This book explores progress in air pollution modelling, with research contributions at the forefront of the field. It collects papers presented at the 31st NATO/SPS International Technical Meeting on Air Pollution Modelling and its Application held in 2010.

Recent developments in air pollution modeling and its application are explored here in contributions by researchers at the forefront of their field. The book is focused on local, urban, regional and intercontinental modeling; data assimilation and air quality forecasting; model assessment and evaluation; aerosol transformation; the relationship between air quality and human health and the effects of climate change on air quality. The work will provide useful reference material for students and professors interested in air pollution modeling at the graduate level as well as researchers and professionals involved in developing and utilizing air pollution models.
