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

Table 2

Model simulations performed for the large metropolitan area with 2 × 2  km2 spatial resolution. Present and future meteorology represent 3 full years centered around 2010 and 2030, receptively. Data generated by the RCA3 model forced with ECHAM5 A1B-r3 and HadCM3 A1B-ref on the boundaries.
