Abstract

This study shows part of the results obtained during the operational evaluation
of MINNI atmospheric modeling system over Italy. MINNI is the Italian
Integrated Assessment Modelling System for supporting the International Negotiation
Process on Air Pollution and assessing Air Quality Policies at national/local
level sponsored by the Italian Ministry of the Environment. The evaluation was carried
out for both meteorology and air quality for the years 1999 and 2005. Changes
of meteorological variables and of ozone concentrations in relation to the change of horizontal grid resolution were also investigated. The results show the capability of
the modelling system to reconstruct the meteorological and ozone fields over Italy.
