Abstract
711 The spatial distribution of air pollution on the local scale of parts of the territory in Czech Republic is simulated by means of Charles University Lagrangian puff model SMOG nested in NWP model ETA. The results are used for the assessment of the concentration fields of ozone, nitrogen oxides and other ozone precursors. A current improved version of the model based on Bednar et al. (2001) covers up to 18 groups of basic compounds and it is based on trajectory computation and puff interaction both by means of Gaussian diffusion, mixing and chemical reactions of basic species. Results of summer photochemical smog episode simulations are compared to results obtained by another couple adopted in the framework of the national project as a basis for further development of data assimilation techniques, Eulerian CTM CAMx nested in NWP model MM5. There are measured data from field campaigns for some episodes as well as air-quality monitoring station data available for comparison of model results with reality. Usually, there is a problem with emission data for the simulations and definitely they are far from actual instantaneous data. Both the couples have rather older databases of emissions available with many uncertainities, for
