables, based on measurements from Greater Athens Area and is restricted in only one pollutant of special interest.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical study of the urban heat island over Athens (Greece) with the WRF model
Theodore M. Giannaros,Dimitrios Melas,Ioannis A. Daglis,Iphigenia Keramitsoglou,Konstantinos Kourtidis +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model coupled with the Noah land surface model to simulate the city of Athens, Greece, during two selected days.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical assessment of changes in climate extremes over Greece (1955–2002)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on extreme events of high and low temperatures and precipitation and their amplitude and frequency changes over the last 50 years in Greece and analyzed the temporal evolution of extreme events through the parameters of extreme value distribution.
