The forecasting is conducted over a 120-hour time window and includes the following key airborne pollutants: SO2, NO2, CO, PM10, PM2.5, O3, and benzene.[\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Today’s Forecasts” style=”custom” custom_text=”#666666″ align=”center” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.qualearia.eu|target:_blank” el_class=”lead”][\/vc_column][vc_column el_class=”all-section-title”][vc_row_inner el_id=”moduli”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n
QualeAria<\/strong> is based on the three-dimensional Eulerian model FARM (Flexible Air Quality Regional Model)<\/strong> for pollutant dispersion and chemical reactions in the atmosphere and is managed through F-Air (Arianet Integrated Forecast System Manager)<\/strong>, which connects data sources and modeling components within the operational chain.<\/p>\n Key Components:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8988″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner el_id=”input”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”8989″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n Meteorological Downscaling:<\/strong> The meteorological downscaling in QualeAria<\/strong> is executed using forecast data from the synoptic scale provided by the GFS (Global Forecast System)<\/strong> model, developed by the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) of the United States. This model provides comprehensive global weather forecasts that are crucial for deriving accurate local meteorological conditions.<\/p>\n Boundary Conditions for Dispersion Modeling:<\/strong> The boundary conditions for the dispersion model are derived from the global chemical forecasts produced by the MACC-C-IFS-TM5<\/strong> model, which is managed by ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) under the Copernicus program. These forecasts offer valuable insights into global atmospheric composition and provide the necessary boundary conditions for accurate dispersion modeling.<\/p>\n Emissions Data:<\/strong><\/p>\n The integration of these data sources enables QualeAria<\/strong> to deliver precise and reliable air quality forecasts, essential for effective environmental management and regulatory compliance.<\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\n QualeAria<\/strong> provides boundary conditions to a network of regional and urban air quality forecasting systems created and managed by regional and local environmental agencies. This support aids in monitoring and managing air quality and fulfills the European directives requiring public information on atmospheric pollution conditions.<\/p>\n Forecasting Systems currently connected to QualeAria include:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p><\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9273″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Products” style=”custom” custom_background=”#004986″ custom_text=”#ffffff” align=”center” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-th” add_icon=”true” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Faria-net.it%2Fen%2Fprodotti-2%2F|title:Products”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”content-moving-fade” el_class=”services-section” css=”.vc_custom_1720614783137{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 70px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;background-position: 0 0;background-repeat:-repeat !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]QualeAria, since 2009, has been operationally predicting air pollution…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":10152,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10333","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10333"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10333\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12266,"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10333\/revisions\/12266"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.aria-net.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
