Modeling Effects of Climate Change on Air Quality and Population Exposure in Urban Planning Scenarios

Table 3

Population-weighted average exposure given for a total population of 1463780 persons living inside the modeling domain. Model simulations performed for the smaller Stockholm domain with 1 × 1  km2spatial resolution. Air quality simulations were made for the single year 2010 and 2030, with RCA3 downscaled ECHAM5 A1B-r3 meteorology and time varying RCP4.5 emissions over Europe. Unit: 𝜇  gm−3.
