7 The Arms Race Introduction Air Quality Models (Chemistry-Transport Models) rely on subgrid parameterizations. The resulting equations generate high-dimensional numerical issues. Both issues (modeling & numerics) are much more challenging for aerosol dynamics, based on more and more detailed models. Yet, even after having tackled these problems, models have to be carefully used, because of uncertainties. Ensemble modeling is one possible answer. Coupling together observational data and numerical models is carried out with data assimilation methods. Advanced issues are related to network design. For impact assessment, integrated modeling relies on look-up tables, to be computed with detailed models. B. Sportisse Air Quality Modeling and Simulation TeraTech, 20 June / 28
