An understanding of long-range transport of air pollutants in the
atmosphere requires a knowledge of the relevant atmospheric dynamic and
chemical processes active at the regional scale as well as the temporal
and spatial distribution of emissions. Numerical modeling is the most
efficient way to determine the atmospheric transport, photochemistry and
deposition pathways. The book therefore discusses the physical and
chemical processes that determine regional air pollution and presents
the relevant modeling techniques to describe the different atmospheric
processes that are active at that scale.
