Abstract

The development of effective air quality management strategies at regional and urban level requires the preparation of several actions belonging to different scientific areas and analysis of its complex interactions. A well structured management system must be based on efficient tools that integrate a diverse set of informations emissions, traffic, meteorological variables and air quality data. Ideally such a system should include appropriate modelling tools that could be used to perform spatial interpolation and air quality forecasts. The present work describes the modelling system developed for the air quality management of the city of Lisbon. This system is incorporated in a visual environment and coupled with the modelling package allowing a fast analysis of the air quality situation over the city and the consequent development of on-line control measures.
