The "European Experiment on the Transport and Transformation of
Environmentally Relevant Trace Constituents over Europe" (EUROTRAC) was
established in 1986 to tackle the scientific problem and combine the
expertise, knowledge and resources in Europe, in order to apply them
over a large region covering the greater part of the continent. EUROTRAC
is a coordinated multidisciplinary scientific research project involving
field measurements, laboratory studies, instrument development and
development of comprehensive computer models for the simulation of the
physical and chemical processes in the lower atmosphere.
