A Method of Carbon Monoxide Emission Forecast in Moscow

A. P. Revokatova

Proposed is a method of operational forecast of carbon monoxide distribution in Moscow based on the data on the power and distribution of its sources. Described is a method of computation of carbon monoxide emission to the atmosphere based on the data on its concentration. It is demonstrated that the emissions computed by this method can be used as the input data for chemistry transport models. Carried out is a number of numerical experiments with the COSMO-ART model. The results of model simulations are in good agreement with the observational data . The developed method of computation of carbon monoxide emissions enables to realize the operational short-range forecast of its concentration.
